Screw modern guns I have no idea why we passed this it's an all around great gun I have been a lover since I'm 6 when I first saw one in action in a movie the damn thing spells BAD ASS MOTHERFUCKERY
also on the part about the ping that isnt always true i would like to see u hear that when machine guns are goin off and tanks are rollin' and things like that.
@ArmyRanger42 Your probably right, The Vet that was telling me the story was referring to what I would describe as hedgerow engagements, Ie. everybody knew where the other guy's were at. Everybody was just sitting around waiting for someone to stick there head up.
in order to date a particular part. The M-1 only has one SerNo. So, and in conclusion, there are listings published that post the revision numbers, and if you care to do so, you can match the SerNo on the receiver with the revision number. The numbers run from dash one (-1) to approx dash thirteen -13. And, get that sling installed correctly! The clip goes on the rear swivel, and the sling is threaded through the front swivel. Best, Joe from Gunbroker forums!
@geeayevette Thanks fro clearing that up Joe, It had been several years since I had read and the exact details eluded me. Each revision is associated with a time frame if I remember correctly (ie. XXXXXXX-1 mar.- may 1942) correct isn't that correct. And thanks about the Sling, I got it as a bunch of part with no op's manual. Took about 2 hours to figure it out, LOL
Part two..they are Drawing Numbers! All bolts will have the same number. All Trigger housings will have the same number. All operating rods, the same number, no matter when it was made. The only way to date a particular part is the REVISION NUMBER..the number after the dash symbol. Post war drawing numbers will have a '65' prefix ahead of the drawing number. Other numbers are heat-lot numbers, and have no bearing on the date of manufacture. So, look for the revision numbers, See part three..
A few items that need to be cleared up. M-1 thumb: As long as you keep downward pressure on the clip, the bolt will not go forward of its own accord. Only when you release the thumb's pressure. It's those that are unsure of just when the bolt will unlock that get 'caught'. Keep downward pressure on the thumb, and the bolt will not bite you!
Now, the parts. All bolts (whether Springfield, HRA, IHC, or Winchester will all have the same numbers (for the particular part)..as they are not SerNo's.
@leesherman100 That only works for the Receiver, All the other parts have their own unique serial number. To insure a numbers correct rifle you need to check each assembly and then cross reference them to the receiver. Each assembly should be + - 3 months to be numbers correct, unless you have documentation saying otherwise. The CMP will supply a build sheet with each assembly serial number that is included in each rifle it sends out. Anything else was built by Bubba, and the Value tanks.
@xxuncexx When you push the clip into the receiver thee is noting to stop the bolt from slamming forward and if your thumb is in the way you get Garand thumb. it hurts really bad
Great start to the video and I will approve it immediately. I am in a major hurry so I will watch it in its entirety as soon as tomorrow but I will approve it tonight. I thank you for the video response and welcome them. I will pm you after I am able to watch the whole video. I watched enough to know its going to be great. Thanks. again.

@doctruptwn did you make sure the bolt was locked fully to the rear?
xxuncexx 9 months ago
@xxuncexx Yes, The WW II era Garands do not have a bolt hold open feature, When you push the clip in the bolt comes forward.

I thought just bringing them flowers and complimenting their shoes & hair would be enough to date them. I know, that's lame.
Great info, brother. I was just reading an article in the NRA's American Rifleman about dating the M1.
