Not just the Marines.
Collectors of rebuilt marked Garands look for "TE" (Toole Army Depot), "LE" (Letterkenny) and "RRAD" (Red River) marked Garands. Most are scribed with dates between 1964 and 1967 on the receiver leg. The mid 60's seems to have been a period of great activity when it came to overhauling Garands.
