#M1 garand serial numbers dates how to#

Last edited by Noah_Zark May 13th, 2016 at 01:09 PM. Think of drawing numbers as 'part numbers'. Barrel drawing numbers from wartime through 1957 were 'D35448' where 'D' was the size of the blueprint sheet on which the drawing was made, and 35448 was the actual number of the part.

Sometime after that, your rifle was rebuilt and this barrel was installed. Your barrel is a postwar replacement made by the government's Springfield Armory in March, 1967. W1 - 'Heat Number' i.e., lot number code of the steel from which the barrel was made. The number on the barrel of your M1 Rifle breaks down as follows:Д¦535448 - Drawing number (1960s spare part production) This suggests it was manufactured Jan-Feb 1945. The reason I think the receiver is WW2 era is because the number on it is: 3429466.

I want to know how to decipher the number on the barrel. I have an M1 Garand that so far appears to be a WW2 era rifle. If you run into an IP ban, it likely wasn't you.
