Thanks for looking at this listing! May I present my new reference book, "The M1 Garand: International Harvester", which covers the entire production story of the IHC M1 Garand rifle at Evansville, Indiana, from 1952-1956.
This book provides a detailed account of the IHC rifle production on a month-by-month basis and includes the serial number ranges produced that month, IHC internal memos, production correspondence letters with Ordnance, and high-quality images of actual rifles assembled that month.
It also covers the famous Line Material (LMR) barrel production, and details the plant machinery with period photos of barrels on the assembly line.
And it also covers the Overton M1 Garand stock and Richardson handguard production (with photos) which were produced for the rifle. There is also a section devoted to explaining those strange letter codes and numbers in the stock channels, with accompanying high-quality photos.
Here are some details about the book:
