Picked up a box of this today, Frankford Arsenal 1929

Interesting for those who know what it is.

Wasnt that the early garand test caliber (pedersen) before the 30-06?

 

[dadx3]

.276 Pedersen, the original M1 Garand caliber. Loaded by Frankford Arsenal in 1929 during the early development of the M1. The box is in amazing condition for being almost 100 years old. Lot number is only 23.

The prototype Garands held 10 of those instead of the 8 M2 Ball, IIRC.

Re the pedersen rifle --
saw one about 1960 at a local gun show in mountain view calif--
Man wanted about $500-600 then -- Having just bought a 03a3 for 25 I was tapped out --They are really a fine example of machine work --
