The origin of the M1 Garand started after World War I when the US Ordnance started a requirement for a auto-loading infantry rifle, over the next ten years many inventors and firearms designer submitted their design for such rifle. One of the more promising design created was made by an inventor named John Cantius Garand. Because of the success of his design he was employed at the Springfield Armory, but when his original design reached a dead end a new design was created in 1932 which would later become the M1 Garand and adopted by the US Army in 1936 as the "semi-automatic rifle, caliber 30, M1"M1 Garand History - Bob Seijas, Garand Collection AssociationRifles of the World (3rd edition) - John Walter, Krause Publications and the US Marine Corps and Navy in 1940Springfield Armory: The Best Battle Implement Ever Devised - Springfield Armory.
Millions of M1 Garand rifles were produced by different manufacturers during World War 2, because of this the US Army became the only Army during World War 2 which fully issued a semi-automatic rifle as the standard infantry rifle causing it's soldiers to have a much higher firepower than other soldiers of the time, infact the M1 Garand was dubbed "The greatest battle implement ever devised" by George PattonPatton & the Garand: “Greatest Battle Implement Ever Devised” - T.

Early in the war the US Army requested that a sniper version of the M1 Garand equipped with a telescopic sight be developed, but due to the nature of the M1 Garand loading and ejecting mechanisms a telescopic sight cannot be mounted like most rifles at the time. The US Army Ordinance tried several solutions such as a prismatic telescope with the eyepiece centered over the M1’s rear sight while the main tube is actually offset. Before a sniper version of the M1 Garand could be developed a modified M1903A3 bolt-action rifle was adopted in early 1943 as a temporary solution. The best solution was concluded to be a telescopic sight mounted offset to the left from the iron sights. Such an offset location required a leather cheek pad be attached to the stock to properly position the shooter’s face. The rifle was eventually adopted on 27 July 1944, as the “U.S. Rifle, Cal.30, M1C, Snipers".The M1C Garand Sniper Rifle - Bruce N. Canfield, American Rifleman, 29 August 2014
