Hi all,

Try harder
Thanks again
Clancy
ps maybe I have posted one too many quiz questions on the M1 Garand. I will give you all a long rest for my goofy questions.

Your subject line is too ambiguous. I opened the thread mistakenly. You'll probably get lots of responses if you fix the subject line to attract the people interested in the topic.

JohnKSa,
I agree with you on this. Thanks for the comeback.

Hi all,
What was wrong with the "order to Standardization of the U. S. Semiautomatic Rifle, Caliber .30 M1, is considered suitable for service use and is classified as follows:"
Down on part (3) "The Ordnance Department is charged with the storage and issue of this item.
By Order of the Secretary of War"
The Main problem with this Order is that there are no M1 Rifles, except for the 80 toolroom models. So in 1936 there was nothing to store or issue. There would not be any production M1 Rifles until Aug. of 1937.
Of course there were TWO M1 Rifles built in July of 1937.
Hope you had fun with this one.
Thanks again
Clancy
ps I think most of you guys would like a break from my quiz on the M1 Garand
Thanks to those who played the game.
