Springfield Armory M1 Garand Cont...

[gbmcy]

I have 2 Garands.  I purchased both of them from the CMP. My first is a '43 SA and the second is a '55 HRA. They do a real nice job on pumpkins.

[lskw1]

@gbmcy lol yes they do

[fhsreelfilms]

Thanks for sharing! What a beautiful rifle! I'm saving up for one and I can't wait.

[lskw1]

@fhsreelfilms you will love it.. thanks for watching

[drbackjack]

Your cat stares at walls and jumps on stuff. Great looking M1. Defiantly one of the sexiest rifles out there.

[lskw1]

@drbackjack yea i told the cat if he looks at another wall he will be in kitty timeout, thank you sir for watching

[brmcelwee]

No wonder you have to make 3 videos of 1 rifle. YOU TALK WAAAAY TOO MUCH.

[lskw1]

@brmcelwee but yet your dumb ass watched it..lol cya loser

[LMHS63]

I wish you'd treat your cat as well as your Garand...You cantell a lot about man in how he treats his pets...

[lskw1]

@LMHS63 so when your cats are done scrapping kitty litter over there fresh poop you allow them to jump up on the table, you can tell alot about a pig too

[wafflecushioned]

That was funny when you pulled your cat off the chair at 3:08

[frankward67]

Great video's got my first Garand a few days ago, I agree with everything you said. Awesome gun and it is cool to know that you are holding the gun that was so important to the US during WW2

[lskw1]

@frankward67 gotta get a vid up for it man!!!... I bought the bayonette later down the road for this and it makes the gun look awesome...just feels good while holding it

[Bandanabandito1]

This video was so informative, Why only 3000 views?

[lskw1]

@Bandanabandito1 not sure.. for a select crowd i guess.. thanks for watchin !!

[BlackSabbath1204]

lol at 5:22 it sounded like you were gonna say crap not craftsman ship. nice vid. i just ordered an m1 through CMP

[lskw1]

@BlackSabbath1204 haha i get tongue tied sometimes...lol..cool man your gonna like it

[cloneterooper]

I love the M1 Garands classic design I think its one of the best firearms ever built.

and if you like that gun you should check out the M14 Mod 0 Enhanced

[Master7770]

Standard M1 Garand sights are suppose to be 1MOA per click at 100 yards.

[AllTheSame711]

for the sights does he mean 100 yards each click?

[Sigfofosauer]

What a about the trigger pull? How many pounds are need it to make it fire?

[lskw1]

@Sigfofosauer about 5 1/2 to 7 1/2

[MUGSHOT1120]

i would have bought one of the low serial numbered garands and then bought one that i could fire and hang the weatherd one on the wall

[nodeal117]

Are you sure abut the 10 clicks = 100 yd zero? I don't have an M1, but I just watched the old WW2 Garand training film and it says 10 clicks = a 200 yd zero.

[lskw1]

@nodeal117 mine is 10 clicks 100 yd zero..usually 1-2 more clicks will give you 200.. every rifle vary's

[shnizzlebizzle4rizzl]

that thing is so fucking awesome!

[lskw1]

@shnizzlebizzle4rizzl thanks man.. i love it

[alexissalgado1]

[lskw1]

[festwhore2]

[pinar6ad]

[PRao700]

I really wanna shoot one of these. Never shot a rifle other than an AR-15.

[lskw1]

@PRao700 the ar is a very fun and easy rifle to shoot.. however there's something about this rifle I can shoot it till my sholder falls off than i should switch to my weak side and keep shooting.. it is a sure pleasure to fire..

[gfr28D]

awesome video ..im looking for the same kinda of garand ...looks good and fires good!

[xXxAshersxXx]

"Almost a dream to hold" as soon as you said that I felt even more angry at my countries shitty laws -_-

[lskw1]

@xXxAshersxXx sorry man...looks like your going to have to move!!!

[xXxAshersxXx]

@lskw1 I plan on doing it once I have uni out of the way, and america feels like the best bet for me.

[laddjm]

Great 2 part videos on the Great M1.

[lskw1]

@laddjm thanks man

[maxjr4]

if you really like M1 Garands you should go and get some of Scott Duff's books. he is an expert on the M1 and so is Jim Thompson, both avid collectors and shooters with multiple books on amazon.com

[lskw1]

@maxjr4 thanks i will check into that.

[maxjr4]

@lskw1 cool glad i could help

[Tharris808]

lol cat

[TheKentuckykid9513]

Hey can some one help me with a question about the garand, one of my friends has showed me one that was given to him by a relative and it has a three digit number Hand painted on the but stock what does this mean

[lskw1]

@TheKentuckykid9513 to my knowledge no manufact. hand painted on the stocks.. they engraved. try a google search and see what happens

[beinne03]

Great video, your passion for the Garand is noted! Just received mind in the mail from CMP and am equally in love with it!!

[lskw1]

@beinne03 thanks man your right.. and congrats you will LOVE it

[foist101]

I've got a full WWII American 101st AB impression (mainly reproduction as I'm on a budget) and all its missing is one of these bad boys. I'm 17 now, soon to be 18 and I'm going for my FAC so I can hopefully find one of these beautiful rifles and complete my collection. :D Such an awesome rifle.

[lskw1]

@foist101 I wish you luck. there absolutly beautiful.. Hang around cause in maybe a week or so i'll be posting footage of me shooting this Garand in fun and in rapid fire sucession

[WWIIAustrailianTroop]

Awesome, im 15, and i have a WWII 1941 M1 Garand in my WWII collection.

[lskw1]

@WWIIAustrailianTroop sweet. original parts??

[WWIIAustrailianTroop]

@lskw1 Yeah, except the sight knobs are Korea, the rifle was re-issued in Korea. I have to find the Windage and elevation sights. The reciever is 1944 though, im not sure, i still have to look i just got it 2 days ago. Other than that, it's all original.

[lskw1]

@WWIIAustrailianTroop will be worth a pretty penny in years to come. you shouldn't have issues w/ those parts there's an aray of sights deticated to M1 parts. good luck.

[DarkMatter45ACP]

Awesome vids, all you need is a M1911 .45ACP to go with. thumbs up!

[lskw1]

@DarkMatter45ACP your the second person to say that. Now im considering it lol

[krazy45cat]

Killer Ammo Can . What a piece of history !

[lskw1]

@krazy45cat heck yea man thanks

[gnashings]

Wow... so I can tell Chrome warned you about my perversion lol:) He is too kind to me, and a class act all around. I am so glad you said its an honour to own this rifle - I think its important to get that across, especially to those who will never meet the grandfathers and great uncles, etc., who actually saw WWII. Our society isolates us from the wars our servicemen fight for us, and feed us little digestible chunks in the media... LEST WE FORGET. But I digress...

[gnashings]

@gnashings Sorry about the history tirade... just something close to the heart for me. About the vid - I LOVED IT. OK so I am one biased fuck, but still - I will try to be objective - lost of great info, great anecdotes from your personal experiences, and its really obvious that you have a huge amount of respect for what that gun represents, and a great passion for the history. Oh yeah, and it is a beauty:)  One more thing - I dig the cat, let him hang out, man! He seems like a cool feline.

[ClosedFormat]

bro you got such a great rifle...i wouldn't say your lucky you got such a good deal on this gun...god let there be a good deal on this gun b/c he must love you....lol...cant wait to see it on sat...

[ChromeFreak123]

Bro, I am going to fly up and go to the range with you, I wish. lol. I am telling 30-06 is a mans round and it feels like shooting a .22 with it. It is such a well balanced rifle and add the wieght you have a sweet shooter.I am happy to helped even in a small way. Have fun and do clean it as quick as you can when done shooting, it makes all the difference in the world and much easier on you.Bring on the range.

[lskw1]

@ChromeFreak123 haha your welcome anytime to come up this way lol can't wait to shoot it and we'll do plenty of videos too

[SHUTupNrocK8]

Its really nice man... I still want my AK more... LOL

[lskw1]

@SHUTupNrocK8 i hear ya

[SHUTupNrocK8]

@lskw1 Then after the AK, I'll be getting an AR, most likely the M4 Carbine model... but I know nothing about M4's like I do Ak's so have any advice? I'm looking for a very good M4 Model with a detachable carry handle because I want to mount a scope on it without it looking stupid and clunky... got any ideas?

[lskw1]

@SHUTupNrocK8 not off the top of my head. just do your homework on it

[SHUTupNrocK8]

@lskw1 Look, at least thats one thing I do do before I buy a gun... I study the shit out of it so I know it down to the history of the firearm and the price range lol.
