  1. More than the metallurgy, I think the problem was the hurry to press it into service. The M1 Garand was developed for more than ten years. This, for maybe one year. Having a little more time they could have ironed out the problems. IE, to put a dust cover on that opening in the receiver was not really complicate. But, in 1917, the priority was to manufacture a lot of rifles in the shortest time possible.
