How to load the M1 Garand the US Army way

Спорт

Dad served in the 77th infantry division during WWII. Later in life he taught me how to operate the M1 Garand rifle. Now I will share a few tricks with you. There are 3 ways to load it, from 1 round to as many as 8. Also I add a reloaders trick to protect my brass and make the gun a bolt action. Check out my other gun videos. Thanks for watching!
Edit, Many questions on this: I used an A-ZOOM snap cap to show loading of a single round. When I show the other ways, I specially loaded 30-06 rounds WITHOUT powder or primer. I'm a re-loader so I rarely purchase ammunition. Sorry not to point that out in the video.

Can you tell me exactly what happens to the gun when it gets cold? What do you mean "so it will cycle"? I'm trying to learn as much as I can about my Dad's experience since he (like most other infantry soldiers) never talked about it and now that he's gone it's too late to ask the questions.

He and two other guys he threw on a chow truck and charged through the Chinese were the only ones to survive out of his entire company. He got shot to shit but survived. When I showed him my first M1 rifle he held it, shouldered it, looked me straight in the eyes and said, "The ONLY reason you are here is because of a rifle like this one." Didn't know that trick of loading the clip in straight up! Thanks again! My ALL time favorite rifle, the M1!!!

    I was 14 when my best friend's dad got an M1. he was afraid to work the action at all due to his fear of M1 thumb. my best friend's grandpa was a WWII vet, and so is mine, and I'd never done it before this, but I'd seen my grandpa do it countless times. palm the handle, push follower down with thumb, move thumb out of the way while keeping pressure on handle, and finally let fly the handle. was like instinct the first time I did it. best friend's dad was pretty amazed. his grandpa did it the same way, just as mine. his grandpa passed away years before this happened, but I was lucky enough to have mine, and still do. have to show everyone that comes over and sees the collection how to do this now, because you can't be a true gun enthusiast without a little respect and admiration to the M1 Garand.

    Back in the mid 80's I had my dad's M1 at a range not really thinking about anything other than having fun with various weapons. I got to the M1 and emptied the clip with the associated sound of freedom. An elderly gentleman walked over from a couple of tables down almost in a trance. I was 19 so it really didn't register what was happening. Turns out the guy was a Korean war vet and that's what he obviously carried. It was also obvious that while we were in Virginia, his mind was elsewhere. He handled that rifle with a reverence that few would understand. He fired off a clip and was borderline tears.

    People who try to take these from us cry 'gun fetish' this and 'macho man toxic fantasy' or 'murder romanticism', but the truth is that when these guys were out at war with them, this is sometimes the only friend that they could ever bring back from battle. Not everyone got attached like that. But some people, these rifles... for them, it was their only comfort in a world that had fallen apart around them. Beautiful pieces, even more beautiful stories behind them. If you've never at least felt the melancholy feeling that comes with thinking about that, you'll never be able to appreciate those stories.

    Appreciate the info. It's all the more special when it comes from an ancestor or parent. My grandfather served in Africa and Italy and even met Ike. The general sat down right next to grandpa in the field and started asking him how the war was going; sorts of questions an enlisted man wouldn't ask. That's when grandpa looked at the newcomer and realized that he, a sergeant, had been shooting the breeze with a man with stars on his helmet. Just one of many stories from the field, like how the local tribesmen would sneak up behind you at night and check your boot lacings: if you tied your boots like an Italian or German, you got your throat cut. Nothing like those stories.

    In the Pacific, I think it was the citizens of the Philippines that would feel the back of your hair at night to check if you were either a Japanese soldier or a U.S Marine. Apparently, Japanese hair is more coarse than American. Must've been weird every now and then to feel a quick rush of air on the back of your neck, knowing you were being checked.

    He was a Supply Sergeant to my understanding and I don't know of any combat stories. Apparently, according to my father's retelling of the stories, the tribesmen, (Arabs I think), would surround an encampment at night and look over the soldiers shoulders. Apparently they were familiar with the differences between Allied and Axis footwear and in the glow of the fire would choose to either kill or announce themselves based on lacing style. One would say, "American" and the encampment would about jump out of their skins, realizing they were surrounded, as if by ghosts. Other than that, one story was of how the unit was ordered to dig in, but the ground was so hard that the men just disturbed the top of the ground enough to say they had "dug in". That same night the Germans began the longest artillery barrage of the campaign, if not war, and by morning the men were using ladders and buckets, they had dug so deep. The last bit I can remember was the culture shock of Italy, were grown men and women alike didn't use out houses or toilets, but if they had to go in this particular town, the citizens would just squat in the gutters next to the roads, right in front of you. This practice probably doesn't continue today, but a professor of mine was from Milan and noted how primitive or corrupt much of Europe is relative to America. Only so much has changed.

    Thank you for a very good video. My dad served in the Navy during the Aleutian invasions on an attack transport driving a landing craft. I heard many stories. He taught my brother and I gun safety at a very young age. My best memories with his Garand was on the 100 yard range where I lay prone on the shooting bench. Many of the WWII vets would gather and ask him "Hey, are you really going to let the kid shoot that?" "Sure, watch this. Go ahead... ". Then I would load it, take aim, and put every round in the black. Some guys watched with spotting scopes. After the last ping, I really enjoyed watching those guy's jaws drop. I really amazed them. That was in 1959 when I was 6 years old! And then it was my job to strip it and clean it, reassemble it every time we got home from the range. Grampa gave my son his 1911 .45 pistol just before he passed away in 2002. I know you and I will never forget our dads.

    You're the only one shooting? And the enemy is not shooting? So they can hear the sound of your clip exiting the rifle. In a shooting war there is a lot of NOISE going on! Unless all your comrades run out at the same time and the enemy knows when you are going to 'ping', they stop firing just before the 'ping' so they can hear the 'ping'? What an absurd scenario.

    @@glennthomas7435 yeah in a big battle there's a lot of noise, but in a close quarter skirmish, let's say in the same building/trench, the enemy could have heard the ping. In a 1vs1 scenario, that it was very uncommon, but not implausible in WWII, the ping was clearly a disadvantage. But being the best standard rifle in the war quite compensated this problem.

    I’ve always loved this rifle. The first time I ever saw it was in Jaws when Brody used one to shoot the scuba tank. It’s the rifle I covet the most out of all other rifles. And who could forget the iconic ping. The definition of unforgettable.

    My father in law, a Cajun from Louisiana, also served in the 77th, which was the "Statue of Liberty Division", as it was organized for WWI of draftees mostly from New York and New Jersey. It was the first WWI division made up of draftees, and the seventh division sent to France in WWI. Regiments from the 77th made up the famous "Lost Battalion" on the western front. They sustained over 10,000 casualties in WWI. It was deactivated after the war, and reactivated for WWII, with the same 'Statue of Liberty' patch. The 77th would sustain over 9,000 casualties in WWII. My Father in Law, joined the division in the Philippians after the Japanese were defeated there. His first combat was Okinawa. He was a BAR man, so your M1 video doesn't apply to his experience. He was awarded the Bronze Star V, and the Purple Heart, wounded at the Maeda Escarpments, (Hacksaw Ridge) of the recent movie fame. He didn't know the name of the place then, he told me he didn't know were he was the whole time he was on the island. He learned all these names reading about it as an old man. He never used the term 'Hacksaw Ridge." He remembered climbing the rope latter they got from the Navy to fight. Then those who were still alive, climbed down for relief. He also told me of sharing a tent in the Philippians with a Seventh Day Adventists, who he remembered some guys making fun of, and who later was awarded the medal of honor, named Desmond Doss. He told me this information in the 1990's way before the famous movie. The two met at the D-Day Museum in New Orleans at the opening of the Pacific theater. Doss was older and very feeble, his wife or companion did all his talking. Maybe Doss worked on my FIL when he was wounded. My father in law's company was held in reserve for a long time on a troop ship, the battle had been going on for weeks (he believed) before he was sent ashore. He remembered sneaking on deck because it was so hot and crowded below and he was afraid of drowning in a sinking ship. He saw first hand the Kamikaze attacks and was very relieved to get ashore, although he didn't know what he was getting into. Since his company got to the fight so late, their job was to patrol for bypassed japs on their way to the front to join the rest of the division; which is where he earned the Bronze Star. They found a large group of bypassed jap soldiers, who were apparently feeling unusually safe standing outside of the mouth of a cave. He and another BAR man were ordered to jump out from hiding and kill as many as they could before they could retreat back into the cave. Which is what they did, and he described a horrible scene of those big 30.06 rounds hitting bodies from close range, as they shot from the hip, reloaded, closed and fired some more. He said the jabs were tripping over themselves, body parts, blood and the dead and wounded. They closed to the mouth of the cave, standing among the carnage, and fired into the darkness, when a large explosion from within blew them both on their asses. He cried everyday in his later years reliving those horrors. At the time we had not heard of PTSD. He had never told anyone the details of those days, not even his sons. I think he told me, because when I entered the family I was on active duty in the Navy. He also never got anything from the VA after his discharge, although he was recalled for Korea, but not sent to war when they found out he still had jap shrapnel in his back. I thought you might like to hear a little of the 77th.
