M1/Just checking

Hi all,
on all you guys. When and how many M1 Garands were placed in the first order. I need the number of M1 rifles that were in the first order, when the first order was started and when was the first order finished. This is a newbie quiz so you older guys let them try first. Then again you older guys might not know the answer to this quiz either. hum I wonder....

Hi all,
Yes I did have this one off. Anyway here's the answer:
The first number of rifles was 1500 M1 Garand Rifles
The first order started in August of 1937.
The order was finished in March of 1938.
Sorry about that I needed the Production M1 Garands
