I think he should use a variety of semi auto rifles and shotguns. I've outrun an AR12 2 or 3 times without trying but when i tried i couldn't do it. I don't think he needs to show a bunch of ARs even though I'm an avid builder and own quite a few. Different guns just in the AR world cycle at different rates due to the bcg weight and buffer system. That alone can make it possible to outrun an AR. Also, having an under gassed AR can induce malfunctions or for an over gassed AR may make it more reliable but will wear out parts alot faster. Everything needs to be balanced and nearly every gun on the market can be improved by mods which is why I prefer to build my guns or buy something nice and fine tune it. It would be a cool series but most midtier out of box ARs won't be outrun but yes it's very possible.
I've done this myself by mistake. Most semi autos that were built originally as semi autos incorporate a safety sear so it doesn't try to fire without the bolt or slide being fully closed. The government bans these safety sears on semi autos that are copies of full auto guns because it makes them easier to convert to full auto. Remington, S&W, any big name company would never make a gun or pistol that didn't incorporate one except in the cases where the government just doesn't let them because they say fuck everyone's safety, a small number of people might make unregistered modifications to their guns. Even pump action firearms almost always contain something to prevent the trigger being pulled too soon but you can't put a similar thing in an evil high capacity assault rifle.
What blows my mind - besides the fact that Jerry is managing to get good solid center mass hits with a 0.13 second split time - is that he can tell just from how it feels that he was 1/100 of a second slower..... That. Is. Insane....... Talk about mastery of your craft. Thanks for the fun video!
I'm not even slightly compareable to Jerry in terms of skill and experience but I can pick up on 1/100 differences most of the time off of feel. Thats not to take away from how legendary jerry is.
you mean what USED to be the "greatest battle implement" Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the M1. It's a great rifle, reliable, accurate, HARD hitting, with LONG legs, and once you put a muzzle brake and an adjustable port plug in it, it is a pure joy to shoot and a GREAT deer rifle! Not to mention that it has the finest production iron sights EVER put on ANY rifle! BUTT, that opening right behind the bolt is a funnel for dirt/mud/sand/rocks and anything else that fits. It will jam super quick if it's dragged through mud. And compared to modern weapons it is bulky, heavy, clunky, and needs reloading way too often. With proper logistics and training it's still a rifle that can be counted on, but these days it will NEVER be able to keep up with the M16 or it's contemporaries.
What is impressive is that the m1 fn heavy and those rounds 30-06 are also massive with ton of kick. And Jerry is still managing to turn that gun into a full auto
Nice profile picture thanks for setting us an example! What exactly does it represent, and what does it represent to you. I know it has roots back to the Prussian days but that's all I know about its history
Adopting Jerry's analytical approach has helped me improve my technique. For years I would substitute sheer repetitions for useful practice. Now with ammo so expensive I'm taking time to analyze each string of fire and figure out what worked and didn't work.
The "hoo-hoo... didn't see that, did you?" moment - thanks for not editing that out. Reassuring to know that even god-level shooters forget the basics from time to time, haha.
I love watching Mr Miculek work through his process. 3:48 Correcting mistakes, thinking what he can do better, and then applying his adjustments in real time.
@@thegooddoctor2009 I have several CMP garands that shoot sub 3 MOA, and one that shoots around 2 MOA, with good reloaded ammunition. Nothing fancy either, bulk bullets and unsorted brass…just a bit of consistency in a reloading process. Bed the stock on one and you’d do significantly better. They are more accurate than you think they are.
I've shot a double at the range that almost sounded like one shot with my '43 Springfield shooting on the bench. If held right (which I did inadvertently), the rifle will recoil into the shoulder then bounce forward, pushing the trigger back into the index finger. I always shoot mil spec M2 ball so definitely not a soft primer/slam fire situation. Unintentional bump fire I guess you could say.
Hooking one’s trigger finger in a belt loop and hip firing will achieve this same effect consistently……if you you learn how hard to push forward with your support hand! 😉
I've done the same with my M1A. Totally by accident. We all know we have to get these rifles snug but sometimes get so concentrated on the fundamentals that getting them properly snug in the shoulder gets overlooked. (At least that's my theory.) Since then it's always a mental check so it doesn't happen again.
Okay, that is incredible. That moment of introspection. Realizing that you were hitting the same pace doing the same thing, so you _changed_ your thinking. That's the hardest thing!
Jerry's slight hiccup at 3:57 there gives an incredible chance to slow playback speed and see each of his movements, gives some great insight into the masters craft
Great video! I love the fact that it is raw and mostly unedited video. Just shows you are human and can just flat get it done. Fantastic....well done. Thanks!
Saw this dude slap/grab two S&W revolvers, fire twelve shots at about twenty feet, into a paper target with all the shots roughly in a six inch group in under two seconds. If I hadn't seen it, I'd never believe anyone could do it.
It’s one thing to be extremely competent with one weapon, or a type of weapon. Hard but doable (and worth it). It’s a completely different thing to be extremely competent with just about anything you pick up. I think I will call that “Jerry level”.
Watching a legend in his element. So controlled and the laughs bring so much fun to watch and listen. World is a better place with people like you mr. Miculek.
It's a beautiful rifle , historical well made and much loved . I get the same feeling when I see a Spitfire fly over . Important equipment that became iconic and more than the sum of their parts . Never forget 👍🇬🇧
It’s predictive recoil compensation via muscle memory. Not the same as flinching. If you wait until you feel the recoil before you start trying to get back on target, you will never get split times even close to being fast.
The fact that you can calculate splits down to within a few hundredths of a second based of of how it feels on your shoulder is equally as impressive as the precision with those double taps. Get sum
What an awesome video from a wonderful, down to earth shooter. Now all we need is for the “zinger firearms manufacturing to label there mouse guns: Jerry tested and Jerry proofed.”
I thought something was wrong here since it was only avalable in 480p. It borders on unwatchable, but I endured because it is Jerry! But yeah, like VHS tape!
You also have to remember the M1 has a two stage trigger. That will slow it down a bit. I am totally in love with my M1's they shoot true as hell! For smaller stuff I use a M77 22-250 but for elk size or better I prefer the M1 over my 7 Mag. I can shoot farther with the M1 with iron sights!
I was kinda hoping for an 8-round string. It seems as though lower splits are easier to get after four or five rounds in a short string. Plus, who wouldn't want to see him do a clip dump with a Garand?
I haven't run my shot timer against my Garand, but I'll just say right now that I'd be tickled pink if I could run low 20s and keep the kind of tight pairs Jerry is hammering out here.
My Uncle served in WW2 from D-Day to Ve Day and carried an M1 when he got home he purchased one from the CMP and he use to shoot it all the time, it was his main hunting weapon. When he would do a clip dump it sounded like yours Mr M. Btw you got really good ears bc you could tell the difference from 1500 to 1400. Lol you really are the best ever. My Respect to you Sir. Thank you for the video its was amazing.
probably no one will ever make a better more reliable accurate semi rifle with iron sights than the M1 Garand. Jerry just shows the fine old tech and design right here in 2022 still as good as any semi auto made today.
Jerry, my friend I think you need more ammo. As always thank you for sharing. You sir are a phenomenon. What skills??!!!!! Jerry you know what General Patton said about the Garande. Thank you sir for sharing.....!!!!!
I would have never have thought of the M1 running like that. Truly a work of art. Noticed the thing didn't close up on his thumb, but yeah, he's just that fast!
How amazing to be able to tell the difference between .014 and .015 on a trigger pull, and then be able to figure out why he's at .15 or .14. JM is the man
Fun fact-the machine gun was invented solely to counter this man on the battlefield, Before 1884 Jerry was responsible for every victory in the history of firearms and warfare. He went by many names and many faces but after single-handedly defeating the Nazis using nothing but a m1 garand and a cap n ball pistol he retired from war rewrote history and now shoots at a relatively leisurely pace as order not to reveal his true power.
The fact that Jerry can tell the difference between these split times before looking at his shot timer is crazy. It’s literally a variation of 3/100s throughout and he knows which ones are “slower.” 😑
Of all the rifles I have. And I have a few AR’s and even a couple old Ruskie AK’s, my M1 is bar far my favorite. Sure, it might be quite a bit of nostalgia. But it’s one my grandad gave my dad, then my dad gave it to me. So to me, it’s priceless.
There is one thing about the m1 that not a lot of people realize, the hammer and the back of the bolt mate up in a way that if the hammer falls before its fully closed is the hammer fits into a notch that "forces" the bolt closed into battery before the hammer can be allowed to touch the fireing pin, it's an ingenious design that i wish the AR had
That's not exactly how it works, nothing of the hammer fits into the notch on the receiver bridge, that's the name of what you're referring to with the notch in it, the receiver bridge. The bolt has to be rotated into its fully closed position for the notch in the bridge to allow the firing pin to go forward enough to contact the primer, the 90° bend at the back of the firing pin is what lines up with the notch in the bridge which allows it to travel all the way forward and strike the primer. In no way shape or form is the hammer supposed to force the bolt into it's firing position, the bevel you see on the edge of the notch in the receiver bridge is there for when the bolt rotates OUT of it's firing position when it's cycling, it drags the edge of the 90° bend at the end of the firing pin out of the notch by it traveling on that bevel, without that little bevel it'd want to break the bridge or the bent end off of the end of the firing pin, you're thinking that bevel is there to force everything into place, it's not, it's for when it's rotating out of "battery" when it's cycling. The M1 was not designed in any way shape or form to have the trigger fall before the bolt is forward and fully rotated into battery, the concept being that no one should be able to pull the trigger fast enough to drop the hammer before the bolt is fully rotated into battery, the Army wasn't training trick shot artists, that's why a service grade M1 has a 7 pound or so minimum trigger pull and a match grade M1 has a minimum of 4.5 lbs, it's for that exact reason that at match shoots when they check your weapon they put a trigger scale on it and if it's less than 4.5 pounds they won't let you on the range, it's unsafe firing one with less than 4.5 lbs trigger pull. The Army wasn't training trick shot artists, even with the selector switch installed on the M14 the link rod that hooks into the notch on the front of the exposed part of an M14's operating rod is there to disconnect the sear during full auto cycling once the operating rod is fully forward and therefore the bolt is fully rotated into battery. No, the notch in the receiver bridge is not there for the sake of the hammer forcing the bolt forward, the hammer should never drop on a bolt that isn't already fully rotated into battery, that notch is a fail safe in the event that for some reason the hammer should fall before the bolt is fully in battery, he's actually incorrect at the beginning of the video when he states that the hammer can't contact the firing pin if the hammer falls before the bolt is all the way forward, it will contact the firing pin, but the firing pin can't contact the primer because the 90° bend at the back of it isn't lined up with the notch in the receiver bridge. Please don't attempt to fire your M1 in the fashion he does, they weren't designed to do this and damage can happen to something internally that could negate the notch/firing pin safety feature of an M1, please don't, these weapons were not designed for trick shooting like this, it's very hard on them and guy's who do this screw several of them up in the learning process, breaking the end off the firing pin is one thing but if you break the receiver bridge or you bust a little piece out of that notch then you completely negate that fail safe and the receiver is trashed, after that if you drop the hammer on a bolt that isn't all the way forward than if either the 90° bend is broken off of the firing pin or the receiver bridge or that notch is damaged a doctor is going to be picking pieces of your favorite rifle out of your face. Neither the end of the firing pin nor the receiver bridge notch is designed to be hammered away on all the time, and this guy should explain the dangers of screwing up a perfectly fine M1doing this type of thing with one. Talk to any M1/M14 gunsmith about this and they'll explain to you exactly what I just did. DON'T DO THIS WITH ONE!!!
@@dukecraig2402 well im not quite sure what that part was called I just know the hammer fits into a notch and it helped me fire a round that wasn't under the extractor, it slammed the bolt forward over the round. I must of eased the bolt forward and tried to fire in this way, apon further inspection I noticed this notch in the back of the bolt that mates up with the hammer and assumed this was it's function or at least one of them
@@Timber_LXG_5 Nope, that's a safety feature in the event that something happens like a part breaks in the trigger assembly and the hammer follows the bolt forward. The guy in this video really should warn people that attempting to fire one this way could lead to seriously damaging an M1, like I said if the receiver bridge or the window in it breaks the receiver is trashed, the gunsmiths that work on M1's and M14's always strongly caution people against trying stuff like this because it could lead to not only trashing your receiver but could also possibly lead to having one of these blow up in your face, they weren't designed to do this.
A rifle that is super know to shoot off non mil spec primers is the SKS. If you’re not using mil spec primers/ammo, AKs ways make sure the rifle stays pointed down range when charging. I have seen rounds cook off before just by charging it. That’s why I like using cheap Chinese surplus ammo on my SKS. Gotta clean it more, but it’s safer.
Can someone explain what he was talking about with the dummy rounds? If he loaded them with a bullet and primer but no powder, wouldn’t they just cause a squib? How is it useful to have 1 live round on top and 7 dummies beneath it? I didn’t see this demonstrated in the video.
Mr. Garande knew what he was doing. But Jerry is pretty quick shooting 30-06 at those splits . Just what Ukraine need now a bunch of folks that can shoot 13/100 sec splits on target.
He calls... oh that was a 15/100 then shoots again and can tell his next shot was faster and it was 13/100!. Wow! Talk about a pro and the world's fastest.
Mr. Jerry, Still playing catch up on your wonderful collection of videos!! What would we have to pay someone else for all this expertise you bring to the range, AND share with us!! To echo some previous comments, So Appreciate your constant attn. to Safety First!!! That said, sure enjoy watching the master shooter/legend putting the legendary Garand thru it's paces! That is something non-shooters need to understand, the Shooting Sports are a Ton of Fun!! Hope they ck. out your vids.! God Bless you and yours, keep these goodies coming! Resp. Yrs, gg
I can imagine what would happen if someone was dumb enough to break into Jerry's house while he is home. After dropping 3 robbers in 2.1 seconds, Jerry would say " That took too long so stand back up so I can try that again."
"the finest batle rifle ever devised" -Gen. Patton "US caliber .30: air-cooled, gas-operated, clip-fed, semi-automatic shoulder weapon" (is he telling us the 11 was a fluke?)
Just for sport .... we used to place a paper match between the sear pin and the catch. The M1 Garand would fire full automatic, but only for between 3 to 5 rounds before jamming. I don't recommend it because you can't stop the firing process after the 1st round is fired. In other words, until it jams it will fire every round in the clip. The rifle was never meant to be used this way due to the manufactured "bend" in the operating rod, which is the only way the rifle will operate. They are unbelievably accurate with a minimum of "smithing".
This concept should totally be a new series! Just testing a variety of semi-autos to see if they're "Jerry Proof"
Yeah! 🤘🏼🤘🏼
I think he should use a variety of semi auto rifles and shotguns. I've outrun an AR12 2 or 3 times without trying but when i tried i couldn't do it. I don't think he needs to show a bunch of ARs even though I'm an avid builder and own quite a few.
Different guns just in the AR world cycle at different rates due to the bcg weight and buffer system. That alone can make it possible to outrun an AR. Also, having an under gassed AR can induce malfunctions or for an over gassed AR may make it more reliable but will wear out parts alot faster. Everything needs to be balanced and nearly every gun on the market can be improved by mods which is why I prefer to build my guns or buy something nice and fine tune it.
It would be a cool series but most midtier out of box ARs won't be outrun but yes it's very possible.
I've done this myself by mistake. Most semi autos that were built originally as semi autos incorporate a safety sear so it doesn't try to fire without the bolt or slide being fully closed. The government bans these safety sears on semi autos that are copies of full auto guns because it makes them easier to convert to full auto.
Remington, S&W, any big name company would never make a gun or pistol that didn't incorporate one except in the cases where the government just doesn't let them because they say fuck everyone's safety, a small number of people might make unregistered modifications to their guns.
Even pump action firearms almost always contain something to prevent the trigger being pulled too soon but you can't put a similar thing in an evil high capacity assault rifle.
I support it
YES!!!!!
What blows my mind - besides the fact that Jerry is managing to get good solid center mass hits with a 0.13 second split time - is that he can tell just from how it feels that he was 1/100 of a second slower..... That. Is. Insane....... Talk about mastery of your craft. Thanks for the fun video!
Jerry has fired hundreds of thousands of rounds in his life. He can probably feel the difference in a gun in his sleep. The man is a living legend!

Came to say the same. Incredible.
Seeing the "Greatest battle implement ever devised" handled by the greatest shooter ever devised is a beautiful thing!
Thanks Jerry.
you mean what USED to be the "greatest battle implement"
Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the M1. It's a great rifle, reliable, accurate, HARD hitting, with LONG legs, and once you put a muzzle brake and an adjustable port plug in it, it is a pure joy to shoot and a GREAT deer rifle! Not to mention that it has the finest production iron sights EVER put on ANY rifle!
BUTT, that opening right behind the bolt is a funnel for dirt/mud/sand/rocks and anything else that fits. It will jam super quick if it's dragged through mud. And compared to modern weapons it is bulky, heavy, clunky, and needs reloading way too often.
With proper logistics and training it's still a rifle that can be counted on, but these days it will NEVER be able to keep up with the M16 or it's contemporaries.

The fact that Jerry can tell the difference between these split times before looking at his shot timer is crazy. It’s literally a variation of 3/100s throughout and he knows which ones are “slower.” 😑
Right! His version of "slower" is me thinking "blazing fast!!".
Of all the rifles I have. And I have a few AR’s and even a couple old Ruskie AK’s, my M1 is bar far my favorite. Sure, it might be quite a bit of nostalgia. But it’s one my grandad gave my dad, then my dad gave it to me. So to me, it’s priceless.

Great video, always good to watch. Many thanks 👌
There is one thing about the m1 that not a lot of people realize, the hammer and the back of the bolt mate up in a way that if the hammer falls before its fully closed is the hammer fits into a notch that "forces" the bolt closed into battery before the hammer can be allowed to touch the fireing pin, it's an ingenious design that i wish the AR had
That's not exactly how it works, nothing of the hammer fits into the notch on the receiver bridge, that's the name of what you're referring to with the notch in it, the receiver bridge.
The bolt has to be rotated into its fully closed position for the notch in the bridge to allow the firing pin to go forward enough to contact the primer, the 90° bend at the back of the firing pin is what lines up with the notch in the bridge which allows it to travel all the way forward and strike the primer.
In no way shape or form is the hammer supposed to force the bolt into it's firing position, the bevel you see on the edge of the notch in the receiver bridge is there for when the bolt rotates OUT of it's firing position when it's cycling, it drags the edge of the 90° bend at the end of the firing pin out of the notch by it traveling on that bevel, without that little bevel it'd want to break the bridge or the bent end off of the end of the firing pin, you're thinking that bevel is there to force everything into place, it's not, it's for when it's rotating out of "battery" when it's cycling.
The M1 was not designed in any way shape or form to have the trigger fall before the bolt is forward and fully rotated into battery, the concept being that no one should be able to pull the trigger fast enough to drop the hammer before the bolt is fully rotated into battery, the Army wasn't training trick shot artists, that's why a service grade M1 has a 7 pound or so minimum trigger pull and a match grade M1 has a minimum of 4.5 lbs, it's for that exact reason that at match shoots when they check your weapon they put a trigger scale on it and if it's less than 4.5 pounds they won't let you on the range, it's unsafe firing one with less than 4.5 lbs trigger pull.
The Army wasn't training trick shot artists, even with the selector switch installed on the M14 the link rod that hooks into the notch on the front of the exposed part of an M14's operating rod is there to disconnect the sear during full auto cycling once the operating rod is fully forward and therefore the bolt is fully rotated into battery.
No, the notch in the receiver bridge is not there for the sake of the hammer forcing the bolt forward, the hammer should never drop on a bolt that isn't already fully rotated into battery, that notch is a fail safe in the event that for some reason the hammer should fall before the bolt is fully in battery, he's actually incorrect at the beginning of the video when he states that the hammer can't contact the firing pin if the hammer falls before the bolt is all the way forward, it will contact the firing pin, but the firing pin can't contact the primer because the 90° bend at the back of it isn't lined up with the notch in the receiver bridge.
Please don't attempt to fire your M1 in the fashion he does, they weren't designed to do this and damage can happen to something internally that could negate the notch/firing pin safety feature of an M1, please don't, these weapons were not designed for trick shooting like this, it's very hard on them and guy's who do this screw several of them up in the learning process, breaking the end off the firing pin is one thing but if you break the receiver bridge or you bust a little piece out of that notch then you completely negate that fail safe and the receiver is trashed, after that if you drop the hammer on a bolt that isn't all the way forward than if either the 90° bend is broken off of the firing pin or the receiver bridge or that notch is damaged a doctor is going to be picking pieces of your favorite rifle out of your face.
Neither the end of the firing pin nor the receiver bridge notch is designed to be hammered away on all the time, and this guy should explain the dangers of screwing up a perfectly fine M1doing this type of thing with one.
Talk to any M1/M14 gunsmith about this and they'll explain to you exactly what I just did.
DON'T DO THIS WITH ONE!!!
@@dukecraig2402 well im not quite sure what that part was called I just know the hammer fits into a notch and it helped me fire a round that wasn't under the extractor, it slammed the bolt forward over the round. I must of eased the bolt forward and tried to fire in this way, apon further inspection I noticed this notch in the back of the bolt that mates up with the hammer and assumed this was it's function or at least one of them
@@Timber_LXG_5
Nope, that's a safety feature in the event that something happens like a part breaks in the trigger assembly and the hammer follows the bolt forward.
The guy in this video really should warn people that attempting to fire one this way could lead to seriously damaging an M1, like I said if the receiver bridge or the window in it breaks the receiver is trashed, the gunsmiths that work on M1's and M14's always strongly caution people against trying stuff like this because it could lead to not only trashing your receiver but could also possibly lead to having one of these blow up in your face, they weren't designed to do this.
Yep, they are a lot of fun. Thanks for sharing!
Every time I watch any of Jerry's videos I bruise my chin since it hits the floor every time since my jaw drops at his skill. He is amazing.

Do not use American Eagle designed specifically for M1. Multiple slam fires loading up. Very dangerous. Big warning on the ammo with correct primer

It's nice to see that one can have a flinch but still shoot very well, unlike what many 'pros' state.
That's my Jerry never give up 🐝
Jerry, you still have it. Long live the M-1 Garand.and Jerry Miculek.
A rifle that is super know to shoot off non mil spec primers is the SKS. If you’re not using mil spec primers/ammo, AKs ways make sure the rifle stays pointed down range when charging. I have seen rounds cook off before just by charging it. That’s why I like using cheap Chinese surplus ammo on my SKS. Gotta clean it more, but it’s safer.

The Russians might have numbers… but we have Jerry!
Thank you, Sir,
Jerry and the Garrand both are reliable and proven.
Enough Said...
Can someone explain what he was talking about with the dummy rounds? If he loaded them with a bullet and primer but no powder, wouldn’t they just cause a squib? How is it useful to have 1 live round on top and 7 dummies beneath it? I didn’t see this demonstrated in the video.
Mr. Garande knew what he was doing. But Jerry is pretty quick shooting 30-06 at those splits . Just what Ukraine need now a bunch of folks that can shoot 13/100 sec splits on target.
He calls... oh that was a 15/100 then shoots again and can tell his next shot was faster and it was 13/100!. Wow! Talk about a pro and the world's fastest.
Love your stuff good to see you all !👍👍👍♥️♥️🇺🇸
I'm just here for the *ping*
why is the max resolution of this video 480? Are the other viewers seeing this in max 480 only?
not just you. I was going to ask when this was filmed
Everyone flinches, even one of the greatest shooters of all time.
Was I the only one amazed to hear the words "It's my trigger finger holding it up" come out of Jerry's mouth?

Jerry is a bolt of lightning in a human costume.
Mr. Jerry, Still playing catch up on your wonderful collection of videos!! What would we have to pay someone else for all this expertise you bring to the range, AND share with us!! To echo some previous comments, So Appreciate your constant attn. to Safety First!!!

I can imagine what would happen if someone was dumb enough to break into Jerry's house while he is home. After dropping 3 robbers in 2.1 seconds, Jerry would say " That took too long so stand back up so I can try that again."
What’s a M1 garand-de? Sounds like a burrito
The clips are like bullet tacos.
Epic weapon. My Montagnard troops called it the 'shoots far rifle'.

Great demonstration , great rifle , great shooter !!!…..
Glad to see the man live and well!
3:52 haha whenever I would have a malfunction and did this it would remind me why I’m missing my shots.
Your pretty fast for an old man. Lol. Good shooting sir. Thanks for sharing
The automatic (for a brief time) M1 - czcams.com/video/kvOEvodRMKs/video.html
This is and will always be the sexiest and baddest ass rifle on the planet.
Very interesting video! Love the ol' M1.
God bless all here.
Sir do you need a new grandson? I learned a lot from you. God bless America, you and your family
Holy smoke, Jerry managed to tame this M1 Garand, I didn't see it kicked a bit!
Just Jerry, doin Jerry things. Awesome!

"the finest batle rifle ever devised" -Gen. Patton "US caliber .30: air-cooled, gas-operated, clip-fed, semi-automatic shoulder weapon" (is he telling us the 11 was a fluke?)
Just for sport .... we used to place a paper match between the sear pin and the catch. The M1 Garand would fire full automatic, but only for between 3 to 5 rounds before jamming. I don't recommend it because you can't stop the firing process after the 1st round is fired. In other words, until it jams it will fire every round in the clip. The rifle was never meant to be used this way due to the manufactured "bend" in the operating rod, which is the only way the rifle will operate. They are unbelievably accurate with a minimum of "smithing".
