- There’s no question the M1 Garand is still cherished by collectors and shooting enthusiasts alike. But is it still relevant today? How well has it stood the test of time? Let’s take a closer look

I saw an interview with a ww2 veteran and he was asked about the weight. He looked at the interviewer like he was an idiot and said, I was 19 and never even thought about it.
I just bought one! My local gun shop had it for weeks. I wasn’t even looking to buy anything but the instant I saw it, I had to have it. Bought it without even thinking! The serial number place it between February to November 1944, produced by Springfield Armory. Of course, the furniture, various parts like the barrel, op rod and risers was replaced and rearmored more than once throughout the past 80 years but damn it! Can’t wait! Once I get my en block in, I’m gonna do the iconic “pinnnnnnggggg”!
My favorite firearm in my collection is my CMP field grade M1 Garand from Aug 1944; truly the greatest battle implement ever devised.
Someone should make reproductions so we can keep the M1 alive and at a reasonable price. The CMP rifles will dry up eventually.
Any reproduction would easily end up being 3k plus
There are reproductions.
My late grandpa loved it.
THE RIFLEMANS RIFLE
Love you guys; I bought my first gun (TISAS 1911A1) from you. My current goal is to get my concealed carry license so I can buy one of these beauties from the CMP. Never let the Garand die.
Compared to what it replaced, which was the 1903 Springfield, it's not really that heavy. The 1903 weighed in at 8.7 pounds. Bolt action. 9 5 semi-auto is not bad. We are spoiled today. Our fathers never had a lightweight rifle to use in combat.
A man’s rifle.
A manly man
Just got a Late Production Springfield M1, receiver serial indicates made in 1955
IT IS THE GREASTS OF ALL TIME THE BERETTA E MODEL WHICH SHOULD STILL BE IN USE IN OUR MLITARY IS 2NR GREATEST
I’ve killed three deer with mine. It could still play a very limited military role if needed ( I said could not should). The weapon is just pure quality in every part and every way. I will die before I give mine up.
I carried one for two years. I.S.Army.
Thought that was Jonah Hill until he moved his face from the gun lol
Why ‘you’ would argue this is one of the greatest battle rifles to ever serve in the US military … you?
Who are you again?
Did it ping too loud or not?
You could never hear the ping over the noise of a battle.
We need a remake version again!
Ping!
How do I would buy one, join a club or something?
No just know where to look and buy it like any other rifle
Or get extremely lucky! Was wanting one for ages now, but prices on Gunbroker was just like WTF?!? Then lol and behold, was at my local gun store, wasn’t even looking to buy anything but they had a Garand sitting there for three weeks now for $1,700! Bought it without even thinking! Brought it home, based on its serial number, it’s a Springfield Armory one built between February to November 1944! So yeah, boy did I got lucky! Of course, through its 80 years history, its furniture, op rod, riser etc got replaced, refurbished or refitted, probably multiple times, hence why it’s in such great condition! Immediately went online, bought it a sling, two en blocks, and 20 rds of Garand 30-06, can’t wait to insert the en block in for that iconic “pinnnng”
800 rounds through a Garand is a bit abusive? Don't tell my M1 that.
I think he was talking about being abusive to himself and his shoulder rather than the weapon. 🙂
too bad our troops can't use it now
The M1 is still relevant.
Why choose the 1940's Garrand for the competition instead of the M1A1 target rifle?
Why not?
Nothing in particular just the M1A1 might be more suitable imho.@@davidbell1619
Please show us your thums . I mashed my thums atlase 1 or 2 times a year with mine.
Remake the M1 Garand in other calibers.
they already did that, but people don't care
@@hoppinggnomethe4154 I want it in .308
They chambered some in 308
it is french RSC rifle, improved sure but it is ww1 rifle
