| Garands START to SHIP/#2 testing Gentlemen, These files show us the very start of M1 Garand Production. They also show where the First Garands are to be shipped.   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. Thanks again Clancy NRA Life Endowment NRA Training Counselor NRA Instructor FSS 90% / BW X Speed Div by 1000 = PF THA 63 |

| Boy if I they would have ony filmed this all so we could see the rifles and them testing  them. A full take down and close up would be great, but for now all we have is Ed's papers to read and imagine  how it was back then. Thanks again Ed and thank Carol for us also as she is the unkown soldier  in this. Rick B
