Greetings all. Being a newbie to the world of Garand collecting I'm trying to lean as much information as my old brain housing will absorb and I thought I would ask the experts. Right now I'm confused about the use of the various SA11 marked safeties. From what I understand the SA-11 and SA_11 were WW2 production with the -11 starting to be used some where in the neighborhood of the 1.8 million rifles. Where I'm confused is as to when the _11 began use or were both used concurrently. Additionally as I understand, from different sources, the SA11 started use near the 4.2 million range. At what point did the transition change to the SA 11? Any and all information is appreciated.
Thank you in advance;
Mike George
