He's talking about 5.5 million range serial number. Many feel that after that range the rifles were better built.
Sweet rifle, btw.

You would hope that after 5.5 million made they'd have all the bugs worked out.

Sorry guys, been watching tube with the Boss. Each manufacturer of Garands(There were four; Springfield Armory, Winchester, Harrington&Richardson and, International Harvester) had specific Blocks of Serial Numbers to use, For example; HRA had a block of numbers from 4.6 million to 6.034million. Mine was built in early(Jan/Feb.) 1956.

Any Garand with a S/N below 3.888 million was built during WWII. This would be either a SA(Springfield Armory) or a Winchester.
