The M1 Garand was the designated service rifle of World War II and the Korean War for the United States Military.  It's caliber was .3006. The Garand,
as it has become known, was designed for semi-automatic fire using a spring steel clip containing 8 rounds. This is where the term "clip" originated. All other rifles used a detachable or fixed magazine. The  M1 Garand was designed for long range accuracy  i.e. battle zero was set for any target less than 200 yards It was the only rifle that had fully adjustable i.e. windage and elevation, rear sights. General George S. Patton remarked that "it was the greatest battle rifle ever produced".
     The M1A or M14 was the designated service rifle of the Viet Nam War and was soon replaced by the M16 (The Black Rifle) as it soon became known. Most M1A's are not true M14's because the M14 was capable of full automatic fire. It  was very similar in design to the M1 Garand, it was magazine fed by a 20 round magazine and cambered for the new 7.62 Nato (308 Winchester) cartridge.  Similarly, it too was known for long range accuracy i.e. battle zero was set for any target less than 200 yards.
