M1's for the USMC/Quiz
« on: December 04, 2005, 07:32:10 AM »
Gentlemen,

In the mid 1930's the USMC ordered a number of M1 Garand Rifles. How many M1 Garands were in this order? Remember, this was before the USMC adopted the M1 Rifle. Second part of the quiz for extra points: Where were they sent?

Have fun

HA!  That's easy!  They ordered more than one and they were all sent to the Marines.  Right???  Thank you.  Mikey.
