Gentlemen,
Here's an easy quiz on the Model 1903.
This problem started in the mid 1930's. On March 5, 1941 The USMC adopted the M1 Garand Rifle. At that point in time the USMC states that it has "At the present time the Marine Corps has approximately 52,000 serviceable M-1903 Rifles; 4,000 awaiting reconditioning for which the Marine Corps has been unable to get spare parts from the Army; and an additional 3,000 each component of which is unservicable."
Remember, this is in 1941.
The quiz is what has happened with the Model 1903 Rifles and Why did it happen.
I need TWO answers on this one.
Have fun with this one.
My sites with data and books and CD for sale. These are commercial sites. They also have Ordnance Data files posted there.
