I inherited my grandfather's M1 Garand that he purchased from the US Army after he left Korea. I learned how to shoot with that rifle as a kid and because of his guidance I became quite a marksman and qualified EXPERT at the rifle range when I joined the US Marine Corps in 1983. My grandfather warned me early on about "Garand Thumb" and showed me the proper way of loading a clip into the magazine. It took me getting my thumb jammed in the bolt one time for me to learn my lesson. I've never had it happen again.

Language is not static, and one of the biggest rules of language that any linguist will tell you is that the inventor doesn’t determine what it’s called, the evolution of the term as society uses it is. Hence why gif rather than jif is now considered correct, and in this case gerahnd instead of gah-rend.

The M1 Garand saw it's first combat debut during the Japanese invasion of the Philippines in 1941-1942 which culminated with the Battle Of Bataan, Soldiers who were stationed there received them alongside WW1 vintage rifles like the M1917 Enfield and Springfield. Many were destroyed to prevent capture and the garrison surrendered and were treated horribly by the Japanese including the infamous death march.

Many, many years ago in basic training, I qualified with the M1 Garand. Fond memories of a fine weapon. Thanks for reminding me.

I don't know how I missed this video. M1 Garand is the hands down rifle Americans need in their collection. I bought my Garand while station at Fort Sill, Oklahoma at a huge gun store in Oklahoma City for $167.00 in 1992. They had Garand, M1 Carbines, and I swear I remember both BAR as well as Thompsons in 55 gallon like wooden barrels. There had to be nearly 100 to weapons in those barrels. All weapons were repatriated from the South Korean Army, refurbished, and sold to Americans for a ridiculous bargain prices, which bring me to tears for not buying nearly all of those weapons to sell them today. My Garand is worth as much $2,400.00 since it was manufactured in 1943, fought/served all through the Pacific, fought/served in Korean War, served with the RoK Army until returned to the US. Good I LOVE my M1. Great Video!!!

the Gerard is the once removed cousin of the Garand sporting a top loading 30.06 converted Chauchat magazine and offset irons. The bottom ejection helped with the dirt problem that plagued the Chauchat originally but the magazine still caused problems.

It's the grandfather of the EBR rifle and the daddy of the M14. I don't think it's related to the AK-47. However, I think the AK-47 took STG-44 properties/features and the creator was inspired from that. In Richard Nixon's voice- "America, Hell yes!" (It's from Black Ops 1 "Five")

You and Thumb look like Battle Buddies 😉 💪🍻 I'm really looking forward to seeing further progress on the AKG-50 . Yes the project it taking awhile.... Hope people understand how hard it is to build any gun.... something that shoot .50cal BMG even more so. Good Fortunes Brandon 🤘🏼

@@hodor1765 You mean other than the eight even louder sounds you have to make for it to make that sound? The Garand is even faster to load than pretty much anything else, and it makes an excellent bayonet fighting weapon. Those that say the ping of the clip ejecting is a big deal prob don't have a lot of experience with the Garand.

@@hodor1765 You obviously learned all you know from Call of Duty. Thanks for clearing that up. You can get back to video games, since I don't argue with idiots.

The mainspring in an M1 Garand (however it's pronounced) is strong enough to hold the entire 9lb weight of the rifle by the thumb of an unwary operator for at least a few seconds when the bolt slams forward on it. I've seen it done by someone with the unfortunate first name of Tom. He didn't like being called Tom Thumb after that.

Great stuff. I loved the Garand in Medal of Honor( I know I’m showing my age) I stayed for the bloopers too. Lol

Just realized that you could do a step by step comparison of the M1 Garand and a original AK after seeing your AK Type 1 video, should totally consider that👍

Came for the ping, stayed because two incredible content creators are talking about one of my favorite firearms. Love the content! #AKGNotificationSquad

I remember watching an interview with Kalashnikov (the guy, not the gun), where he was asked if StG 44 served as an inspiration to the AK, and the answer was: "it is "yes" to the question if there was any particular gun, from which AK inherited certain features, and "no" to whether it was StG 44, it actually was M1 Garand".

I just got an m1 a few months ago from a guy who didn't know jack about firearms bc his dad never taught him anything, I walked out with a win m97 and a garand chambered in .308 for 650!!!! Unfortunately there's some tweaks I have to make because it keeps ejecting the clip after the 2nd rd. I still need to properly gas it and change out the clip latch spring. It's a very odd garand, it's not from CMP to my knowledge because it lacks the markings on the stock and the barrel is completely blank, it came with the spacer so I knew it was 308 but It's parkerized pristine in a brand new stock. Def not ww2 but Korea maybe?

@@chibbacurley62 From what I can remember, the US Navy did convert some M1 Garands to .308 Winchester by means of a chamber insert, but my understanding was that this conversion met with indifferent success because the inserts sometimes came loose. As far as identifying marks on the barrel, you didn't find anything? And the stock was new? Is the Garand you have made by Springfield Armory? I know that back during the early 2000's, Springfield Armory had begun production on the M1 Garand again for the commercial market, chambered in both .30-06 and .308 Winchester. Parts used for the rifles were from existing USGI stock until exhausted and then they were contracted to be made elsewhere. These rifles were put together very well and were very high quality. Does yours look brand new? I'm only asking because you may have one of the newer rifles.

The way Brandon’s hair waves with the recoil is majestic

Got my m1 about 2 months ago and love it so much

I didn't know the AK was inspired by the M1, thats really cool! Especially that these are two of my favorite rifles

I guess my father-in-law was lucky because he never got Garand thumb when he used one. When he fought in Korea. Until he got captured by the Chinese and spent 27 months 17 days in a POW camp. He did see and of course hear guys get it. He warned his son about it when he started shooting one for fun. And he never got it either. Love your channel keep it up.
