The Garand performed so well that the U.S. saw little need to replace it during World War II, and the .30-06 served well beyond the Korean War and into the mid-1950s.
Garand je radio tako dobro da je SAD vidio malu potrebu da ga zamijeni tijekom 2. svjetskog rata i .30-06 je dobro služila poslije Korejskog rata i u sredini 1960-ih.
