Hi all,
..Caliber .30 Primer-actuated Rifles, by Mr. Garand, first demonstrated and how many of these rifles were made.
Have fun with this one. It's easy.
Thanks again

One in 1919 and Hatcher's notebook mentions a second model in 1921, however production numbers I didn't find.

1932
The first 79 guns were tool room guns, the 80th Garand was the first to go into service.

Between 1932 - 34 there were 80 Garands made.

Jason Demond,
Nice work. However you are talking about the wrong rifle. These are the Caliber .30 Primer-actuated Rifles. These were early testing rifles. Keep working on it guys.
Thanks again
Clancy
