The camo strips on his helmet are called Helmet scrim or burlap ,with the m1 garand anyone can buy it , it does not fire blanks nor anything , it can only dry fire , it can not take a clip but it's great for the younger reenactors out there . Great video
thanks for this, i was gonna buy a replica garand for £250, the one you showed looks perfect! where did u get the A straps for you're m1 helmet? i have an m1 helmet but cant find any a straps to attach my chin strap :( thanks!
a real one's stock is a little bit differend and if you pull back the slide the (i dont know what to call it :{ ) twists. but it's a realy nice replica
lol yeah im thinking exactly the same thing. everyones gonna go crazy and now all USMC stuff is gonna like double in price. but im staying airborne!!!
oh yeah, of course no live firing, i just mean to have it function exactly like a real one, action wise. You wouldnt be able to fire anything out of that metal, way too dangerous
Yeah i reckon you could still do some modding, you could mill out the clip ejector and fit a real one, even if it wont function, you'd still have the look. Drill out the chamber and see what real parts would fit onto the receiver etc. as is though, its a pretty good job like you said nice rep
@falloutdude222 Sorry i had to butt in. But most WW2 replica guns are chambered to not fire real live ammo. No matter how much you mod it, change it or mess with it, it cannot fire real live ammo.
@airborne1940 yeah of course i know that lol, what i meant is you could make it 'function' like a real one, with the way the action and clip ejector etc works. Even if you could convert it to fire real ammo, you wouldnt because they are made out of garbage metal and would be blown to bits lol
@airborne1940 because it doesnt, exactly. The bolt action is different, the lock back is different, the clip ejector doesnt work etc. All i'm saying is, i reckon you could modify it heavily to make the action etc EXACTLY like a real one ;)
man that m1 aint bad for a denix, i reckon you could pull it apart and fiddle with it and change a few things to get it to act like a real one, but it's not bad
hey u should get sum steel wool and rub the metal down on ur garand to make it looked used,and stain the wood too it would look better and not like a toy,and if u get a bayonet for it,u have a lot of work to do,trust me i have one ok,u need a nail file and sand paper,the bayonet does not fit on the gun,u need to do alot of work to the bayonet lug(make it smaller).
so u screw a hole inside the liner but do the a frames already have holes in them i have to buy them first though so. sorry could sorta giv a little more detailed way to do it sorry.
Sorry my fault lol.... the A-frames already have holes in them and wen u buy them they come wif the notch things to go through them and u need to screw holes in the liner soo the notches can fit through it aswell :)
Okay well, the only Garand I can find on the site is 1 350,00 € So..... I'm a little confused. Help please.
