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

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
