In U.S. military nomenclature, M1, has nothing to do with a firearm. Has to do with any first model piece of kit. The M1 Rifle was never called a Garand by the U.S. military.
"...zinc body guns..." Nope. Never have been either. Investment castings.

M1903 (Springfield rifle) was on the list as it should be.

And let's add M1903 (Colt pistol.)

And while we're at it, let's retroactively retire the name "Springfield Armory" as of 1968, and let the boys in Geneseo, IL come up with their own name.
