This sounds like an interesting event and a good way to spend what is looking like a rainy Saturday.

"In 1936, the United States Army enlisted the help of the Springfield Armory's Garand M1 rifle - a decision that would go on to help win World War II.


To commemorate the 80th anniversary of the rifle's production, the Springfield Armory Alliance will be sponsoring a virtual tour of the M-1 rifle's production at the Springfield Armory on Saturday, 8:30 a.m. to noon.


Admission to the event is $15 for the general public and free for Springfield Armory Alliance members, Smith & Wesson employees and Smith & Wesson Collectors Association members.


Appearing at the event will be researcher and author Bruce Canfield, author of "The M1 Garand Rifle" and other titles chronicling U.S. military weapons throughout history, leading a discussion about the design and adoption of the M1 Rifle during World War II."
