What’s the most-produced milsurp of WW2?

[alleycat]

Does where ever you got that from state the production time period? Wondering if that 14M is actually from WW1 through WW2.

That’s all it showed, but your idea does make sense

I'll take a sten.

 

[NWSharpshooter]

That graph is WW2 only. Number gotta be higher than that not to mention the M16 and AK47 numbers both far exceed all of those combined.

 

[mo mauser]

I bet the number of Mausers based on the 98 action is huge and would lead by a large margin if you broaden the comparison. I'm curious if you compared all variation of the Mauser action to the ak if there haven't been more Mausers. Numerous countries not directly involved in the hostilities of WW2 were arming themselves with Mausers leading up to and during the war years. The Ak like the Mauser has evolved since it's inception so why not include all variations? Even the ar platform evolved from the m16 to the m4 even the m110 sass etc

I wonder how many K98s were turned into Volkswagen frames after the war

 

[Torn]

I’m surprised there were more M1 Carbines than M1 Garands.

 

[dadx3]

The number for M1 Garands is also off. If it including some of the post war builds, WW2 builds was under 4 million.

 

[WFO62]

That 14 million figure on the 98 K rifles built runs from 1934 to 1945 only...

Also on the Garands vs. Carbines... there were 10 production lines building carbines... versus only 2... building Garands...

HTH...

 

[mtnsmith]

Where are all the M1 Carbines?
