Making Stocks/M1

[Clancy]

Gentlemen,
The two photo's on this file show us to makes of M1 Garand stocks. The First shaper is making only one stock at a time. Notice how it follows the MASTER on top. The second shows the shape and sanding. It can do two stocks at a time.

Without input from you guys no one learns anything Try to put in some info/question and we can learn more of the M1's History. Your input is very important to all of us.
Some of these have been seen before.

Gentlemen
Your on TIME and on TARGET

Thanks again

Clancy,

I have to say thanks for all these historical documents that you post on the M1. I find them interesting. It appears that the Master stock is somewhat over sized and unproportionate to a finished stock, unless it is distortion in the picture. Duplicators that I have seen the Master stock is proportional.

Just side note that the first Garand stocks started life as blanks for 1903s

I think it's fantastic to see all those machines from before injection molding and CNC machining "era"...

Took the liberty of "augmenting" them to have a better look, might was well post them!
