Gentlemen,

This file is from 1927 dealing with the Garand Rifle and Caliber to be used. Notice paragraphs 3 and 4. I think you will find them of interest.

From what I've read, the US was very gun ho for this new caliber, but notice the date on the memo.... 1927.... before the great depression. With all the cut backs in the 30's, the US Army decided to stay with the 30-06, mainly due to the large stock of that ammo they still had, and the lack of funds for anything new....
 
Gentlemen,
This is the kind of data that the books are made up from. Ordnance files that read like a murder mystery. The deals and Orders are something I am trying to get out there. This stuff has not been seen before. Here's is the rest of the memo.

Have fun with this part of the memo

That is a major point. Getting funds for the new rifle.

Thanks again for taking the time and effort to read this important data
