I'm not communicating very well. WW II Garands were manufactured by Springfield Armory and Winchester.

Both manufacturers made each of the components on the Garand and stamped them appropriately. Those with the correct manufacturer's mark on all the stamped components are highly collectible, as opposed to the typical mixmaster Garands that resulted from rebuilds, imports or general maintenance.

Following WWII, Springfield rebuilt a number of M1s at the onset of the Korean War. Iver Johnson and Harrington & Richardson also produced M1s during the Korean War period.

For the M1 Carbine, some manufacturers only built the receiver with the remaining components coming from other manufacturers to complete the rifle.

My question was whether the M14 followed the M1 Carbine model or the M1 Garand.

Somewhat of a moot point since it unlikely to find an original M14 receiver since they were select fire unless you have the appropriate license.
