That specific M1 was produced sometime in November, 1943. I hope this helps!

Depends on manufacturer.



If it\'s a Springfield Armory, June, 1945. (3 months before end of WWII)



Winchester Repeating Arms Company only ran up to serial number 1,640,xxx

This is the best site I could find to give you an idea of what year your m1 was made. They were made from June 1942 to Aug. 1945.
