There are no great men, only great challenges that ordinary men are forced by circumstances to meet.

Probably a lot higher... The Notebook shows 405,000 completed at SA by February 4th and an order for 100K started two days before:
February 2, 1942 XO-777-1 Started Rifles in order 100,000
February 4, 1942 XO-3570-4 Finished TOTAL RIFLES 405,625
Real men measure once and cut.

Left handed? Cute as a button and engaged. I hope her beau made it.

No WW2 KIA or Casualties from Mass with that Name - Also no listings on find a grave for Slefanit
The real question is who is in the photo behind her? and what year was it taken
if you get both correct I know you look it up

Of course it would be. I was one year out of whack with memory of my own LL 328219 SA barrel date... I was thinking mine was made in '42. Long time since I saw that rifle.

So with the proofing of the weapon did the US at the time use the short ton 2,000lbs as the standard measurement also would the English proofing be based on the imperial ton 2,240lbs.
