An M1 Garand every 2.083 Minutes?

[Clancy]

Gentlemen,
If I did my numbers right it does come out to be one (1) M1 Garand every TWO (2) MINUTES. I don't know if the Winchester M1's are in that rate of 3000 per day. Guys that is really moving along. At the time i.e. 1942 I don't think that there was any other power in WW 2 to have production rates anywhere near the USA. I think if we tried that today it might be hard to match. Look at the date.

Some data has been posted before others have not.

Thanks again

Wow, that's pretty impressive Any idea how long it took to produce one from start-to-finish?

So with 3000 rifles per day it would take 2.5 years to arm all 2,685,713 members of the US military if they wanted to output M1 rifles to arm everyone.

Would only take 32 days to arm the Canadian Forces.

Gentlemen,
There is a file I have that states that 45 man hours are needed to make an M1 Garand.
Thanks again
