Thank you for the details and explanation of everything! No one else on Utube is nearly as informative.

Didn’t like mine. Slide would always bite my hand. Never had another gun do that. I own a few PPs in .32 auto and neither do that 🤷🏼‍♂️

👍👍

So cool.

Got a fully engraved Galesi with mammoth grips. Fully engraved Astra as well. Love them pocket pistols. Had never seen am extended mag on one, though! That's awesome! Most pistols with the European style mag catch don't have that option, but I did find a custom 15 round mag for my Walther P38, which is wonderful

*Enjoyed video immensely* *Called CMP Custom Shop to place order for 308 Garand* *Only negative was their installing adjustable gas block* *Your video clarified any concerns with DIY installation* *Thank you for the information*

Hello! My name is Artem. I'm from Ukraine. Recently I got a gun permit and bought myself an M1A Springfield rifle. As I really like American weapons and in particular M1A. Today, I went to the shooting range with M1A for the first time. After the seventh magazine was fired, there was a problem. After the magazine runs out of cartridges, the bolt locks up. I pull the magazine out of the chamber and the bolt unintentionally comes off the delay. When I try to put the bolt on delay without the magazine in the chamber, the bolt does not lock in the rear position, but comes off the bolt lock button. There was also a case, after firing the last cartridge from the magazine, the bolt was in the delayed position. I took out an empty magazine. When the magazine was inserted into the chamber, the bolt unintentionally released from the delay and ejected the cartridge into the chamber. After shooting, I disassembled the rifle at home for cleaning. After cleaning, I reassembled the rifle and tried to put the bolt back on the bolt without the magazine in the chamber. Again, the bolt does not lock in the rear position. When I tried to put the bolt on delay, the bolt is released. In our country, such a rifle as M1A is rare and exclusive. There is practically no information on its operation and functioning. I decided to turn to you! Please tell me if you have encountered such nuances when using M1A. Is this problem like my rifle normal or is it really a malfunction of mechanisms? Thank you in advance for the answer!

I had one of the originals before the safety was on the slide. and the thumb safety on the frame. I thought the plastic grips were kind of cheesy but back in '83 there were no custom wood grip replacements. So I ordered Taurus wood grips and they fit perfectly. I never minded the heel mag release. Kept me from dropping the very hard to get mags onto the pavement. Later I got another Beretta but made in Brazil. "Dupla Acao" on the box. Wish I had it now.

Love my 92S. 💯👍😎

What holster is that you are using?

why would you load like that?

Excelente video, fue de bastante ayuda.

As the new owner of a model 916 this video is really helpful. Also enjoyed seeing you respond to all the comments. Cheers!

The best disassembly video on TH-cam! Thank you brother your video helped me out allot! 👍

Bringing my first M1 Garand out to the range tomorrow for the second time. First M1 Garand I ever fired was a friends. It was at the tail end of a WW2 shoot at the club I’m a member of. They had packed away the targets. I just fired 8 rounds into the berm. I instantly got the burning desire to own one and found a great specimen. The first time I took it out I barely touched the sights and I was hitting a man sized target at 125 yards. It was really just a function test, making some noise, and having some fun. I’d like to get a little more serious now and I think this video has covered all of the bases. Wish me luck out there tomorrow. I’m generally new to rifle shooting, and very new to M1 Garands. I don’t have all that much experience sighting rifles in at all. I got lucky with the sights out of the box. Aiming dead center at the man sized target, I was hitting low. Adjusted 3 clicks up and began hitting center mass every time. I will be a little reluctant to “mess them up” as they seem to be set pretty well. But I think this will be worth it.

Nice

I’m having a horrible time trying to take the trigger group off my Polytech rifle, are they any different to the American ones?

My M1A came with the same technical manual..

Walther PPK is not a good gun, it is not accurate and it is ergonomically uncomfortable.

...close enough for gummint work...good minute of pie plate/minute of terrorist accuracy...you're not shooting for score st Camp Perry's 600 yard range...just trying to take Mustafa Ali off the board...

All fun and all, but unnecessary expenditure could be avoided by using literaly any 30.06 round in the 150-165 grain range

You should have that rest further back on the stock 1 click on a M1 is aprox .25” change in elevation / windage

Thanks! I inherited a standard 916 (the sportsman version) from my grandad and wanted to know how to disassemble it for cleaning. This really helps!

I’ve been using dry lubricant for years , works good lasts a long time and doesn’t collect dirt, sand etc.

3:12 Is an extremely and common misrepresented image of a bullet miraculously climbing upon exiting the muzzle.. It does NOT arc upward from the bore. It only falls.

First qualified with the 1911 in the Marines in 1982

I’m ok with my first time buying a dvd player for my car for my great granddaughter. Not the best quality I would have chosen . I guess being elderly I was totally in the dark how to use the holder . After watching you install yours I felt kind of silly . Thanks for your help . 😊

As long as the weapon is lubed good ...be fine..

I tried buying this but then turned around and bought the gear to reload it 💀 the cost of a box of ammo was the same as the dies and trimmer to reload 30-06. With the trajectory of ammo prices it won't really be financially feasible to keep these rifles fed for most people unless you reload.

What a waste 45 bucks for that, I can find it online for $1.10 a round.

i just inherited two of these from my grandfather. Not alot of information on these out there. Thanks!

I don't know why but it looks really awkward shooting that riffle left handed. Any issues?

lmao. The 'customary' system of measurement, i.e. used by 7 billion ppl is metric. But we continue using the imperial system because we don't know WTF to prioritize. So we accept idiotic european social norms that have no practical value whatsoever but instead forsake units of measure that would make our lives super easy. smh

Thanks

I take mine in the shower with me, it's wonderful.....

I just came into possession of a standard 916 and it's rough. Where the cap screws into the mag tube (near the muzzle) has broken off. I figured just replace the barrel and gtg but can't remove it. I know they come out, have a few saved on flea bay but for the life of me can't figure out how to get it. Any tips?

Thanks for the show!

I have several Garands, lubriplate is all i use.

I need that mag 😅 I can't find one anywhere

Jesus Loves You All

The Garand is safe with 150 and 168gr commercial loads, it was originally designed with the .30M1 Ball load shooting a 178gr bullet at 2640fps. Any 150gr load except for the hottest 30/06 like the Hornady Superformance is fine. If you're nervous like me don't use the Schuster plug, IMHO it's a PITA. I have installed the GarandGear hollowed out gas plug on all my Garands. It works like the one on the M14 and it increases the volume of the gas chamber to soften the initial pressure spike at the beginning of the loading cycle, that's where your oprod can be damaged. Not only does it soften the recoil impulse it cushions the operation of the action. Here are the details taken from direct pressure readings from a transducer in the gas system. It also lists many loadings and comparisons' with commercial loads and M2 ball. M2 Ball. it's defiantly the way to go. www.garandgear.com/the-m1-garand-and-commercial-ammunition/

I don't care what all these shade tree experts say about the 150 grain cartridge. Read this: IMR 4895 propellant A new cartridge was developed in 1938 that was essentially a duplicate of the old M1906 round, but loaded with IMR 4895 propellant and a new flat-based bullet that had a gilding metal jacket and a different lead alloy, and weighed 152 grains (9.85 g) instead of 150 grains (9.72 g). The 150 grain 30.06 bullet is the same bullet of World War 2 as it is today. I have fired both Military surplus and commercial ammo. There real is no difference. Anyone ammo gun powder over time will be affected by improper storage. If it is not in a dry and cool climate. The ammo will be effected and this is why you must be careful about when it was made, and where it was stored over many years.

i watched this vid yesterday, took my brand new SA M1A Scout (with iron sights only) out for the first time this morning at my local Public State Game Lands range, using .308 Federal 168gr HPBT Sierra Match King, and shot about 30 rounds standing at 25 yards and it was almost identical sitting on the bench, a couple inches high and left, then sat at the bench and set my sights at center and just under about 1-3/4" high from bullseye, only took about 6 rounds. Then switched over to the 100 yard range and shot 3 groups just on the edge and inside of the center 3" ring, one group at 10 o'clock,, the other at 2 o'clock, and the last one at 6 o'clock. Each one wasn't the tightest, with a spread about 2" each (but under 1" in height), but pretty damn good considering my eyes are toast at 67 years old. But I was using real prescription glasses for the first time that I got just for shooting the M1A (I could see the target pretty well, but the iron sights were a bit fuzzy). I'm still pretty happy with it considering I've never shot any rifle ammo bigger than a 30-30 and never anything over 25 yards, basically I'm a rookie... but your video really helped me to zero in for that 100 yard. Not hitting better was all my fault, but hey, first time out, new rifle.... give me a couple more range days and I should be good. Just gotta find a 200, and 300 yard range somewhere now. Thanks for the vid!

What ammo are you running in your M1 ??

I wonder if your FM23-5 is from 1951. That one shows Table II and IV (rapid fire) as needing 9 rounds. The one from 1940 shows Table II/IV (rapid fire) as consisting of only 8 shots. On pg 299 of the 1951 version, it does say how to do 9 rounds. You got it right, the firer loads a single round into the rifle, and has the full clip elsewhere (they require it to be in the "third pocket of his cartridge belt"). Shoot the one round, then reload with the full clip and continue the course of fire.

Is it possible to just take the plug out all and cycle the rifle manually like a bolt action?

Good info. I use Mobil Red Synthetic grease, it's what the ARMY recommends for use in firearms because of its increased lubricity and superior washout resistance than Lubriplate or any other lubricant tested. Looks very similar to your All Weather Grease and yes, all you need is just a smear.

I luv all of mine. Accurate and reliable. Only down side is ammo is way heavier than say a Ar15.

How much is the m1 grand?

What was your impression on its function, reliability, and accuracy?
