Canning Data
"Many of the unserviceable weapons received by Field Service were rebuilt and directed into the Long Term Storage Program. During the fiscal year 1947, the Armory canned 87,300 M1 Rifles. The following fiscal year production was greatly increased and the following major items were 'canned'.
220,310 Rifle, U.S. Cal. .30 M1
254,520 Carbine, Cal. .30 M1 & M2
10,000 Rifle, B. A. Cal. .30 M191842
20,007 Gun, B. M. .50 Cal. M2
14,083 Gun, B. M. .50 Cal. M2, H.B. Flex
59,920 Pistol, Auto. Cal. .45 M1911A1
29,910 Gun, Sub-Mach. Cal. .45 M3, M3A1
Many of the unserviceable weapons received from overseas were rebuilt and directed into this Long Term Storage. Due to the lack of storage space the Armory shipped the processed items directly from the shops, a highly successful procedure that required close coordination of production and shipping schedules."
