John Garand (above, second from right) was present for a ceremony at Springfield Armory on May 17, 1957, commemorating the last M1 rifle to come off the assembly line, Serial No. 6084405. Between July 1937 and May 1957, more than 5 million M1 Garand rifles were produced by Springfield Armory, Winchester, H&R, International Harvester and others.
Q. What is the serial number for the final M1 Garand rifle made?
A. The last M1 rifle to come off the assembly line was Serial No. 6084405 on May 17, 1957, and this rifle is on display at the Springfield Armory National Historic Site museum. However, this was not the highest serial number used: M1 rifles were not assembled in sequential serial number order, and some receivers with higher numbers were assembled earlier. The highest-known M1 rifle serial number is 6100499 based on Director of Civilian Marksmanship records.
