VERY IMP Ordnance Breakdown/1939

Gentlemen,
WW 2 Broke out on Sept. 1, 1939. This is just a small report of when the M1 Project 5 began and what orders were fill and when. Notice the USMC and the Coast Guard numbers. This data does give us some idea of what Ordnance was doing in this time frame. I hope you enjoy.

If you need a better copy just email me.
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. So if you're at work or home it may be wise to check your volume control.

Hit'em again
Gentlemen, your hits are saving this data.
Thanks again

$80 Garands

Financed at $80 each, and if it took 45 man-hours to build each one, assuming that if the total cost was only labor, without cost of materials or overhead, labor cost was $1.77 per hour. Heckuva deal. Considering other costs, the labor portion would be even less.
