What ever happened with Rock Island Arsenal. I read an article in the American Rifleman magazine about the International Harvester Garands and it was noted that a main reason the contract was awarded to them was to spread out the production of rifles from the east coast. Rock Island is certainly in the mid-west.

I know they quit producing 03's in the early 1920's but it was an extensive facility: Was it dismantled by the 1950's?
