M1 Garand/Quiz/answer

[eclancy]

Hi all,
The last quiz was as follows:
What happened in Oct. 1937 to have Winchester drop any work, even ammo production, on the M1 Garand?
Have fun
Thanks again

The answer to this quiz is that Winchester wanted "advance information on its operation." Also it would "test " its operation. This would let Winchester give Ordnance an independent check of the performance of the gun at no cost to them. However, the Chief of Ordnance states that the development and manufacture of the rifle were too CONFIDENTIAL to disclose at that time.!!!!
Hope you had fun with this one. I will make an easy one to post.
Thanks again
Clancy
PS There's a ton more data on this file, but that's for more quizzes.

Do you have any trivia questions that don't involve the M1 Garand? Your Garand questions are to hard for me. I have spent hours trying to find the answers to some your questions. One good things is that I have learned a lot more about the Garand while researching your questions.

thumbtack,
That's the whole point. If your checking your data you will run into stuff you might have missed the first time around.
Thanks again

My 30 years of research deals with the M1 Garand and all the Ordnance files I have found.
