M1 Rifle Cycling Operation and Recoil Control

[getyershells]

How about some more video's on the M1 Garand?  Maybe talking about cleaning and maintenance. Showing the proper grease points.

Is the bolt supposed to unlock once you put the clip it? I have to put the clip in, pull it back an inch to unlock the bolt and then smack the op rod forward.

[SuperTelecom]

Hahaha It sounds like its shooting springs. Good video.

Is it weird if you get a boner when handling/shooting an m1 garand? Just wondering.

[FletchBZMMT]

Hmm, to the comments below about the sling isn't used for standing... What? That ain't no AR-15, M-16, or M4 that rifle fires a 30 caliber 30.06 round. It HAS recoil, and yes the sling does help even when standing, especially with rapid fire and reacquiring your target(s)... K? :-)

I credit the M1 for winning WW2 in the hands of the American Troops.

The Nazis used bolt action rifles, great guns but no where near the amount of rds down range.

The difference became a force multiplier for the allies.

Ping! I still remember stories my G'pa told me about the dreaded ping. Great at distance, kinda sucked at night, trenches etc... Everyone including the enemy knew what the ping! meant. Great rifle though, would love to have one!

[DarthVapur]

@Ltb0b Yep ping!! Awesome

[ext456]

What kind of camera do you use? Maybe think about getting some kind of wind sock? :-)

[txwingnut62]

Love the "PING"!

[FrontCortex]

Garand Music!

[xSnuffedx]

Miller, I just want to come up to those blocky Northern states as an excuse to lend you my video camera, it's just not right to not clearly hear that ping.

[MavHunter20XX]

So...how many wouldn't mind if this was their service instead of their M-16/M4?

[dp665]

dont mean a thing if it aint got that ping.

[guns4good]

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang--PING!!!

I <3 this rifle!

[MadBadVoodo]

★★★★★

[jmmurdy]

nice

[Natacall]

Dat_ping.

[fixdeluxe1]

If you have a strong arm and shoulder,the recoil of the 30-06 is negligible.

[Grunt922]

my genitals, that rifle, 10 minutes. 'nuff said. ;) lovez me the m1.

[Ninety9Soulz]

The PING is the answer to the universe

[MavHunter20XX]

@Ninety9Soulz Reload and keep shooting?

[henrycems]

Oh the ping of freedom. thanks

[darthcollosus]

dude im thinking about getting one from the cmp also how accurate would you say the service model you got is?

[Ltb0b]

80% watched for the ping <3 good vid

[z3160200]

I love that ping noise.

[EvilxMerlin]

You have the proper sling on there, use it. It will help the recoil and the return to target even faster and easier.

[millerusaf]

@EvilxMerlin Yep. Using a hasty sling does make a huge difference.

[EvilxMerlin]

@millerusaf

I was honestly shocked the first time I used my service sling properly. Now I know why the proper sling use is such a big deal with CMP matches. I still refuse to wear the silly glove though.

[danthman114]

@EvilxMerlin the sling does help alot but they dont use the sling in the standing position...

[EvilxMerlin]

@danthman114

For CMP matches, no, but it can EASILY be used when shooting like this.

[mathew1929]
