| M1/New Front End
Hi all, This one might not be that hard. Here we go. When, where and how many M1 Garand Rifles were sent for testing that had the new front end, from the Gas Trap. http://www.garandm1rifle.com http://www.users.fast.net/~eclancy Thanks again for taking the time and effort to open read and try your answer.

Hi all, Ordnance had sent 10 M1 Garands with the new front end on Sept. 27, 1939. They were sent to Ft. Benning. They were shipped by Express. The files also tell of other rifles with the new front end sent to another base. The "other base" got into real hot water for their testing, bit that's another quiz. http://www.garandm1rifle.com http://www.users.fast.net/~eclancy Thanks again for taking the time and effort to open read and try your answer.
