Date Showing M1 Garand as Standard Issue

Gentlemen,
AS you can see by the files below the M1 Garand was adopted on Jan. 9, 1936. The main problem was that at that time only the 80 toolroom models had been built. The FIRST M1 Garands for production did not start until July of 1937. I hope you enjoy this data.







A Veteran, whether active duty, retired, national guard, or reserve, is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to “The United States of America” for an amount of “up to and including my life.”

Thanks again for taking the time and effort to read this data. I hope you have learned a little of the history of the M1 Garand.

ps Could use some hits. I hope to have both sites update in soon. Have fun hope you enjoy and learn.
