The first shotty I bought cost me $215, was a Mossberg 500, and holds 8+1….
The M1 garand is amazing, it can still defeat most body armor as well, it's a tough old man.
I just wanted to mention that the mark of the imperial family being ground off done on many surrender rifles as it was thought that it would be a disgrace to the emperor by not grounding the mark off and not because it has a meaning like a nazi swastika. Also I believe you shot a arisaka rifle that was not last ditch but not one of the better early war rifles that were vary good rifles. If you thought the rifle was badly designed this may be because the type 99 arisaka rifles weird sights compared to traditional western sights. These sights were made for a more aggressive and sorter distance engagement rather than to improve the accuracy of the shooter as much as possible.
@@Rick_Sanchez_C137_ I moded my shot gun so it holds 7+1so 8 that's crazy if I went 9 the mag tube would have stuck past the barrel just a little bit hahah
@@lizerdmanwithagun7609 the type 99 I have actually has special sights on it that fold up and out for shooting at planes they're really weird but cool. They are original btw.
And you was in New York, one of the most anti-gun places in America. Imagine if you went into a pro gun state
Yeah, as someone from upstate NY, this state is kinda ass. Upstate also has a very low gun law compliance rate, but it still sucks.
NY state not that bad before Hochul.
@@MbisonBalrog no, it's been bad for a long time. Especially since Cuomo's safe act bullshit
@@MbisonBalrog hey, but I guess it could be England, so I shouldn't complain
@@lincolnwaffle6038 at least you can have guns NYC basically can’t. No where is worse than NYC not even 🇬🇧
This isn't America, it's New York lol.
I'm from the UK, but I live in America now. I lived in NYS for 12 years, and it is probably the worst place in the country as far as gun rights go.
I now live in a free state, and it is a night and day difference. I hope your trip to America involves visiting some other states. If so, you're in for a treat!
So true
Yeah, NY / California are prob the least American places in the country.
@@moonday5521 Add Illinois to that list. If it wasn’t for New York, California, and Illinois we could be so much freer!
@@117rebel Illinois is bad, but we can still have regular capacity, not the 10 round crap.
Don’t forget California. Thankfully everything is starting to get overturned and deemed unconstitutional
Recently relocated to South Carolina from Virginia, my new coworkers go hog hunting with nigh vision and a belt fed machine gun. Perfectly legal in the state by the way.
Edit: Just got this video recommended to me again and saw all the replies from a year ago. To answer a few of the comments there is no statute that limits the use of a firearm for hunting in SC other than certain state owned lands, IE no shotguns in this area or typical safety that says you must be X feet off the ground with a rifle (know what is beyond your target). Helibacon is a company in Texas that lets your do exactly what I said but out of a helicopter. See other companies in other states such as Porkchoppersaviation, Sky-Hunter Outfitters.
The states that I found online that allow you to use machine guns are, SC, TX, and OK
That's sounds like a great time.
"hog hunting with nigh vision and a belt fed machine gun"
One of the most American things I ever heard :)
@@0p3nh4ym3r you beat me to it, haha
FN, PTR Inc, Jarrett Rifles, ATI, AUTOMAG {yeah, those are back...
...now they work right} and PSA.
PSA owns several companies acquired ,before, in the The breakup of Remington.
Best state in The Union.
Anything is legal here in WV and NO permit required for concealed carry!
I love how sad/defeated that store clerk was when you asked him about mag capacity. "Yeah... ten rounds" *looks at the ground
I noticed that too
In the past, there was no difference between a hunting rifle and a battle rifle. The ar15 itself is a traditional design being over half a century old.
Correct. As a matter of fact, some AR15s are so old that they qualify as Curio & Relic guns.
Battle rifle is a term that doesn’t just mean a rifle used for battle. A battle rifle is a 30 caliber rifle, so an AR 15 is not a battle rifle.
The question should not be whether it is? The question should be why should we care? The right to bear arms should have never been limited as it has been and since the bruen case and the soon to be case with crs firearms. The NFA will be gone within 10 years.
There is No other right that states so imfatically that it is Not to be fuxked with. SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED!
Wdym by traditional?
Love seeing a Brit that enjoys guns. That Garand is very accurate, but you have to sight it in.
Have 5 all Springfields...
They're also shooting at like 30 yards, it's guna shoot high as hell that close essentially no matter what
Like every firearm
we do exist! I can't wait to come to America. Guns, Weed, Liberty and Freedom baby! what's not to love?
@@jxy_vbn8156 the only thing i hate is that we let twitter run the county lol otherwise it’s a cool place!
It’s comforting to me that there’s britts out there who know more about guns than me. I’m glad to see Americans aren’t the only ones holding onto their guns.
A person never forgets the first time you fire an M1 Garand. I think I've had more people shoot my M1 than I've shot it myself. It's just fun watching people's reactions.
Absolutely I remember going with a large group of people to the range with probably 100+ guns and alot of high end guns at that.. the m1 garand was still the one everyone including me wanted to shoot
Very true. I remember mine. The concussion cloud that formed at the muzzle was unique. Never shot anything that formed a basketball sized air pulse like that M1. I'm sure the 100% humidity had something to do with it but either way, very memorable.
@@Charsept The power of the 30-06 cannot be denied. The fact that the M1 will fire 8 rounds semi-auto gives a true sense of power.
@@nickking7666 Bang. Bang. Bang. Bang. Bang. Bang. Bang. Bang Ping.
What's funny is my first Hunting rifle at age 16 was a 30-06 that I got in 1984. A 1980 new old stock Remington Model 742. Then I got the opportunity to shoot a M1. I wasn't impressed. Wish I still had that Model 742. I was young and sold it not realizing that guns gain value over time.
Welcome to the States, great good to have you here. But why would you go to the most gun restrictive states!? New York and California is akin to the proverbial red headed stepchild in the gun community.
They're still *incredibly* liberal by the standards of most of the world.
yeah I know right, all I could notice was the neutered AR in the thumbnail lol, i’m surprised these guys called themselves a gun channel and the first place they go is new york💀
Same with Hawaii!
Maybe easing into it? Reducing the culture shock?
Transatlantic airlines don’t land in West Virginia. That’s why NY.
As an American and a New Yorker, I thank you for not just decrying the types of firearms we're allowed to own or how easily we can get our ammunition, I understand that you are well experienced with firearms in the U.K but I appreciate that you respect our culture surrounding firearms and don't just default to calling us gun nuts like a lot of other foreign tourists from across the pond, Just discovered the channel today and I look forward to watching the rest of your journey in our beautiful country and your other content you produce
I'm a gun nut and damn proud of it😉
@@brucem6442 I know we use it as a tongue and cheek adjective for someone and there's nothing wrong with that, I'm just talking about those that use it as an insult
@@Max_Unknown498 gotcha
Gun nut here.
New York definitely isn’t anywhere near something I’d describe as a “gun nut” state Lmao
Thanks for highlighting how unique our 2nd Amendment is and how we should defend it.
My father brought two Arisakas back from the Pacific Theater. When asked how or where he got them, the answer was always, "the hard way." The one had a dust cover and the action was almost impossible with it. Removed, it was smooth enough but you wouldn't want to have to do it in a hurry or under pressure. The other was worse. It was later production and it showed everywhere. Then they were smashed to bits in a tornado. Just occurred to me.... their 1st owners came to a bad end, and the 2nd owner's house was leveled. Maybe it was for the best? I still want one, though.
An even better rifle would be a K98 Mauser. My dream rifle is a K31, Swiss straght pull 7.5x55.
@@mikegriego3671 my dad has one at it is a very cool and well designed rifle up there with the swedish Mausers for sure
I'm glad your father always left it at "the hard way", I had a few beers with my Grandfather after I cam back from deployment. I learned about some of the horrors he experienced, that fortune spared me during my wartime service.
@@mikegriego3671 The K98 would be even better but the Arisaka is based on the Mauser action also after owning a K31 it's a great rifle but sadly 7.5x55 is not the easiest cartridge find and has gotten worse since covid. Also when you can find it it use to be a dollar a round now it's over 1.50 a round.
@@LavitosExodius That's about the same as .44mag ammo costs
Well done gentlemen. Looks like you had a hell of a good time. Thanks John for being such a great host for Jonny and Sasha.
John is THE man
Should've went to Florida or Texas.
Next time you can visit Michigan....we keep the 'real guns' here 💪 😉
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, you all have the most underrated gun channel in the world. Hope you enjoy the rich history and have a metric ton of fun. Also hope this is the first of many trips here for you in a long and fulfilling career.
The woodworking and craftsmanship on some of their stocks is absolutely spectacular.
I had a Garand in virtually brand new condition in Aust when we were allowed to have semi autos. I concur owning other rifles that I loved, I still get fond dreams about that rifle even to this day. Old George was right,, the greatest battle implement ever devised. God bless US !
Hope one day your countrymen wake up and decide to live as free men again. Hope that old Garand was lost and not turned over to the state.
You should have buried it
@@mikek5322 if it's time to lose em it's time to use em
@@ammoiscurrency5706 You're 100 percent right on that
@@ammoiscurrency5706 dang straight!
glad you could experience some of our culture, we would love to have you and any other freedom loving individuals back anytime!
Seeing the face of someone hearing the ping for the first time is something special.
Awesome Jonny and Sash. I got to shoot the M1, M1 Carbine and a BAR earlier this year it was everything and more than I could have ever expected. Looks like a very successful trip all round. Another excellent video from you guys. Keep them coming!!!!
Firing an M1 is like a spiritual experience. Nothing else comes close!
You should come back in the fall or winter and go to the south. Lots of critters to hunt and good people
Thanks for coming to the states. I never knew they had such a store in New York City.
Its upstate
Johnny, consider coming back to the US in October for the NSCA Sporting Clays National Championship in San Antonio. Would make for more than one great video.
It has been discussed in the office
@@tgsoutdoors Next time please Get your hands on some better guns from a state that likes all the Bells and whistles that NY has Banned. It's always fun to see British firing off Barret.50 cals. it seems like a waste to have an M1 Garand be the best you get your hands on in the US.
Love visiting the USA, such welcoming people.
Hard to believe but sure why not.
European americans are about as friendly as they come. They will offer you a room and dinner if you need, as a foreigner
Nothing like getting to go over the pond and getting to have fun with handguns, full auto and 50-cal.
Welcome friend! I hope you had a great time in the States.
my grandpa has like 40 of them in PA, he had a farm back in the 1920s and bought these for his employees to use. but only on the farm. now he just has them sitting and he tells me everytime on my 21st ill be taking one home
I’m so glad that you had a good time in the states. It’s a shame that you didn’t have a lot more time to travel across the country.
Glad to have y’all herein the USA with us hope it was as much fun as it looked like please come visit us any time
My jaw was on the floor listening to that man describe the BS laws on that AR
IM glad you had a blast in the States.
If this blows your mind, come to Wyoming. No feature restrictions, no magazine restrictions, you can get what New York calls a "Feature" or an "Assault Rifle" in a military styled configuration. Just fill out your 4473 for the BATFE, pass it and walk out the door with an FN or Colt M4 styled AR-15.
That's American af, on behalf of my fellow US citizen, you are officially welcomed and invited to the BBQ🇺🇸
We need hook this man up with Garand Thumb, Demolition Ranch, or Kentucky Ballistics! You really should stop at the Bass Pro in Springfield Missouri though.
@@javoratree3861 Hickock45 reminds me of my grandfather so much. Is Jerry as active on CZcams? I'm subbed but I don't see his channel upload very often.
My post just got deleted. Probably for adding a link. Sorry about that. Just trying to give you an understanding of who I was talking about.
@@Limp_Bizkiteer I think the last post was two weeks ago. His daughter Lena seems to be slowly taking over.
@@javoratree3861 I'll have to check Jerry's channel out again. I honestly just forget he's on CZcams most of the time.
Awesome as ever, so good to see the channel head over the pond and producing 10/10 videos yet again!
More epic content to come this week...
From a little shop on a stream off the river itchen , once called Jordy jack's, to an international video makers. I absolutely doff my cap to the Proof House!
Cracking video. Can't believe it's your first time over there. I went to florida a good few years ago did all the theme parks and water parks with the kids and had an awesome time but the hour I spent at a gun shop and shooting range on the way to the airport to come home was the best bit of the hols (don't tell the wife and kids tho 🙄)
I really enjoyed this feature. Don't feel bad about your grouping with the Garand; the bayonet causes accuracy loss. It delights me that you stopped in New York, our gun owning community here is as active as any. Cheers!
But definitely a neutered gun community (no offense) Here in Missouri I’m very comfortable with the amount I own and shoot at any given time. No limits. (Minus getting a huge tax stamp on full autos but screw the NFA)
@@Aidan-fw1xr You are fortunate indeed. Sadly New York State is not a commonwealth and we are at the mercy of NYC.
One of the first british people ive seen that actually enjoys gun bravo
Stoeger @ 10:30 and Armas Boito (ER Amantino Indústria Metalúrgica Ltda) are both part of the Beretta Group.
Boito also makes some Benelli shotguns, also owned bt Beretta.
Thanks for playing
Being looking forward to these coming out since the Instagram posts! Looks a hoot!
Glad you loved it
I like the selector on my citori for single trap because depending on position, I can choose which barrel to load and have a different choke in each barrel, very useful
Another great video!!! I visited the Beretta Gallery in NYC when on holiday pre-lockdown and they made me feel really welcome. It was a highlight of my trip. I think Hemmingway bought the Beretta because he was hunting duck in the lagoons around Venice.
This was great. Iooking forward to the rest of your trip!
Clad You Enjoyed The Trip To The States !! Iv Been 3 Time So Far And Enjoyed Every Shooting Visit ,
Pre Covid on a New Years trip to NY I made it a point to visit the Beretta Gallery & had the same experience practically verbatim. It took a magic touch to get the side plates of the Sparrow Hawk to pop open for me too. LOL. The staff was very generous with their time & also shared the Hemmingway Gun, I have great photos. If your into the shooting sports & find yourself in NY I highly recommend you visit the Gallery.
I remember my first time shooting my Garand! Fantastic. Very smooth shooting rifle.
Welcome to America!!!! Great videos! Keep it up!
Great video and welcome! Next time stop out to Pennsylvania for some great sporting clays in Lehigh Valley. Exceptional experience!
Glad to see you had a lot of fun Johnny
Just had this video come up in my feed. Dont know who you guys are, but loved the vid. You like guns, I like you. I'm glad you got to shoot the Garand , the look of satisfaction on your faces says it all. Your smile made me smile. Lol!
Someone forgot to tell you shotgun jockeys on a rifle you sqeeze the trigger not pull it 😂Hope you enjoyed your stay, come back when you can.
Can't wait to see you guys when you get to do some shooting in a free state. Liked and subbed. You are so close to 100k and you have very good content. Looking forward to the remainder of your visit to other states. Best wishes.
Shooting iconic weaponry like that is so much fun!!!! Glad yall were able to do this!!!!
Davis Sporting Goods and a M1 Garand! Sounds like a perfect day! Hope you enjoyed being in my neck of the woods.
Hello Johnny good to see you in the United States mate .And you had such a Grand time with a m-1 Garand. ( my favorite gun.)
Next time you visit you need to try our country side from Ohio to South Carolina sporting clays are here. Or go to Camp Perry Ohio and get a hands on with the M-1 Garand on the range.
You will not regret the visit.
How you just gonna stop at south Carolina like Georgia don't exist 🤔
@@AcidAdventurer sorry your right theirs great hospitality and great clays in Georgia
Hemingway was a very keen admirer of the mannlicher shoenauer, and for very good reason. It is perhaps one of the finest rifles I have ever handled.
I greatly envy you in that regard because I've only had the opportunity to shoot the 8mm Mauser and .30-06 M1917 out of all the classic bolt rifles.
I thought that Beretta Closed down in NY. Good to see it still open.
Glad to see those nice Upstate Folks Took Care Of You. Very nice folks up there.
I have a side by side double barrel, I feel that the shots can go quicker because each barrel has a trigger just dedicated to it. They can even both fired together of which I have done using bird shot.
so glad you came to the US! wish you would come to South Carolina for some extreme heat, humidity, the FN and Palmetto State Armory manufacturing. You could also enjoy some 60 round clips in you AR15.
great video!
He did come to South Carolina
mags*
@@myself6191 Now in fairness..... he could open the ammo can, taken out the 10 rounds on a clip, loading off the stripper clips into the magazine.... I wonder if would catch felony weapon charges if he brought back to the UK an empty Stripper clip and the Spoon for the magazine adapter/loading as souvenirs.
The great thing about the Garand is we in the states could order them via US mail through the civilian marksmanship program. I did exactly this last year and the rifle was delivered to my door by FedEx lol.
No!!! That is amazing
@@tgsoutdoors Model 1911 pistols can be acquired the same way, except in the most restrictive states. It's also possible (for the time being,) to get everything needed to build an AR shipped to your home as long as the lower receiver has 80% or less of the machine work done. Legally the purchaser must not be a prohibited person and must complete the machine work themselves.
@Philby Iasgair You can still get the lowers, you just can't get them together with the jigs and tools. If you order them separately, you will be fine.
Nice to see someone from across the pond here enjoying true freedom
One quick thing about the arisaka, ive noticed a lot of first time shooters not pushing the bolt all the way closed before rotating the bolt. This is a problem because unlike a more traditional mauser action, the arisaka is a cock on close system, meaning you get resistance before you close the bolt all the way. My experience with arisakas is that if you operate the bolt properly it doesnt feel very clunky and they are actually great rifles
That must have been a particularly rough, late war example of an Arisaka. Most of them are very smooth. One of my favorite bolt actions.
What I was thinking too
Seeing an AR with an American flag hydrodip while also sporting CA/NY-compliant parts (basically neutering the rifle) is a class act in irony.
i sip my ginger ale and captain Morgan on an august summer evening while i tinker in my garage with off road vehicles and gun racks with various models of firearms and a modern muscle car i am in all smiles seeing this lad from another country enjoying a fire-arms hobby coincidentally in my home state just bringing positive energy and enjoying his new environment, reading the comment of south carolina using a belt fed welp i think i know where im planning my next vacay har har har
I do so hope you come back and visit the South , Midwest and Southwest. A Whole bunch different than NY.
A shop like Davis in the UK, wow, I'd never get out, I'd be bankrupt.
Can't wait for the next video 😍
Bankrupt AND in jail! 🤣😂
That's been a dream since my childhood to fire the Garand. Looks awesome :).
It was! Can’t wait to get my hands on it again
@@tgsoutdoors the next time you come to the States, check out a machinegun range. They're more common than you might think, and they can be inexpensive to rent and run some great guns.
I appreciate fine art & labor craftsmanship!!!
Davis is my local shop, such great people there. I get so much of my fishing stuff there.
Welcome to our semi-free country!
You need to get back over here and come down south. October- November time frame and shoot clays.
Great to see you over here !!!
The quality of your videos is exemplary. And the music is great!!!
Complimenting AWESOME content!
7:41 basically NY, like a few other asinine states, is trying to deem various guns to be "assault weapons" based on arbitrary features that in no way contribute to the weapon's lethality. Collapsible stock for example, it's purely for adjusting stock length for different user fitments (like sliding back a seat in a car for taller passengers) and in no way contributes to the gun being deadlier. It's purely aesthetics that make the weapon more "scary" looking that they want to ban. That actually sums up these gun control initiatives pretty well actually: it's not about pragmatism or effectiveness, it's all about optics and politicians looking like they're actually making real change.
Great video guys, soon to be looking at getting my Shotgun licence here in the UK, some absolute beautiful shotguns you found
Are you good at waiting for no good reason? ☹️
@@ddoherty5956 work restrictions and travel :D

@@ddoherty5956 thanks! I did go shooting up in Leeds and got hooked :D

@@mikleman996 🤞👍
I also own an Arisaka, and didn't know that the sigil thing had any sort of significance. Mine still has it, too. My great grandfather brought it home from Okinawa. He also had an officer's katana, but donated it to some museum in the 90s.
That looked like so much fun!! I did notice the super limited edition Proofhouse merch. Must be worth a pretty penny now!!
10 rounds is NOT ok
Welcome to the United States! I wish everyone could have more open gun laws like ours!
they’re in new york, not america
As a foreigner I can happily inform you that the majority of us are quite fine with just the US having those laws. Thanks for being the worlds gun amusement park though
@@pellept0327 Speak for yourself.
Welcome to America. Enjoy your stay!
As another Brit, walking into a Dick's sporting goods in Long Island was quite a jaw dropping experience, guns galore and very reasonably priced fishing gear....superb
New York is a joke! Come to the Midwest.
Please immigrate over here and start voting like a real American. I can see your excitement about firearms and wish that people here would see just how important they are to keeping America the best country on earth.
I’m British and I really want to move to live in the US. I just have no idea where to even start…
I love your country and your way of life, hell, even just visiting one day would mean so much to me
@@richthofen0005 if I knew I would let you know, we need more pro freedom people here. Immigrants formed America so it upsets me when I hear about people having trouble immigrating over here. Nonetheless I hope you get here someday, I love it here.
It wouldbe easy to find an american wife
Love your passion for firearms this was fun to watch
Great vid! And now I know I can go to Britain anytime and have a career teaching people the PROPER WAY to use tape.
I'm at 11:37 grabbing the step ladder lmao. Used to work there for the summer
Welcome to America
Wished I knew you were coming.I’m not far from Davis and stop In there quite a bit for supplies. Would’ve liked to meet you in person.
You got to judge that Arisaka on the context that it was built for smaller Japanese men. And late war examples are rough in finish and fit to expedite production to meet the need of the imperial Japanese army. The Germans also made a lot of last ditch weaponry that are rougher than what the Japanese built. Pre-war examples of that rifle are fine and well built.
I live right up the road from Davis Sport Shop. I go there all the time! Great video!
I always love seeing our friends from across the pond come over and enjoy some of the guns we here take for granted next time you get a chance you should visit a state that's actually gun friendly you thought buying ammo like sweets is great did anybody mention binary explosive targets most gun shops sell them by the pound.
Binary explosive….
We are in Texas in October, this is added to the list.
In case you want to shop there it's Davis Sports Shop on RTE 17 in Sloatsburg N.Y.
Brilliant video. Hope there is more coming from the us
Im in Oregon have Winchester 96 bought used for 250 a few years. love it, the 101 would be nice a upgrade.
I frequently deliver to the Baretta factory in Gallatin Tn. It's quite a place.
Welcome to the states, you guys should plan a trip to the Grand American trap shoot in Sparta Illinois one year. Largest participated shoot in the country I believe around 5000 participants. Trap line is 3.5 miles long very cool to see all the vendors and people participating.
It's always nice seeing people from other countries enjoy firearms. It's just heartwarming!
That engraving looked beautiful.
