Curiously, they did not choose the M1 Garand, instead opting to begin domestic manufacture of a G43 copy in .30-06. The rifles were ready in 1954, made by the Fabrica de Itajub\u00e1 in Minas Gerais. However, the guns had a lot of problems &#8211; not surprising when you look at the poor construction quality &#8211; and only about 300 were made before production was cut off. Ultimately the Brazilian military would continue using updated Mauser bolt actions in .30-06 (confusingly also designated M954) until adopted the FN FAL in 1964, built in the same Itajub\u00e1 factory.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.patreon.com\/ForgottenWeapons\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/www.patreon.com\/ForgottenWeapons<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.floatplane.com\/channel\/ForgottenWeapons\/home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.floatplane.com\/channel\/ForgottenWeapons\/home<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Cool Forgotten Weapons merch! <a href=\"http:\/\/shop.bbtv.com\/collections\/forgotten-weapons\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/shop.bbtv.com\/collections\/forgotten-weapons<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Contact:<br \/>\nForgotten Weapons<br \/>\n6281 N.
