If you are new to our videos, YES, this one might strike you as a bit silly; however, if you have any interest in firearms, firearms history, and firearms safety, check out some of our other videos; you might learn something more useful than how to load an M1 Garand. Welcome aboard! :-) Granted, as has been pointed out, if you get your thumb out of there quickly, you can load successfully without losing your thumb. The main reason this technique I'm showing is taught (And I use it always) is that it saves your thumb whenever you are messing with your M1 Garand, whether you are not getting the bolt back all the way, unloading the rifle, just checking the action, loading a partially loaded clip, etc. Probably most commonly, one gets his or her thumb caught when just working the bolt on an empty chamber, due to not getting the bolt back into the lock position. The Garand is wonderful, but the action and loading system is a bit odd, which results in a better chance of getting "Garand Thumb" in some way when trying to get the gun locked back, loaded, or whatever. I never pull the bolt back unless I have my hand against that operating rod; others can proceed however they prefer. :-) Don't forget to visit the Hickok45 store: www.hickok45.com/store/

If you keep pushing pressure down when loading the clip, it won't bite you until you release pressure. So if you press fairly firm down and quickly remove your hand. You're golden.

Thank you for this great video , Mr. Hickok and Son. I saw movies and some old war films of that odd , hand to the side , loading technique and never knew why. And I always wondered , I know that bolt is sprung hard as heck , how do you load a clip in the gun and not slam your thumb in it. Keep the side of your hand on that bolt lever ,as you load it or smash a part of your hand...understood. The clip flip at the last round is a one of a kind experience. Fantastic American firearm. 4 years later , still a great video.

We used the M1 Garand for target practice in Navy Boot Camp back in the early '70's. We were warned then how to properly load a clip into the rifle. They also said that the Marines would not use the method that Hickok 45 used; but instead would push the clip down and quickly remove it once the clip had been set in. Sometimes they were not quite quick enough and would be initiated into the M1 clipped thumb blood brotherhood. Don't know if that was true, or just our instructors making a point.

This man is the type of person that’ll notice if you make a mistake, kindly and respectfully approach you and tell you your mistake and then help you fix it just to make your day better.

@@amadeus5182 uh, it's unlikely. The Garand's bolt goes foward with a high speed and a high force, so if you leave the thumb there, get ready to feel a great pain. Or you can get tolerance if you get used to getting your thumb pressed against the receiver by the bolt (But in BFV it would be way too weird).

im trying to remember which battle (or even what episode) of the band of brothers series but there's a massive fire fight capturing the chaos of trench style warfare. they actually do show a guy "getting" garand thumb so badly that it looks like it's almost been cut off. other than that, yeah, no one ever shows it in ww2 movies/shows. hell, i'd even take seeing a few guys in the background with bandaged up thumbs as representation of it if it's too difficult to shoot.

Look up Shifty Powers (real life Brother) and his comment on the Garand: (paraphrasing) "I loved the M1. You could throw it into a mud puddle, drag it out and it'd shoot." He should know - he was there, not in his Granny's basement munching a hot pocket and being a keyboard warrior internet badass.

Used to be, we’d bump the stock when one of our team’s inspectors had his thumb in there checking the barrel. M1 thumb. We maintained the M1s from the honor guard, the M14s from the EOD unit, and our own National Match M1As for those of us who shot service rifle competition. Always trying to catch a buddy’s thumb. Seldom succeeded.

I'm glad I came across this video. Life is good and so are thumbs.

Most people got Garand thumv from.messing with empty gun or it being incredibly worn and clean and with worn out clips(modern ww2 examples after heavy use) If it isnt well worn and on top of that is dirty then its incredibly unlikely to close on ones thumb. It will almost always require a little nudge to slide forward just like later in the video
