Most variants of the Garand, save the sniper variants, never saw active duty.[49] The sniper versions were modified to accept scope mounts, and two versions (the M1C, formerly M1E7, and the M1D, formerly M1E8) were produced, although not in significant quantities during World War II.[57] The only difference between the two versions is the mounting system for the telescopic sight. In June 1944, the M1C was adopted as a standard sniper rifle by the U.S. Army to supplement the venerable M1903A4, but few saw combat; wartime production was 7,971 M1Cs.[58]

The procedure required to install the M1C-type mounts through drilling/tapping the hardened receiver reduced accuracy by warping the receiver. Improved methods to avoid reduction of accuracy were inefficient in terms of tooling and time. This resulted in the development of the M1D, which utilized a simpler, single-ring Springfield Armory mount attached to the barrel rather than the receiver. The M1C was first widely used during the Korean War. Korean War production was 4,796 M1Cs and 21,380 M1Ds; although few M1Ds were completed in time to see combat.[58]

The U.S. Marine Corps adopted the M1C as their official sniper rifle in 1951. This USMC 1952 sniper’s rifle, or MC52, was an M1C with the commercial Stith Bear Cub scope manufactured by the Kollmorgen Optical Company under the military designation: telescopic sight - Model 4XD-USMC. The Kollmorgen scope with a slightly modified Griffin & Howe mount was designated MC-1. The MC52 was also too late to see extensive combat in Korea, but it remained in Marine Corps inventories until replaced by bolt-action rifles during the Vietnam War.[58] The U.S. Navy has also used the Garand, rechambered for the 7.62×51mm NATO round.

A detachable M2 conical flash hider, adopted 25 January 1945 slipped over the muzzle and was secured in place by the bayonet lug. A T37 flash hider was developed later. Flash hiders were of limited utility during low-light conditions around dawn and dusk, but were often removed as potentially detrimental to accuracy.[58]

I would love a scoped M2 carbine rather than another sniper garand.

It could be an interesting alternative, similar to rhe german’s sniper assault rifle STG/Mkb

i would want a scoped t20 more but well the weeboos would cry

already in the game as a “Sniper M1 Garand”

Nope that is M1C

M1C is a separate weapon entirely, M1D is a BR3 sniper garand

The M1C is not the M1 carbine
M1C M1D are both sniper rifles

M1C is a BR5 sniper Garand, M1D is a BR3 sniper Garand

M1D Garand with M84 scope
The M1D Garand with M84 scope is available in Invasion of Normandy campaign to Allies side, referred as “Sniper M1 Garand” in-game. It is unlocked at Campaign Level 21 along with Sniper III squad. Unlike the aforementioned M1C, the in-game M1D doesn’t feature any other modifications besides the M84 scope. This M84 scope, however, was incorrectly portrayed as having a 6x magnification, and can be unequipped through “Change equipment”. Due to the difference in magnification and damage, players will obviously struggle between using M1C or M1D.

The weapon shares the identical in-game stats with the vanilla M1 Garand, as well as the icon in tech tree, which will be wrong for M1D Garand. The in-game description also implies that this is just a Garand with sights attached. The game’s adoption of these vague depictions may be due to the fact that, despite the introduction of the M1D in September 1944, the weapon did not even participate in the conflict in the Korean War as a result of slow production, while the game itself has always advertised itself as “historically accurate”.

bows holding hands sorry
but why is the M1C the MIC and the MID the sniper garande and how is br3 br5 there almost the same gun bar a different scope and mount

So we already have that in game

What I really want is a T-20 sniper rifle. I am not aware that one was ever made, however lets not let reality sink into Enlisted as they’ve strayed far from it already. If you build it, I will use it. :blush: Yeah, three sniper squads using T-20’s along with Machine gunners carrying 40 Round BAR’s. :thinking: I think I like that idea, yeah, I like it a lot.
