GARAND THUMB
0:01 hello 😍 please blow up ( martini henry) rifle
@@JasperLoLbit who talking to you
Bungee jump 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
As someone who has owned a m1 garand for over 20 years and was actually the first gun I ever bought, I have to say I have never seen one jam so many times. Lol. I think gun companies need to send you firearms to test out to see how prone they are to jamming. Because you sir, seem to have a special touch for jamming guns
Yeah, this Garand needed to be destroyed, for jamming that much.
I feel the same way. Mine has always run like a top. You do have to manhandle it a bit sometimes, but it's always been solid.
Yeah something was definitely not right there, my first guess would be spring or operating or rod. I'm very conflicted about seeing this iconic rifle destroyed this way
mine runs better than his and i know mine needs work.
You just got jammed 🩰
My heart broke when a perfectly good Garand was destroyed.
It wasn't perfectly good, evidenced by how many times it jammed.
Things that are easily fixed I believe. After that perfectly good M1. Non produced items should be preserved. @@DansilSchroeder
these m1 garand now are worth only about $1,500. i believe scott pays more for his jelly zombie friends ;)
Im pretty sure that was a new one, it didnt look like a WW2 era.
@@tacticooldude7509 wrong, it appears to be a 6 digit unit.
Scott gave himself Garand thumb for us, what a legend.
You only do it once....
@@bdask72and he did it twice 💀
It isn’t as bad when it gets the base of the thumb, it is worse when it catches the tip of your thumb, because it can break your fingernail in half or tear off a bit of skin from the fingertip.
Mine was on the end, bled like a stuck pig and didn't lose the nail but had a bloody nail bed for a few months...The Garand demands blood!!!
@@bdask72RIP
as a recruit in the Danish army in the early 70ies they still taught us to shoot using the M1. It is really an excellent gun!
It’s been really nice following this channel and their videos are always Amazing and full of useful information
I’d love to know you better Kim, thats only if you dont mind cos you seem to be a very nice person with a great sense of humor
This Chanel is literally just us watching Scott have the time of his life while entertaining us, u can’t ask for anything more
Last part of the video doesn't even have any guns!! 😆😆😝
this took "put a thumb in it" to a whole new level. Glad your still alive and kicking Scott, that thumb trick really nailed it.
Same, I was like, "Scott, don't read your shirt!"
Ayy underrated.
You beat me to the joke. :)
There is still one more place to put it.
The “surprise” explosion never gets old😂 genuinely makes me giggle every time and I know it’s coming
Ukr! Same here too😂
That put the heart crossways in me...
I cackle like a complete idiot 😹😹😹
This brought back the memories of having a Garand blow up while I was firing it. Not quite as spectacular as yours but with similar result. It froze the brass case in the chamber, vented through the case head and cracked both locking lugs. Gas blew out the floorplate and ruptured the stock similarly to yours. Injury was a cauterized burn to the the left wrist. It was January, so winter clothing shielded some.
What a waist of a beautiful iconic rifle from our military history! Next time box it up and send it to me I'll take care of it for you in my gun safe! I will be sure nothing happens to it!
This is what happens when people say the advice not to put ammo heavier than 150 grains into an M1 without an aftermarket gas screw is "Fuddlore". They wind up with shrapnel in the face and destroying a collectible gun.
Scott in the intro is the embodiment of letting intrusive thoughts win
Just put a thumb in it
@@samizdat4443 a Garand Thumb in it :P
I can't go one video without seeing you
Heisenberg is the embodiment of letting the CZcams bots win
I KEEP SEEING YOU ON THIS GUYS VIDEOS pretty cool
My heart skipped a beat from that explosion while you were setting up your trigger puller contraption. Good one .🤣
It doesn't scare me anymore but the previous times it did
Mine did also.
I was waiting for it. I was expecting it. It still made me jump. 🤣 Perfectly placed.
Damnit it got me too
Not a jumpy guy, but definitely jumped on that one.
I am so glad that Scott can make jokes about what happened. And the fact that he is still okay around firearms. I personally probably would have been scarred for life, so good on you, Scott!
Yeah I've only fired a couple guns in my life and I would be deathly afraid after that.
when i was younger, my family had a shotgun that had a hammer on it. didnt actually do it anything, it was there just cause....... reasons? but anyway!
when i was young, i wanted to shoot it and decided, being a young genius, put it underneath my armpit instead of my shoulder. im sure you can tell where this is going..........
so i got told my brother i shouldn't hold it like that, i said im fine, he went oooookay and let me hold it like that(siblings, AMIRIGHT!!!!!!). so i shot that thing, while looking down the barrel, ish. well it, naturally shot back, the hammer went strait into my nose, almost cutting the tip off. didnt get stitches or anything, my nose is strait, but i do have a mark there!!!!!
for years, i couldnt shoot a gun for very long, i would get physically sick if i shot like 6 bullets and have to stop. i eventually got over that, but i wouldnt even touch a shotgun. finally shot a shotgun again like 6 or so years ago, was shaking a bit, not from the kickback, but was just having a physical reaction to holding a shotgun in my hands and shooting it. now im all good!
took me a bit to get over that injury, was rough lol.
Well i mean he is also scarred for life just not in the mental way 😂😂
@@d3athreaper100 As a 1st time viewer here, are you sure?
@@scorpionlord9175i liced thru the exact thing at the age if 7. My brother in law was with me. His gun. My mom was angry at him for months
What’s absolutely surprising to me is that the most failure prone part of the garand with high pressure, the operating rod, survived mostly. At least didn’t fail in the normal high pressure way. All due to the bolt giving before the bullet reached the gas port
But what about the split muzzle?
What should I do with the crane next? 😂 I hope you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching!
4 Bore
Ballistic dummy vs 700 nitro express sawed off double barrel shotgun?
A good gun to explode would be a Benelli Shotgun or something if the sort.
Wrecking ball
Pull a dummy's head off lol...
That Garand exploding was one the saddest and most satisfying failures ever. Seeing the wood shatter in slow-mo was beautiful
Dang it Scott, I watch your videos at work, with headphones on, at moderate volume. That explosion you did at 10:03 made me jump about 1/4" outta my chair haha. They always get me when you do those. You'd think by now i'd be expecting it.
😂😂😂
That explosion when taking the safety off before the spicy meatball….almost popped myself sir!! 😂
If you can’t appreciate Scott’s intros, you take life way too serious and you need to start enjoying yourself more!!!! The thumb will prevail 😂
I take life “too” serious when someone writes “to” instead.
@@MasterBlaster3545🤓☝️
Those are fine, however what's not fine are the incredibly annoying nuke jumpscares like 10:01
100% agreed I have birds and it scares them to go nuts when he does this. @@hhaste
The intros are top tier
I love how almost everyone of Scott’s guns gets jammed nowadays
The amount of stuff he blasts point blank I’m surprised he has a clean gun left that doesn’t jam
Prob doesn’t have time to clean them when you own so many 😢
It is almost like all he wants to do is destroy every weapon he has and its sad. Cant watch him anymore
You just got Jammed.💁♂
for real, im starving and i could eat those guns. @@butcoffeefirst9642
Scott, a suggestion. I’m very curious to see a bullpup rifle would handle this kind of failure, whether it be an AUG, Famas, IWI-TAVOR, or L85A1. Been somethin I’ve wanted to see for a while.
You must be a foreigner based on your comment. We WISH that we can buy FAMAS and SA80 at our local gun stores 😂😂😂
@@hoppinggnomethe4154 bold assumption. Texas born and raised. I’m just curious of how that failure would look and what the result would be. And it can be ANY bullpup, not just the Famas or AUG.
Hellions are probably easier to come by
10:01 makes me jump every dang time... 😂
As a young Marine in 1943 my dad carried an M1 fighting in the Pacific islands campaigns. He always wanted one as a civilian but never got one.
Seems like we all may know a guy who might sell one cheap. May require a few minor repairs?
I'd pick up one and take her to the range to get a feel what your dad felt
And someone just blatantly destroyed a piece of history.
Scott, I’m just glad you’re okay. And still with us after the 50 incident.
And still doing you part to help eliminate the furby infestation.
God be with you.
Did you know that the muricans have sent sabotaged ammunition like this all over the world? They dumped a lot in Nam
@@Boycott_Wendys Joe you really should sleep more
What's a furby?
I now remember what is a furby
@@fenrir4211 lol you mad because he stated a fact?
Being laid up after hernia repairs, I found a friend. This is great. It took me a few episodes before I realized Scott is the guy who swallowed a .50 bmg breech. And here he is still punishing himself, and weapons, for our "education." I am loving this.
I had the pleasure of qualifying with the M1 ,M14,and M16 , 45 cal. And using them and a few others weapons in combat during my 3 tours in Vietnam
Scott: Gives himself Garand-Thumb
All of us: *He hath been baptised*
I have owned 4 M1s since 1982. Some how I have never gotten bit!
It hurts to see such a beautiful gun get destroyed like that
Literally just metal and wood…
@@aftaahlifehistoric wood and metal troll get it right
No, it’s not, it’s a piece of history many of us would’ve loved to cherish and enjoy. Sure we made millions of them, but it doesn’t change that.
@@c.j.griffis2101it’s just a gun. It’s really not a big deal. There are many others out there or you can just buy a new one.
You arevthe worst kind of firearms person you don't see them as more than that. Sad
Scott, you are the craziest shooter I’ve ever seen! And I think we all agree that you need to absolutely stay that way! Keep up the amazing work!
10:02 Jesus... I jumped so hard I spilled beer all over my shirt. Good one :)
The intro unironically matches with "just put a thumb in it"
Yeah 😂
Stick your thumb in it???
My mind says no, but the flannel daddy says yes
Scott single handedly keeping furby production running. 😂
Try not to reuse joke challenge (impossible)
10:19 That's a big PING! 😂😂
The ballistic gel seems really resilient. Normally, when I see people get hit like that, they kinda explode definitely left an impression on the lady walking her dog.
2 things. 1) after that opening I feel like Scott may be losing touch with reality and I'm here for it. 2) I can't imagine how foul that range must smell in the Kentucky heat and humidity (Kentucky native myself)
I think in too much longer it'll be designated an EPA Superfund site.
Scott lost touch with reality long ago, and the ride is AWESOME
I can't wait till he takes a much deserved family vacation and returns to a field of revenge seeking eggplants growing!!! Lmao!!!
I've said it before and I'll say it again.... Damn you Scott and your editing in the giant explosion when you're loading up! 😅
I know it's coming but it gets me every time 😁
On the other hand, I'm glad you can make light of your brush with death. We're all happy you are still here doing what you do fella 👍
For Christmas, Scott owes me some diapers🎄
@@Jeff.78 me too lmafo
Thank you. I'm having a rough week. I love your videos. The explosions at the trigger placement always make me jump. Lol.
Damn scott you got me this time….. you ****… my heart jumped so bad that it skipped a beat when you got the safety off and played that stupid explosion clip. Normally that does not bother me but this time i was not ready..😂😂
I love how Scott makes the sponsor plug entertaining. Too many content creators try to sneak it in and then half apologize for it. It's tempting to skip past. Scott makes it so fun to watch that I don't care that it's a commercial.
Store employee: How much backpacks do you need
Scott: yes
yeah that was a pretty good one
Literally the ONLY commercials I dont "skip ad" or fast foreword through.
Scott is one of the best IMHO
Garands don’t like to be coddled. Best Infantry rifle on the planet. First one I held, favorite caliber, only the addition of a box magazine was needed. It’s a real rifle, M14 was all we had, until the plastic Mattel’s started showing up. These iconic rifles were real Battle Rifles. I love my AR, but only one rifle for me if I have to choose. Belt fed would be even better.
I know Matt did a bunch of stress tests on the high point pistols, but I would love to see what happens if it's loaded with a high pressure bullet, because I don't think that was something he tested on them. 😂
Look up IV8888's test on Hi Points, he did the best ones including a way overpressured round with a bolt beat into the muzzle. It still didn't explode, just launched the bolt out. They had to put an overpressure round, bolt in the muzzle, and C clamp the whole thing shut to get it to blow. I think they filled the barrel w/ gunpowder too but I may be wrong.
@@Toolness1can you link the video
iv8888 didnt use anfo or HE to spike the charge. Not sure if they tried a faster powder, which usually is enough. Also have more pressure if you use a slow-cure epoxy cap over the powder below the projectile. Good way to deal with post apocalyptic ammo thieves... just be sure to mark them innocuously.
To each their own, but seemed like a really nice M1 Garand that shouldn’t have been needlessly destroyed.
The face he made when he was shooting the T-Rex reminds me of when Bruce Campbell portrayed Sam Axe on the show Burn Notice, just pure baby faced excitement, love it!
I'd just like for us to take a moment of silence in respect of the fallen firearm. It was a good rifle.. It served us well.. It will be missed.
😢
believe it or not someone could pronly still save this gun likereweld it or something also its stupid to treat an inanimate object like a person
believe it or not someone could probly still save this gun like reweld it or something also its stupid to treat an inanimate object like a person
@@Isaac-rh9ts🤦🏻♂️
@@glcart-cs5sc looks like you know how to have fun
This one hurt a little bit to watch. Rest in pieces, M1. I'm going to hug mine when I get back home. 😢
Give it an extra hug for all us fans of the M1 too please.
Maybe the armory can rebuild it for the CMP.
Scott, you are a true entertainer... and, No, this will never get old 👍🏻👍🏻😎😎
The slow motion from the side looked like a movie effect. Big, orange explosion, wood flying straight at you.. Just perfect!
As a gun guy, that was interesting and informative.
As a carpenter, seeing that beautiful walnut splinter hurt my soul.
I never ever imagined that a M1 Garand would explode like this in such spectacular fashion since my great grandfather who served in the military of my country (Ecuador) was gifted one by an USA Army General. Good to know this rifle is preserved amongst one of my relatives. and video as always!
The THAT'S A SPICY MEATABALL Never Gets Old 😂 somehow i know when its comimg😂
I love how despite it being completely blown apart, with the trigger surviving you could ostensibly put it back together in working order. Just a few welds to the receiver and a new stock, and it'd work just as well.
The quick atom bomb explosion edits never fail to make me laugh unreasonably hard. Also, hearing Scott’s faint maniacal laugh in the background of the atlas stone hitting the zombie torso scene.
I read this comment before seeing the explosion. Still fucking got me 🤣🤣
Actually made me jump.
Me too
Dude it actually kind of scared me. Not even gonna lie. Was legitimately concerned for Scott.
Who else turned the volume down after he was setting up the trigger hook XD
I can definitely tell by Scotts smile-o-meter that he really enjoys his toy crane, lol.
Intros never disappoint, mr grand thumb’s acting was superb 😮💨
Thank you for making these videos Scott! Let’s thank the lord for letting us have these awesome freedoms!
I don't know how good or bad of an idea this is, but in these guns go boom videos, I'd love to see a bunch of ballistics gel blocks lined up in front of the gun. Fire a normal pressure round through the blocks and then fire the waaaay over pressure round through them and compare the penetration difference.
I have always wanted an M1 Garand. And this broke my heart to see one destroyed like you did. While it was interesting to watch, but I hated to see something I have never shot but yet still wanted one. Oh, well.
Cmp has stock and is the cheapest you will see
Get one if you can. They are great rifles and Scott should not have done this.
Well it was a helluva explosion though.
It's not like it was *the last one*...
@@martinswiney2192 This was obviously a reproduction 😂 Come on dude. That rifle was in pristine condition. You really think he would do that to an unissued Gov M1? Those are worth 60-70k. He could put a kid through school with one of those. + The wood was the wrong wood. M1s were never that light in color. They always used boiled linseed oil or something similar to seal it and that's typically what gave M1s their kind of unmistakable reddish brown color.
The You Just Got Jammed never gets old 😂
Old enuf to have been ISSUED a Garand back in the day, a reminder that the manual specifies palm-up handling of the op rod handle, so that cook-offs and hang-fires won't break your thumb.
*Million Dollar Idea:* Go to Matt’s ranch, and throw all these metal gun parts into a special pond….
Best Magnet Fishing Spot EVER!
Basically a "restore n build" pond haha, find all the parts and build a gun 🤣
Lego for adults except you gotta find the pieces in a lake
I only felt bad for a classic rifle but in the name of science. Scott never disappoints.
theres too many of these seriously
What trolls?@@pilotreg
There's 0 science here
when you load a bomb into a gun, the gun blows up
what's in this video that we didn't yet know?
@@barackmycat9448 i think he means Garands going boom. Theres so many vids of idiots having a squib or using sketchy handloads and turning these guns (which ARE NOT PRODUCED ANYMORE) into pipe bombs.
Since they are not produced and valuable is the point I was making.@@WendiGonerLH
I mean you had zero warning that the Berrat 50 Call was going to go boom, that's the really terrifying part.
The most unlucky firework show, surprise!
Thank you for being so tough and still Mucking around Fire Arms for our Entertainment. 👍😎🍻
10:20
I love how you can hear Scott's faint "Hooolyyy MOLLY!!" in the background after it blows up
I have to admit 😢 I cried watching that beautiful piece of history explode. I once owned one. It was awesome! The fireball coming out at dusk, the ping, that soft yet powerful recoil and that booming force of destruction and 🔥 fury😊.I regret selling it but I was in dire straits at the time. Hope to own one again some day. Love the show keep up the good work!
This one is a Repro
That explosion at 10:00 made me jump in my seat 😂
lol me too
It gets me every time lol...
That the bolt didn't leap backwards and blow the brains out on the dummy is indicative of a good design. I mean your forarm on your secondary hand would be minced by shrapnel and you'd probably go blind on your dominant eye, but all in all, this is a rifle where you stand a good chance of surviving a complete barral obstruction.
Loved it when you yelled at that 290,000 PSI cartridge! What a classic!😃
I'm going to assume this wasn't an original for my own sanity, but even so it still hurt to watch it go boom.... Definitely one of the biggest booms so far!
It probably was an original m1 as there aren't any companies making modern ones
Scott I think the reason why it was jamming was because sometimes there is a specific type of 30 06 made for the garand
If there ever was a good spokesperson for a tactical backpack Scott is the guy! He doesn’t hold back!
That M1 Garand Exploded like a crate in half life 10:19
I have nothing but respect for Scott. After his accident he is still here making jokes and even turned it into a brand deal! Man's a legends.
The man who had a .50 cal sniper rifle blow up in his face and survive. The mountain slayer. The lion hearted. The demolisher. The table tosser. I can keep going, the point is, Scott is awesome.
U damm right he is 😎😎😎💚💚💚.
He's the Toughest Tuber to have ever film a vod... Only people tougher are VFW's and Michael Goggins
I can just imagine your mom and dad when you were but a wee lad. Mom says to Dad, " well honey he has been at it again, don't get mad at him, we can always buy a new house"! A big thumbs up for a great job!
Kind of hard seeing such an icon meeting it’s end. 😮
Seeing a Repro meeting its end? Not really hard
“Just put a thumb in it” came to mind, and I saw your shirt 😂 your humor is great
Such a great video series but so painful to see such a wonderful gun get destroyed 😢
i only halfway agree. any other m1 id absolutely agree, but that thing was jamming a lot and it looked like each wood part was from a different gun... a franken-m1
@@JerryLeeLewis-1 or because theyre rebuilt from parts that arent exactly the same. sometimes is not worth re-tuning the gun or repairing the gun.
the only other thing this gun would be worthwhile using it for is making it unable to fire and putting it in a ww2/korean war museum, despite it not being period its closer to being period than being a functional gun
Civilian marksmanship program. You can get one of your own. $700-1150
6:50, that bullet was moving FAST, like he put some mustard on it! 😂
I literally JUMPED in my chair when you took the M1 off safety and did the explosion cut-away. You got me!
Hearing how loud the gun is over a camera really makes me think about how terrifying D-Day was
or ww2 in general🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
@@ultimategaming6093 Yes however, specifically D-Day
I love that the colab with the Slo Mo Guys has given us even slower gun explosions! Can't wait for the next one. Great vid as always, Scott!
I love the “you just got jammed”that alway speaks to my inner 40sw 😆
I love the you just got jam meme 😂😂 every time I say to myself that must be a jam, that meme comes out of no where 😂😂😂
When I was on the Langley AFB/HQ TAC Honor Guard in the '80s, we carried Garands for gun salutes at funerals. It pains me to see such a beautiful rifle meet such a violent end. However, it's also important to understand what can happen if we don't treat our weapons properly.
Putting a bullet with like 5x the amount of force than the bullet you're supposed to use has nothing to do with treating a weapon properly.
@@Yuck412 When a weapon gets sufficiently worn and badly maintained a normal round can cause this kind of effect. But putting that much wear and tear on the gun for these tests isn't reasonable so an overloaded round is a good stand in.
As a Marine, I’ve always wanted an M1 Grand but can’t afford one. Sad to see one get destroyed.
I am hoping it was a modern replica. Have you considered the Civilian Marksmanship Program for getting an M1? I think they're going to be cheaper vs private sale etc, though the availability is dwindling.
@@danielgoodman3578Gotta participate in a CMP-sponsored match to qualify iirc. Which, if you don't already have a surplus rifle, basically means rimfire matches. Fairly accessible, but not everyone has the time, patience, or money to participate in a shooting match.
Scott you're an animal but amazing as always. Thanks for the content and glad I subscribed years ago, you never let us down 👍👍
This failure was Epic,and talk about jump scares you get me every time you load up. Lol and as always your intros/outros never disappoint!
Rapid disassembly world record. Well done Sir!
".....YOUR GOING TO BE A GENERAL ONE DAY!"
I'd be curious to see what pressure would cause the failure. The meatballs are always extra spicy, but progressively spicier meatballs would be cool too
Scott always does great videos and as long as stuff blows up no bloke will ever get board!😂😂😂😂
Those surprise booms make my son laugh for a solid 60 seconds each time you have that in a video! Excellent. :D
Feel bad such a classic had to be destroyed. but Science can't be done without sacrifice! It's interesting to see how the Receiver and Barrel basically held together as one part, and how the trigger effectively sheared off the gun! Love your vids as always!
The Army Ordnance Department and the CMP has already verified that 58,000 is the limit. No need for him to ruin a classic military weapon to do this video.
looks like a modern clone, not a historical piece.
@@rogerd777it's a modern clone; they make them to this day. the finish isnt nearly worn enough to be a classic, and Scott would never destroy a real historic piece willingly.
@@rogerd777 it isn't about testing the pressure limit, it is about documenting what a failure could look like with this specific firearm if a spiked cartridge / mis-loaded cartridge were loaded and fired and this is the test criteria because scott is a survivor of a overpressure round turning a large rifle into a near death experience.
@@rogerd777 ODCMP says 100,000 not to mention all others that haven't returned to the states yet.
As a member of the civilian marksmanship program I cried a little when you detonated that beautiful rifle
Yup me too.
“Cried a little?” I’m a member of the CMP and GCA as well, and I’m disgusted. If you haven’t noticed they aren’t exactly making more Garands. This doof should be ashamed of himself. But he’s got like 3.8m subscribers? That just tells me that he hasn’t been pulling crap like this very long or he’d have zero people watching.
@@alantripp6175 heh it was jaming a lot soooo
@@reliantbelial2341that's because of the ammo not the gun. The M1 uses a specific 30-06 round,a regular 30-06 jams in them fairly often. This gun was perfect,was.
@@normalhuman9260 huh i never knew that, rip Canada canon then
The magazine is sensitive to damage. If the bullet feed lips are bent or the magazine release catch is too low, the gun will jam. If they're set up correctly, you'll only have one jam in many hundreds b of bullets.
Scott's laugh is contagious.
Didn’t think I would see this gun go boom 🤯
Love how much your personality has come out since the accident. Also love that we didn't lose u. Happy to see u having fun every wk. ❤
Nobody jams like Scott. Uh-huh. He just got jammed.
Man, when he unloaded with it. Bloody gorgeous.
I knew a guy this happened to. Brand new out of the box Springfield Armory model. Damned near killed him. Blew a piece of the op rod into his brachial artery. Fortunately he survived. Unfortunately he lost his battle with depression and took his own life a couple of years ago. Springfield sent him a new rifle but never did say what happened.
I’d bet it was a barrel obstruction from the factory. May he rest in peace
What a lot of people don't know is that you need to my special 30-06 ammo for the Garand you can't just go to the sporting goods store and by 30-06 there the pressures are too high. It needs to be labeled as M2 ball or specificaly for the M1 Garand.
@@sgibbers17Either that or buy a modified gas port for commercial ammunition.
@@dannyhull8007 I’ve shot nothing but commercial ammo out of my Garand with an adjustable gas plug. 180 gr hunting ammo, 150 gr ball, 165 gr match, and no issues
@@dannyhull8007 Yes. Either way you can not just buy a Garand and put standard 30-06 ammo in it. You need special ammo or use the modified gas port. I'm just glad that a coworker of mine pointed it out to me before I received my Garand.
The fact Scott is wearing his Just Stick A Thumb In It shirt while giving himself Garand Thumb is the bow tie on a neatly packaged gift.
Just watched a few of your older vids. You have come a long way Mr. Scott! Serious improvement in your editing, vid flow, humorous intros and hilarious ads! Good job, keep it up and try not to blow holes in your body again.
Petition for Scott to check out the Winchester 1895!!!!!!!!
