First Production Data on the M1 Garand

[Clancy]

Gentlemen,
These TWO (2) files show us how the production of the M1 Garand is coming along. You must remember that the M1 Garand was made "Standard for issue" on Jan. 9, 1936. The only M1 Garands around were the 80 Toolroom Models. So these files do give us some great info. I hope you find these of interest if you are looking for early production of the M1 Garand.

I am PLAYING a .WAV GAME somewhere on one of my sites you will find a Speaker type HORN. That HORN is the .WAV file I use to open BOTH of my sites with. If you find it you can then make a copy of it on your system.

Some data has been posted before others have not.
Warning, before you go to my sites lower your volume as the opening page contains a sound file which has a loading and firing of the M1 Garand.

Gentlemen you know what to do. Push just a little more TIA. Gentlemen your doing a GREAT JOB.

Thanks again
Clancy

Clancy, I don't want to hijack, just to add a bit. But here are a couple pics I took last March, on a trip I took. I've got a few more pics of the grounds, buildings and the museum, but I've had them up here before. Interesting date on the bottom receiver.

Sir,
Nice comeback. On my CD I have the movies at SA in 1940 showing all manor of production.
Thanks again
Clancy

Here's the Springfield Armory museum building. This was one of the main shipping buildings, where the Garands were sent on their way. The grounds were fairly large with quite a few building still in operation as part of the technical school. It's too bad the buildings weren't better marked for historical purposes, and what they were used for.

And the back of the museum.

And one of the assembly areas/buildings.
