    The M1 Garand rifle was the first standard-issue autoloading rifle for the United States, chambered for the .30-06 Springfield cartridge and designed by John Garand. It performed well in battle according to General George S. Patton. Several accessories were used with the Garand including the M1905, M1, and M5 bayonets which had blades ranging from 16 to 6.75 inches. The most common sling was the two-piece leather M1907 sling, though an olive drab canvas sling was introduced in 1942.

    The rifle is chambered for the .30-06 Springfield
    cartridge and is named after its Canadian-American
    designer, John Garand. It was the first standard-issue

    the M1 rifle performed well. General George S. Patton
    called it "the greatest battle implement ever devised"
    Parts of a Rifle
    Several accessories were used with the Garand rifle. Several
    different styles of bayonets fit the rifle: the M1905, with a 16-inch
    (406 mm) blade; the M1 with a 10-inch (254 mm) blade (either
    made standard or shortened from existing M1905 bayonets); and
    the M5 bayonet with 6.75-inch (171 mm) blade.

    The M1907 two-piece leather rifle sling was the most
    common type of sling used with the weapon through
    World War II. In 1942, an olive drab canvas sling was
    introduced that gradually became more common
