@miniman9585 Danfish, the USMC called it "M-1 Thumb". In 1966 I fired both the M-1 Garand, and the M-14. The M-1 Thumb was from when presenting arms, for an inspection, you had to have the bolt open. You did it with one hand, (right), and if you didn't seat the bolt just right, while depressing the follower, it would slam shut on your thumb. Pretty painful!! LOL Usually a little blood too!
Both great rifles. Full auto on the M 14 not so accurate. But great on simi auto.

Excellent Video!!! Thanks to your video I was able to field strip and learn the inner workings of this great rifle. Keep up the GREAT work.

@danfish101 the correct term was actually 'shooters thumb'
it wuz from placing the thumb behind the rear sights, firing the rifle and the shooter's knuckle smacking him in the face
Watch Saving Private Ryan when Upham faces 'Steamboat Willie' to see an example of being close to shooters thumb

Very helpful video. Makes the rifle look a little less complicated. What a great piece of machinery! I don't own one yet. I will though; that's for sure.

love these old guns. Damn things are built like tanks. You really cant damage the internals cause its all forged steel

M1 and M14, trusted American workhorse from WWII to the present.
M1 and M14, what Obama thinks is a mass murder machine.
