m1 garands are still one of the best rifles you can get. They are so fucking accurate and the rounds they shoot the 30 is fucking heavy hitting round. Fuck the iron sights. Scope that bitch up and do some work!
that is a verry nice looking rifle. looks like the wood and the barrel were refinnished because everything looks very clean. even the bluing and carbon treatment on the barrel are still there(which usually come off after regular use/cleaning)
@paranoid19851 i dont no why its your dream to shoot a m1 garand.unless your a kid cuz its like a 700$ gun. once you get in to gun collecting your dream is usly the next step upp like class 3 wepons. i own a garand i got mine for 800$ off guns america so mine point is you are closer to your dream then your thinck you are.
@paranoid19851 it's amazing the recoil is light and it's fun to shoot i was lucky enough for one of the people that i think worked at the range just handed it to me and said shoot it 1 once or twice
@DocAuch22 the M1 Garand ejects its shells on the right side so if your left handed that hot brass goes right into your face I suggest thinking of a different WWII rifle like the M1 Carbine although the the ammunition is hard to find or find a rifle that you like that fits nice and hope it doesn't eject shells in your face
Does it matter whether you shoot lefty or righty when shooting a rifle? I am new to shooting and looking into buying a Garand but I've always wondered if the cartidge being ejected on the side where my face is matters. Please help
@DocAuch22 The M1 Garand, when properly greased and lubricated, will eject shells right and forward, at about the 1:30 to 2:00 O' clock position. The more fouled the mechanism is, the more it will eject shells further and further back from that position. So eventually, you might get empty shells in your face.
@paranoid19851 for which country? Germany, Russia, France, Britain, United States of Northern America, Canada, Japan, China, Korea, Philipenes, African States, India, A few Arabic countries... lol just kidding 冗談ですhaha. I know the US lol
My great grandfather was in WWII, and because of the special circumstances he went through, I'm making it my goal in life to own/fire one WWII standard issue American firearm, and one standard issue German firearm.
i just got done shooting mine today then after a while something broke and it doubled on me so i put it down and switched to shooting my old springfield
@paranoid19851 I got to hold on in school a few months before I graduated. A few guys from our JROTC class sat next to us backstage and they were part of the color guard so they had rifles. They were real because they were heavy, receiver and bolt were and overall design felt really sturdy but I was told the barrel was cemented shut for safety purposes.
@toughspitfire Wow, probably needs grease, or replacement parts. I overhauled mine when I got it from Mil-Surp, it was bone dry with no grease, and had corrosion and some rust on the magazine, spring, and gas cylinder, after a week working on it after work, I had a silky smooth pinpoint accurate M1, no jams since then. Well, I bought a bad batch of Greek ammo, but that wasnt the rifle's fault. But as long as I have good ammo in it, she's a dream to shoot, so smooth, accurate and VERY reliable.
@merbenzgill You really need to learn about the M1 rifle, feel free to read some books on it, learn how they work, go shoot one, maybe even buy one, interact with them, get involved with other Garand owners...I promise you'll learn ALOT about them. Once you do, you'll see how stupid everything you've said about it really was. You'll feel embarassed about how silly you made yourself look in front of everyone.
@merbenzgill I've read all the books there is about the rifle, what about it? Nothing you ever said was mentioned in ANY book. I didnt call you any names, I'm just telling you what everyone thinks of you.
Again...you can't prove ANYTHING, no books, no gun experts, no records, no veteran accounts, NOBODY says ANYTHING about what you say, you are the ONLY person on earth who think all that crap up, you aren't fooling anybody but yourself.
Lone wolf again you call names and think i should respond , are you kidding your self .Think again and then start over , you cant think of any thjing but calling me names so try you7r luck with some other that will respond to you now as thay say take a hike
@merbenzgill I dont expect you to respond, or to say anything more about the rifle because you have no proof of anything you say about it, if you DO respond, it wont be talking about the rifle anymore, You cant win an argument that we all know isnt true, so you'll just change the subject to random stuff, like name calling, or other miscellaneous stuff.
lone wolf .you ask alot and you give back nothing .you want my age ? you wnat my rank in the army ? you want my division , you want you want you want . your becomming to be a nut case ,if you8 dont like my answers move on
@merbenzgill Your not giving answers at all, just making stuff up about the rifle, and not giving proof of anything, you CANNOT back ANY of it up with facts. If you cant give solid cold hard facts as to what you're saying, then theres no truth behind any of it, and thus you're just posting mindless nonsense about the M1. Plus people mark you down all the time anyway because they know youre full of shit.
And if you WERE in the military you would IMMEDATELY tell me everything, but you dont.
@merbenzgill Because nothing you've ever said adds up, nothing about the rifle, nothing about yourself, NOTHING, thats why nobody takes you serious, they just call you a lying sack of shit and just give you all thumbs down, why? because you cant back up your theroys about the Garand, or about yourself, and you dont make sense at all about anything you say.
lone wolf you have a lot to learn the m1 was good in ww2 because of the jap rifle single shot abd the german k98 but if you count the dead because of a loose gas port you would relize its not so hot thats why the rifle stock has a place for the gas port screw thats is to day much over looked notice there are 2 hols in the m1 stock cleaning rod and yes the gas port key belive me i had a few in battle i rather the m1 carbinn any day
@merbenzgill Theres no reports of the gas cylinder screw getting ANYONE killed, nor has ANY veteran of WWII and Korea EVER said the gas cylinder screw was a problem, the ONLY person on earth that ever claimed it was a problem was you, and you have no proof of this.
The compartment in the stock is for the M1 cleaning tool, used for field stripping and cleaning. NOT the gas cylinder screw. One hole is for the disassembelly tool, the other hole is for a tube of grease and the cleaning tools.
@merbenzgill How could it become loose if its SCREWED IN? Once its screwed in, it WILL NOT COME LOOSE. I've never had mine come loose, nor has ANY OTHER person whose ever used a Garand.
And the Carbine isnt accurate nor has the range or power of the Garand, and it isnt even in the battle rifle catagory, the M1 was the BEST BATTLE RIFLE of WWII and Korea.
Were talking about FULL SIZE RIFLES, not Carbines, the M1 Garand was the BEST full size rifle of WWII and Korea
@merbenzgill Of all the hundreds of veterans of WWII and Korea I've talked too, and all the reports I've read and examined over the decades, there's NOTHING that says the gas cylinder screw was a problem in combat, there's no reports, no testimony, no accounts, noone has ever even heard of it, even the veterans and Garand experts never mentioned ANYTHING about it getting people killed, or it "leaking" for no reason.Theres absolutely 0% evidence to support your claim, and you have no poof.
@merbenzgill If the gas cylinder screw was such a "big problem" then why was there no reports of it being a defect?, why was there no complaints from the troops?, why was it never mentioned by ANY veterans? why were there no reports of soldiers being killed by it?, why do all the experts and veterans have nothing but great things to say about the Garand? Why did my father not have any problems with it when HE was in combat?, why has it never leaked when I shoot it
@merbenzgill If I counted the dead because of a lose gas cylinder screw, (which I have researched extensively, and found zero evidence of), I would come up with... 0 soldiers and 0 Marines being killed by it in combat, and 0 reports of it being a problem, and 0 veteran accounts or claims of it being a defect.
All your theroys are incorrect and have NO PROOF, you are the ONLY one out of literally MILLIONS of people who have used the Garand in battle who CLAIMS the gas screw was a problem.
@merbenzgill In fact it's pretty obvious you werent EVER in the military at all, you're "50 years old" so that means you would have been in service in the late 1960's early '70's of which the M1 was long since phased out of combat service, so you DIDNT use it in combat.
If you were in combat, what Division were you in?, what Platoon were you in?, what was your C.O.'s name and rank in-country, what was your unit's motto, where did you train at? where did you fight at?
lone wolf.by now i belive you think the m1 was tops .Its not .you have to consider that sand would jam the receiver also mud .any dirt .thats why the m1 had to be clean the gi were taught in basic to clean it ,now you know why and the gas port you dont like to here had to be tight maske no bones on that the bolt works on gas and a loose gas port was not go for retriveing the receiver back i told you that a 1000 times i had one in battle if you can belive that
@merbenzgill All rifles jam if not cleaned, EVERYONE knows that, The M1 works well with a little sand, or mud/dirt in the action, but needs to be cleaned every once in a while. Soldiers in EVERY military are taught to always clean their rifles after combat. The M1 is V-E-R-Y reliable in poor conditions, and with little mantanance, which is why the M1 has such a good reputation of reliability.
@merbenzgill If the gas screw i loose SCREW IT IN!!!!!!! it will NOT come loose if it's been LOCKED IN POSITION.
You must have been issued a defective rifle if you had that problem, because no other M1 has a problem with their gas screws, once you screw it in, it's pretty much welded in for good, it takes ALOT of work to get it out. I'd trust my life with that rifle anyday, just like millions of troops around the world did, they swear by that rifle, my children swear by it, and so do I.
@naedanger123 Ignore him, he's a phony, he says he's 50, yet the M1 has been out of service for LONGER than 50 years, how could he have used it in battle if it was retired before he was even born?, plus everything he said didnt make sense at all, and when asked to provide proof of what he said, he just ran away.
@paranoid19851 You'll love it when you do, you'll want to get one so bad for yourself, It was that way for me, I became obsessed with that rifle, all the other weapons I fired before that (M1 Carbine, M2 Carbine, K98, Arisaka, Mosin Nagant, SKS) none of them matched up to the Garand, it so outperformed them, and was so reliable, dependable, accurate, silky smooth and easy to shoot. I knew exactly what those old vets were saying, and why they worshiped their M1s so much, it is so awesome.
lone wolf the m1 had many clips from 5 rounds to 20 and the bolt action was a loose fit for jungle fighting in a swamp the m1 was not look close at the m1 fit and the carbine it s a lot looser for just that to prevent a jam your not thinking if you did you would know im right why i had both
@merbenzgill The M1 Carbine had a 15 round detachable box magazine, and the M2 Carbine had a 30 round detachable box magazine.
But thats not the subject, the subject is that the M1 is better than everyone elses bolt action rifles in WWII. The M1 was better in every way than bolt action rifles in battle.
@paranoid19851 Exactly, very well put, I love the Garand to death, I shoot it every chance I get, my grandfather taught me how to shoot it, he loved it too when he was in the service, that rifle became his guardian angel, he always said he trusted no other weapon more than his trusty M1, he had that rifle from 1942-1945, and swore by it.
Of all the veterans I've talked to, from Vietnam, WWII, Modern conflicts, none have praised their rifles highly as WWII vets did with their Garand rifles.
@paranoid19851 That show has been heavily criticized for its technical inaccuracies on a number of the weapons listed, my grandfather and his buddies never heard of that trick, they never even thought the ping as a problem, theres just so much else to worry about in combat, that a small meaningless ping isnt going to make the enemy care, since 1 ping doesnt mean the whole platoon is simultaniously out off ammo.It may have happened once, but actually listing it as a fault to the M1? not correct.
last item you dont know on the m1 rifle .its was not good in mud /sand or dirt why it jamed the m1 carbine was good in mud sand or just pina dirt now take your pick of rifles in a fight and of course the m1 rifle only held 8 rounds got it 8 rounds the carbine wasd botton fed 10 rounds and more depending on your clip enough said now go back to bed
@merbenzgill The American M1 Carbine carried 15 rounds in U.S. military service, not 10, and it's called a "magazine" not a "clip", learn what the difference is next time. And yes, the Carbine jamed occasionally in mud and dirt, it has the same bolt and extraction system as the M1, that's why their bolt assembly looks so similar.
last time lone wolf .get smart on the m1 shoot one and then read up on the m1 or talk to some one who was in the war with it , you may like to think 8 rounds dont make it over the m1 carbine that is botton feed 10 rounds in a tape on clip meaning 20 rounds at your finger tip .and the gas port is critical to the action of the rifle make no bones on it i had one you did not
@merbenzgill Yes, I've owned and have operated my M-1 for over 19 years, and am part of a number of Garand enthusiest organizations, aswell as the CMP, and NRA, and have dozens of friends whom I collect and shoot with, with our M-1s.
The M1 was the top battle rifle of WWII, it had 8 rounds and was semi-automatic, while everyone else had outdated 5 round bolt action rifles, the M1 was much faster, at loading, unloading, and reloading, outshot everyone else, was cheap to mass produce...
@merbenzgill ...it was very reliable, extremely accurate, very simple to maintian, superior sights, the finest training in the world to go with it, and everyone was issued with one.
Were comparing the service rifles of theworld's nations in WWII, not their Carbines, yes detachable box magazines are better for sustained fire, that's why John Garand invented the M14, but in WWII, we're comparing the M1 to service rifles of other countries, in which, the M1 was superior.
GOD BLESS THE M-1 GARAND! finest semi automatic battle rifle of all time!!! Flawless in its day, Legendary in today's world! We Salute you John Garand, for you're sheer genious when creating this magnificant rifle. Amen.
"The Greatest Battle implement ever Devised" - Gen. George Smith Patton Jr.
lone wolf .The star key is used to tighten the gas port screw that is not i say not to lesson the gas and you never leave the screw loose so you never shot one and wes never in the army are you would know that the gas port screw on the m1 IS AGAIN ALLWAYS TIGHT BECAUSE IF ITS NOT THE RECOIL WILL NOT BE THERE TO MOVE BREACH BAK TO LOAD ANOTHER CARTRAGE N HAVEING SAID THAT GO BACK TO SLEEP YOUR NUT CASE TRYING TO LOOK SMART
@merbenzgill Troll, you dont know shit about it, you keep the screw loosened by 1 full twist when shooting high grain ammunition, between 165-180 grains. And when shooting lower grain ammunition between 145-165 grains, you keep the gas screw tightened fully, so that all of the gas pressure is used in cycling rounds
Recoil has nothing to do with cycling rounds, the M-1 isnt recoil operated, it's gas operated (you just learned something, let's see how you react to it...)
@merbenzgill And I'm not trying to look smart, I'm just correcting someone who is wrong. That's what I do, I see a wrong, and make it right, so that other people dont see your troll posts and get the wrong idea (not that anyone WOULD believe you anyways, since your troll posts make absolutely no technical sence)
@paranoid19851 Not really, Germans know a single ping means nothing, plus you cant hear them outside of 20 feet, or, if on grass or soft surfaces, within 10 feet.
The ping trick, is just a myth blown way out of proportion.
Damn :O about makes me regret getting mah M14.....which in and of itself is one sweet ass rifle. But i LOVE that ping after the last round. And theres SO much history in that rifle.
the m1 carbine up close was the best to have .Not the m1 with the limited 8 rouns clip as you know the m1 was top load and the m1 carbine botton load you could fight all day whith this and have not a problem and what a nice wepon but lost in time to better wepons
@meany1023 They had 15 rounds, and did have a few jaming issues, but if properly maintained, was a solid and powerful personal defence/close quarters weapon.
@meany1023 WRONG AGAIN .THE M1 CARBINE WAS BOTTON FED WITH ANY MAG LOAD FIT AS MUCH AS YOU WANT AS LONG AS YOU HAD THE CLIP NOTICE HOW DUMMYS ALLWAYS END WITH NAME CALLING
in reguards to the m1 grand ,you have to look at the stock and you find 2 holes guess wghat one hole is for ?the gas port KEY yes the key that tightens the GASPORT SCREW that permits the gas action receiver to function ok now think of a battle and your gas port leaks YOUR DEAD ,MOST M1 HAVE NO KEYS IN THEM WHY THE GI CARRIED THEM IN THERE POCKET END OF STORY
@merbenzgill LMAO, this mentally disabled troll again? Obviously you dont know anything about the M-1. It's called the "gas piston screw", this devise is used to adjust the gas pressure being cycled through the weapon, the higher grain bullets you're shooting, the looser you keep the gas screw, (to allow some gas to escape as to avoid damaging the cylinder) the lower grain bullets, the tighter you keep the screw, (to make sure all the gas is used in the lower grain rounds).
@merbenzgill If you took the gas cylinder screw out like you said, you could only shoot 1 shot, the gas would just blow harmlessly out of the gas cylinder after you shot a round because the screw is gone, and thus, no gas would cycle in the next round.
The gas cylinder is SUPPOSED to leak, you unscrew the gas cylinder screw slightly, and let some of the gas pressure leak out a little to account for the high grain ammo you are using, this way you avoid damaging the gas cylinder.
@LoneWolf051 your both right and you are both wrong in a sense. yes you can loosen the nut when only shooting in competition or matches. when in battle it stays tight so it does not fall out plus there would be no need to loosen it because all military manufacture was ball m-2 150 grain however I have seen some 175's but nothing higher used by military.
@bad74maverick Exactly, combat ammo is standard 150-165 grain FMJ, therefore you have the gas piston screw fully tightened, but this merbenzgill clown is claiming the gas pistol screws constantly "fell out" and soldiers died all the time because of it! Clearly he has no idea what he's talking about..
Now you and me, we both know the gas piston screws dont just "fall out" they have to be forcebly unscrewed and removed, which takes some considerble effort, aswell as tools to do so.
@LoneWolf051 Yeah i know I never once have heard of that being a problem. No one on earth that I can think of as a matter of fact who carried one in battle ever complained of that problem or any problem other than the one complaint from the Belgium winter was the action froze. But even then the soldiers said they just pissed on the action and they were ready to go again.
most of you that fired a m1 grand think its tops ,Its not the star key in the stock should tell you why the gas port leaked thats the gas that made the rifle semi auto /now take that in to battlel and you foir got to tighten that star gas port and your dead look to day at the m1 rifle and look how many still have the key in the styock ? NONE why the GI carried it in his pocket he had it on him all the time i know i did
@merbenzgill wow i own 5 m1 Garands (international Harvester is my favorite one) and I have put about 950-1000 rounds in A DAY through anyone of mine and the gas port never leaked. so I put your theory to the test with my H&R. i unscrewed the gas port stop a little and holy crap 120 rounds and it still functioned without FAIL. I wonder if you have ever shot one at all? Anyway you are completely wrong. My gandfather said he never encountered the problem that you are talking about either.
@bad74maverick Yep, merbenzgill knows the M-1 was pretty much flawless, he's just either really stupid, or trolling. But its obvious to us Garand owners that everything he's ever said, is completely false......He can hardly even speak English!
@checoto156 Sorry for my Captain Obvious answer. I think that most cameras cannot pick up a sound as loud as a firearm discharge, so sometimes a gunshot sounds somewhat muted.

@merbenzgill You really need to learn about the M1 rifle, feel free to read some books on it, learn how they work, go shoot one, maybe even buy one, interact with them, get involved with other Garand owners...I promise you'll learn ALOT about them. Once you do, you'll see how stupid everything you've said about it really was. You'll feel embarassed about how silly you made yourself look in front of everyone.

@merbenzgill I've read all the books there is about the rifle, what about it? Nothing you ever said was mentioned in ANY book. I didnt call you any names, I'm just telling you what everyone thinks of you.
Again...you can't prove ANYTHING, no books, no gun experts, no records, no veteran accounts, NOBODY says ANYTHING about what you say, you are the ONLY person on earth who think all that crap up, you aren't fooling anybody but yourself.

@merbenzgill I dont expect you to respond, or to say anything more about the rifle because you have no proof of anything you say about it, if you DO respond, it wont be talking about the rifle anymore, You cant win an argument that we all know isnt true, so you'll just change the subject to random stuff, like name calling, or other miscellaneous stuff.

@merbenzgill Your not giving answers at all, just making stuff up about the rifle, and not giving proof of anything, you CANNOT back ANY of it up with facts. If you cant give solid cold hard facts as to what you're saying, then theres no truth behind any of it, and thus you're just posting mindless nonsense about the M1. Plus people mark you down all the time anyway because they know youre full of shit.
And if you WERE in the military you would IMMEDATELY tell me everything, but you dont.

@merbenzgill Because nothing you've ever said adds up, nothing about the rifle, nothing about yourself, NOTHING, thats why nobody takes you serious, they just call you a lying sack of shit and just give you all thumbs down, why? because you cant back up your theroys about the Garand, or about yourself, and you dont make sense at all about anything you say.
LoneWolf051 1 year ago
lone wolf you have a lot to learn the m1 was good in ww2 because of the jap rifle single shot abd the german k98 but if you count the dead because of a loose gas port you would relize its not so hot thats why the rifle stock has a place for the gas port screw thats is to day much over looked notice there are 2 hols in the m1 stock cleaning rod and yes the gas port key belive me i had a few in battle i rather the m1 carbinn any day
merbenzgill 1 year ago
@merbenzgill Theres no reports of the gas cylinder screw getting ANYONE killed, nor has ANY veteran of WWII and Korea EVER said the gas cylinder screw was a problem, the ONLY person on earth that ever claimed it was a problem was you, and you have no proof of this.
The compartment in the stock is for the M1 cleaning tool, used for field stripping and cleaning. NOT the gas cylinder screw. One hole is for the disassembelly tool, the other hole is for a tube of grease and the cleaning tools.
LoneWolf051 1 year ago
@merbenzgill How could it become loose if its SCREWED IN? Once its screwed in, it WILL NOT COME LOOSE. I've never had mine come loose, nor has ANY OTHER person whose ever used a Garand.
And the Carbine isnt accurate nor has the range or power of the Garand, and it isnt even in the battle rifle catagory, the M1 was the BEST BATTLE RIFLE of WWII and Korea.
Were talking about FULL SIZE RIFLES, not Carbines, the M1 Garand was the BEST full size rifle of WWII and Korea
LoneWolf051 1 year ago
@merbenzgill Of all the hundreds of veterans of WWII and Korea I've talked too, and all the reports I've read and examined over the decades, there's NOTHING that says the gas cylinder screw was a problem in combat, there's no reports, no testimony, no accounts, noone has ever even heard of it, even the veterans and Garand experts never mentioned ANYTHING about it getting people killed, or it "leaking" for no reason.Theres absolutely 0% evidence to support your claim, and you have no poof.

@LoneWolf051 Quite correct. The M1 Garand is reliable and trustworthy. A masterpiece of a gun. And I'm not even Canadian! :)

@merbenzgill If the gas cylinder screw was such a "big problem" then why was there no reports of it being a defect?, why was there no complaints from the troops?, why was it never mentioned by ANY veterans? why were there no reports of soldiers being killed by it?, why do all the experts and veterans have nothing but great things to say about the Garand? Why did my father not have any problems with it when HE was in combat?, why has it never leaked when I shoot it
.......You have no proof
LoneWolf051 1 year ago
@merbenzgill If I counted the dead because of a lose gas cylinder screw, (which I have researched extensively, and found zero evidence of), I would come up with... 0 soldiers and 0 Marines being killed by it in combat, and 0 reports of it being a problem, and 0 veteran accounts or claims of it being a defect.
All your theroys are incorrect and have NO PROOF, you are the ONLY one out of literally MILLIONS of people who have used the Garand in battle who CLAIMS the gas screw was a problem.
LoneWolf051 1 year ago
@merbenzgill In fact it's pretty obvious you werent EVER in the military at all, you're "50 years old" so that means you would have been in service in the late 1960's early '70's of which the M1 was long since phased out of combat service, so you DIDNT use it in combat.
If you were in combat, what Division were you in?, what Platoon were you in?, what was your C.O.'s name and rank in-country, what was your unit's motto, where did you train at? where did you fight at?
LoneWolf051 1 year ago
lone wolf.by now i belive you think the m1 was tops .Its not .you have to consider that sand would jam the receiver also mud .any dirt .thats why the m1 had to be clean the gi were taught in basic to clean it ,now you know why and the gas port you dont like to here had to be tight maske no bones on that the bolt works on gas and a loose gas port was not go for retriveing the receiver back i told you that a 1000 times i had one in battle if you can belive that
merbenzgill 1 year ago
@merbenzgill All rifles jam if not cleaned, EVERYONE knows that, The M1 works well with a little sand, or mud/dirt in the action, but needs to be cleaned every once in a while. Soldiers in EVERY military are taught to always clean their rifles after combat. The M1 is V-E-R-Y reliable in poor conditions, and with little mantanance, which is why the M1 has such a good reputation of reliability.
LoneWolf051 1 year ago
@merbenzgill If the gas screw i loose SCREW IT IN!!!!!!! it will NOT come loose if it's been LOCKED IN POSITION.
You must have been issued a defective rifle if you had that problem, because no other M1 has a problem with their gas screws, once you screw it in, it's pretty much welded in for good, it takes ALOT of work to get it out. I'd trust my life with that rifle anyday, just like millions of troops around the world did, they swear by that rifle, my children swear by it, and so do I.

@merbenzgill So, if you had an M1 Garand in battle, are you like, what, 80-90 odd?
naedanger123 1 year ago
@naedanger123 Ignore him, he's a phony, he says he's 50, yet the M1 has been out of service for LONGER than 50 years, how could he have used it in battle if it was retired before he was even born?, plus everything he said didnt make sense at all, and when asked to provide proof of what he said, he just ran away.
LoneWolf051 1 year ago
@paranoid19851 You'll love it when you do, you'll want to get one so bad for yourself, It was that way for me, I became obsessed with that rifle, all the other weapons I fired before that (M1 Carbine, M2 Carbine, K98, Arisaka, Mosin Nagant, SKS) none of them matched up to the Garand, it so outperformed them, and was so reliable, dependable, accurate, silky smooth and easy to shoot. I knew exactly what those old vets were saying, and why they worshiped their M1s so much, it is so awesome.
LoneWolf051 1 year ago
lone wolf the m1 had many clips from 5 rounds to 20 and the bolt action was a loose fit for jungle fighting in a swamp the m1 was not look close at the m1 fit and the carbine it s a lot looser for just that to prevent a jam your not thinking if you did you would know im right why i had both
merbenzgill 1 year ago
@merbenzgill The M1 Carbine had a 15 round detachable box magazine, and the M2 Carbine had a 30 round detachable box magazine.
But thats not the subject, the subject is that the M1 is better than everyone elses bolt action rifles in WWII. The M1 was better in every way than bolt action rifles in battle.
LoneWolf051 1 year ago
@paranoid19851 Exactly, very well put, I love the Garand to death, I shoot it every chance I get, my grandfather taught me how to shoot it, he loved it too when he was in the service, that rifle became his guardian angel, he always said he trusted no other weapon more than his trusty M1, he had that rifle from 1942-1945, and swore by it.
Of all the veterans I've talked to, from Vietnam, WWII, Modern conflicts, none have praised their rifles highly as WWII vets did with their Garand rifles.
LoneWolf051 1 year ago
@paranoid19851 That show has been heavily criticized for its technical inaccuracies on a number of the weapons listed, my grandfather and his buddies never heard of that trick, they never even thought the ping as a problem, theres just so much else to worry about in combat, that a small meaningless ping isnt going to make the enemy care, since 1 ping doesnt mean the whole platoon is simultaniously out off ammo.It may have happened once, but actually listing it as a fault to the M1? not correct.
LoneWolf051 1 year ago
last item you dont know on the m1 rifle .its was not good in mud /sand or dirt why it jamed the m1 carbine was good in mud sand or just pina dirt now take your pick of rifles in a fight and of course the m1 rifle only held 8 rounds got it 8 rounds the carbine wasd botton fed 10 rounds and more depending on your clip enough said now go back to bed
merbenzgill 1 year ago
@merbenzgill The American M1 Carbine carried 15 rounds in U.S. military service, not 10, and it's called a "magazine" not a "clip", learn what the difference is next time. And yes, the Carbine jamed occasionally in mud and dirt, it has the same bolt and extraction system as the M1, that's why their bolt assembly looks so similar.
LoneWolf051 1 year ago
last time lone wolf .get smart on the m1 shoot one and then read up on the m1 or talk to some one who was in the war with it , you may like to think 8 rounds dont make it over the m1 carbine that is botton feed 10 rounds in a tape on clip meaning 20 rounds at your finger tip .and the gas port is critical to the action of the rifle make no bones on it i had one you did not

@merbenzgill Yes, I've owned and have operated my M-1 for over 19 years, and am part of a number of Garand enthusiest organizations, aswell as the CMP, and NRA, and have dozens of friends whom I collect and shoot with, with our M-1s.
The M1 was the top battle rifle of WWII, it had 8 rounds and was semi-automatic, while everyone else had outdated 5 round bolt action rifles, the M1 was much faster, at loading, unloading, and reloading, outshot everyone else, was cheap to mass produce...
LoneWolf051 1 year ago
@merbenzgill ...it was very reliable, extremely accurate, very simple to maintian, superior sights, the finest training in the world to go with it, and everyone was issued with one.
Were comparing the service rifles of theworld's nations in WWII, not their Carbines, yes detachable box magazines are better for sustained fire, that's why John Garand invented the M14, but in WWII, we're comparing the M1 to service rifles of other countries, in which, the M1 was superior.

lone wolf .The star key is used to tighten the gas port screw that is not i say not to lesson the gas and you never leave the screw loose so you never shot one and wes never in the army are you would know that the gas port screw on the m1 IS AGAIN ALLWAYS TIGHT BECAUSE IF ITS NOT THE RECOIL WILL NOT BE THERE TO MOVE BREACH BAK TO LOAD ANOTHER CARTRAGE N HAVEING SAID THAT GO BACK TO SLEEP YOUR NUT CASE TRYING TO LOOK SMART
merbenzgill 1 year ago
@merbenzgill Troll, you dont know shit about it, you keep the screw loosened by 1 full twist when shooting high grain ammunition, between 165-180 grains. And when shooting lower grain ammunition between 145-165 grains, you keep the gas screw tightened fully, so that all of the gas pressure is used in cycling rounds
Recoil has nothing to do with cycling rounds, the M-1 isnt recoil operated, it's gas operated (you just learned something, let's see how you react to it...)

merbenzgill 1 year ago
@merbenzgill LMAO, this mentally disabled troll again? Obviously you dont know anything about the M-1. It's called the "gas piston screw", this devise is used to adjust the gas pressure being cycled through the weapon, the higher grain bullets you're shooting, the looser you keep the gas screw, (to allow some gas to escape as to avoid damaging the cylinder) the lower grain bullets, the tighter you keep the screw, (to make sure all the gas is used in the lower grain rounds).
LoneWolf051 1 year ago
@merbenzgill If you took the gas cylinder screw out like you said, you could only shoot 1 shot, the gas would just blow harmlessly out of the gas cylinder after you shot a round because the screw is gone, and thus, no gas would cycle in the next round.
The gas cylinder is SUPPOSED to leak, you unscrew the gas cylinder screw slightly, and let some of the gas pressure leak out a little to account for the high grain ammo you are using, this way you avoid damaging the gas cylinder.
LoneWolf051 1 year ago
@LoneWolf051 your both right and you are both wrong in a sense. yes you can loosen the nut when only shooting in competition or matches. when in battle it stays tight so it does not fall out plus there would be no need to loosen it because all military manufacture was ball m-2 150 grain however I have seen some 175's but nothing higher used by military.
bad74maverick 1 year ago
@bad74maverick Exactly, combat ammo is standard 150-165 grain FMJ, therefore you have the gas piston screw fully tightened, but this merbenzgill clown is claiming the gas pistol screws constantly "fell out" and soldiers died all the time because of it! Clearly he has no idea what he's talking about..
Now you and me, we both know the gas piston screws dont just "fall out" they have to be forcebly unscrewed and removed, which takes some considerble effort, aswell as tools to do so.
LoneWolf051 1 year ago
@LoneWolf051 Yeah i know I never once have heard of that being a problem. No one on earth that I can think of as a matter of fact who carried one in battle ever complained of that problem or any problem other than the one complaint from the Belgium winter was the action froze. But even then the soldiers said they just pissed on the action and they were ready to go again.

@merbenzgill wow i own 5 m1 Garands (international Harvester is my favorite one) and I have put about 950-1000 rounds in A DAY through anyone of mine and the gas port never leaked. so I put your theory to the test with my H&R. i unscrewed the gas port stop a little and holy crap 120 rounds and it still functioned without FAIL. I wonder if you have ever shot one at all? Anyway you are completely wrong. My gandfather said he never encountered the problem that you are talking about either.
