Restoring WW2 1944 Winchester M1 Garand, (with test fire)

Ойын-сауық

#restoration #m1garand #ww2
Restoring a iconic 1944 WW2 M1 garand found underwater, (with test fire). The story behind this rifle is a little odd. So here is what I know, Back in the 1980's there was a man scuba diving in the Red River in North Dakota. He found this M1 garand and displayed it in his scuba shop. Many years later someone else acquired it. After they had it for awhile they messaged me and asked if I wanted to try and restore it. Now here we are, I hope you enjoy the video.

    You have a lot of good videos, but this is hands down, one of if not the best... kudos. You should be proud of this one, and it deserves to go viral. You should ask Demolition Ranch and Brandon Herrera if either of them would be interested in sharing it out on their socials for you... they might do it, and you'd get several million views, and probably a shitload of new subscribers.

    I was trained on using the M-1 Garand when I served in the US Navy Sea Bees in the late 50s. I will never forget something that happened during one of the training sessions. We were in a large room and being taught to take down and clean the M-1. As each piece was being taken down, the instructor would explain methods and functions. He was talking about taking the front section apart and I remember something like, "what ever you do, do not take the" and there was a loud TWANG behind me. Of course everyone turned around to see what made the noise, and this long spring was stuck in a ceiling tile hanging down and sort of still dancing around a bit. I cannot remember the fellow who did that but it was one of the more humorous times that come to mind when viewing a video such as yours.

    First off, good job! Second, I did a little digging on some of the “pull numbers”, and it looks like you have a Frankenstein m1 garand (which there isn’t anything wrong with that). It just helps explain the story. An example of this, is the trigger housing being made by Springfield (528290-SA Type 13, which was in production from January/1955 to December/1957). I can’t read the serial for the receiver, but I’m thinking this might be a post Korea war m1. Besides the trigger housing, the rear sight is the T105E1 version. The DRC markings are made by a company called “Druge Brothers Manufacturing Co”, which were common on the Springfield Garands. WW2 rear sights had a “lock bar”, which this one does not. What I’m thinking, after the Korea war, these M1 Garands were collected, and eventually placed on the DMC program (which is pretty much like the CMP civilian marksmen program today). Before these rifles are placed on the market, the program would rebuild these m1 Garands if there were any parts that were too warn or broken. I’m thinking this M1 was marked as a field grade, meaning they fixed it to make it usable. There are different grading, but this particular one probably sold between 450 to 700 USD bucks back then. No other country had a program like this. It was very common to mix match brands within the program.. I’m thinking this rifle was obtained there. When these M1 first appeared in the DMC program, not many were sold. It didn’t start picking up until the mid 70s. How it was found in a river I’m thinking this was in the water for five-ish years, definitely not a decade. Anymore, the water would have completely eaten the metal and wood stock. It would be cool if you can provide other numbers from the m1 Garand. Then I can provide more info on the parts. The only “serial number” is on the receiver. Any other numbers on any of the parts, are draw numbers, which tells you who made the, where, and what timeframe they were in production. 😊 Also, is there a “P” on the pistol grip of the stock? That will tell you if the stock is original. It’s an inspection stamp.

    It's a Winchester then ot was made during WWII when they had the contract. As to cost in the 80s they weren't cheap on the civilian ma4ket, not until surplus titles cqme 8n from Aouth Korea. Mine was 289 in 1989. dcm/cmp rifles were even cheaper. I believe 180 from the 1970s well into the 80s. But you were only allowed to purchase one rifle in your lifetime. I know the price was 310 in 1997 qnd 400 in 1998 and 500 8n June 2000.. Since then thy went to 750 for a rack grade through 1300+ for specials. The civilian marksmanship program is still selling rifles and currently has US surplus m2 ball in stock. For the price 9f a rack grade you could do worse?

    This was a pretty good video. Most people would not try what you accomplished. As a Garand owner for many moons, I would like to suggest that you NEVER fire it again. If you do--PLEASE replace the safety lever, as the installed one is lacking the small "hook" at the top that grabs the hammer and prevents it falling. IT WILL NOT WORK AS A SAFETY. Also, you have severe chamber pitting which causes the firing case to expand to fill the void. That's why it did not extract. This is the BEST restoration I have seen tonight, as the other three were butcher jobs, so I will subscribe. BE CAREFUL, please.

    ​@@greggrace967My hunch is hunters crossing the river and the boat overturned or it somehow fell out of the boat. There's a possibility it was stolen and tossed in I guess but if that was the case then the S/N would be on file. Fell in off a overturned boat unlikely as few guys would think about hiring a dive team to retrieve it.

    I was in the US Army Infantry from1958-1964 I carried that weapon for about 3 years before it was replaced with the M14 in my outfit in 1961 I also carried the BAR and the 30 cal light machine gun till it was replaced by the M60 Machine gun. But that steel butt plate sure made a lot of bruises on my shoulder. The M1 Garand was awful heavy 9.5 lbs and the Bar 19.5 lb empty. You did a fantastic job or restoring it.

    @@TheKinzlerBros Personally I never liked the M1 Garand it was heavy and held only 8 rounds when it got cold the operating handle had a hard time coming back because of the slide bar not having a wheel like the M14 did a many times I had to catch the operating handle on a tree to get it to open and I often poured oil down the barrel to get it to operate properly and if it got dirty from firing the cartridge broke off at the back and had to be removed with an extractor. and that damn thing rusted fast as you cleaned it especially the butt plate. I used to have a joke and said when I get out of the Army. I was going to buy a M1 Garand and piss on it every day then give myself a 3 -day pass.

    Great work 👍 It has been a long time since I've had an M1 Garand in my hands. What a Rifle! I'm glad it was fished out of the river, and it was eventually brought to you for excellent restoration. Since the chamber is so pitted and so are other parts it's a very cool Wall Hanger....... AAARRGGG!!!! BLASPHEMY!!! I can hear the snarling of creatures and gnashing of their teeth!!! It's a fact, Gentleman. It's a great bloody pat on the back miracle it is "here"! Let the owner decide... Best option is fill bore from the chamber with Cerro Safe or plain lead, and also, drill through the gas piston ring and push a pin through, locking it all together and TIG it in place. Would not be an inglorious end..... I'd be proud to have it in a walnut and glass case, hanging on the wall with an M5 cutdown bayonet in similar condition, 1/2" stencil on a wood slat: " U.S. RIFLE, CAL. .30, M1".

    Great video and excellent work. Just a side note, the garand requires a light coating of gun grease on the rails (should help it cycle better) and the expanding cartridges may be because the garand requires a lower pressure round (M2 ball) as opposed to the factory 30-06 rounds that you find on the shelf today.

He said "a gun quality lathe has to have zero vibrations, and remain perfectly still, as you cut the bore. He said that guna quality lathe he wanted was over $100,000. Nedless to say, he never got that lathe. But, if you have a gun-quality lathe, you can build barrels for guns
