The blast is enough to blow you over! The loudest noise on the inside was the sound of the empty shell casing bouncing off the turret floor. "CLANG!!!"

    The more I think of it, the more fascinating it becomes to me. There was a real soldier in a real war who shot at real people with it, cared about this rifle, trusted it with his life; may have killed a few people, may have died wielding it himself. This thing is as close to having a soul as an inanimate object can get.

    The first gun I have ever owned was an M1 Garand. It was a gift from my dad. He got it through CMP with brand new walnut and barrel. Most of the other parts are from various periods. But I love it because the receiver serial number, from Sprinfield Armory, is dated to February of 1942 (479815) and I'm a big history buff especially WW2. It is and always will be my favorite gun to shoot and own. Got it late last year for my bday and have already put more than an ammo can through it. I love taking friends to shoot it because it is an experience. Also, bringing it to the range is always fun because a lot of shooters haven't seen one in person so it's great to let them handle one for the first time, unloaded of course. I did also give her a period name for 1942 starting with an M, Marilyn. Edit: I have the same sling on mine. No bayonet though...YET.

An artillery crew was a sought-after target. They were attacked several times. Once at night they had to wait untill the Germans fired at them so they could fire at the muzzle flash...I can understand and appreciate his love for the M1 Garand.

    In WWII Pacific Theater my dad carried a Garand for a short time before getting M1 Carbine for most of his time which included a bunch of front line, fire fights, urban fighting in Manila. He as the the unit that liberated the Santo Thomas concentration camp. Several months ago an auction was held here of the estate of a collector. He had 2 Garands and 2 M1 Carbines. I got one of each. Each are sweet shooters. Not 100% correct but the serial numbers put them in WWII production

    I am always impressed with hickock45's marksmanship, especially when he is shooting a heavy rifle or pistol from the standing position. What a stud! He bangs those targets with outstandig regularity. I know how difficult it is to hit a small target out there near 100 yards if you are standing without a support for the firearm. We should all aspire to hitting the target from different positions with different weights and types of rifles and ammo, because you never know what firearm you will have at hand when the zombies start to roam!

    my father was a WW2 Pacific Marine who survived the "island hoping" campaign of the Marshals and Gilberts fighting on Eniwetoc, Kawojalein, Saipan, Tarawa, and Tinian where he walked guard duty on the Enola Gay while it was getting fitted with the A-bomb. he survived and had three sons, me being the youngest. in his 60's he finally started telling me a little about "the war" and none of it was good. he did talk about how his "M-1" was the best friend the Marines ever had. so i looked around and finally found an original WW2 Springfield and even in 1990 when i bought it for one of dad's birthdays, it was "expensive." my dad just wanted to be away from people when he came home so he and my mother bought a 142 acre farm in rural Northern W.Va. i still own that property. a few years after i gave him the gun, him and i went to a back hayfield and fired for about a half an hour. he showed me how to avoid "M-1 thumb" and i missed pulling my hand away once and the bolt assembly "bit" me. he laughed. we were a Marine Corps family as my older brother did two tours in Vietnam as a Devil Dog and i did 23 years in the Corps. i was actually in the Marines when my dad and I were firing the Garand. best of all, my dad did boot camp at Paris Island and when i graduated at boot camp there, my mom and dad were watching from the grandstands. after we were all "dismissed", we drove around the old barracks area and found my dad's original wooden barracks with lots of weeds around it. Parris Island raised all the original WW2 buildings but not until several years after i was there. me being "a Marine" firing an M-1 with a "WW2 Marine" was a special moment i'll remember till i die.

    I bought one of these last year. It is from 1953 but a garand none the less! I served in the Army for 8 years and was trained/carried the m4. It is amazing to me that when I shoot my garand it acts, smells, recoils etc so similar to the m4 that is miles apart in tech and size. And of course the iron sights are still the same too. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it I guess.
