Thank you for taking the time to put this video together, without a doubt the most informative video on TH-cam about the M1 Garand and the components that make up one. I could listen to this man for hours on end. Again thank you for such a quality video.
Thank you very much for your comment. It gives more more energy to make make more videos to help others. Next series will be on the 1911. Thanks again.
Norwich, great video thanks for putting this together. Although I probably won't take mine down as much as this I can still get a better idea to identify my parts as shown by you here. Appreciate the thoroughness on each part, keep them coming!!
Have a all original Winchester 2,371,XXX Bought in 1984 at a small antique shop in mid Mo. Took rifle apart years ago have researched it couple of times over the years ,I believe I have a non molested rifle. Punch marks, rough machining, correct numbers, stock markings ect. I do not remember what the owner told me about the rifle. Low round count, tight, good shooter, trigger is great, better than my Springfield M1-A. Looks like rifle never left the states. Just came across your site. Went over the rifle again for the 3rd time after watching this seems all Winchester correct to date . I can disassemble it again ,have my son take detailed pictures and send them to you..Great site..
@@norwich93CMP You are welcome, sir. Since your video I have sourced and installed the period correct op rod, rear sight and correct gas cylinder lock for my '43 M1
Whenever I see folks “restore” an M1, I am drawn back to an evening in the barracks many years ago. In order to demonstrate the genius of John Garand, the DI seated us in a large circle. We stripped our rifles down to the barreled receiver and bolts.... making piles of oprods, trigger group parts, guides, springs, etc. keeping only the receiver and bolt in our possession. Then we proceeded to take random parts from the piles and reassembled our rifles.
I've been considering doing a sheet for my Rifle. This will sure help ! Thanks 👍 Edit, not so sure I'll be able or that I will WANT to take it completely down tho, lol.
@@norwich93CMP I just finished watching your video about that clip. Prob won't mess with it, especially without the tool. I was an auto tech for many years and it was always about having the right tool for the job. Being as I only own 1 Garand, for now, I doubt I go that far 😉 Thanks for all your uploads ! Great info and seeing it all done helps a BUNCH 👍
When you say Springfield Armory, you're talking about the USGI stuff and not the newer company, right?specifically my milled trigger guard stamped with a T. Secondly, my rifle is a mid July '43 SA......should my hammer spring housing and plunger be in the white? Finally, the long buttplate bolt any idea when shouldered vs. straight cut was used?
I only refer to USGI items unless specifically call out a commercial or aftermarket name. The finish on those parts can be finished or in the white. Need a shoulder screw for that time frame.
hello, I know about 10% or less about all the details about collecting Garands. I just got a LEAD 11-65 Winchester (July 1942) Service Grade from CMP North Store. It appears to have never been used since rebuild. Likely not much in it is Winchester other than the receiver. Stock was very tight to put back on and has orange triangle stamp and only has shipping and storage dings and dents. I have another to shoot and this one looked like new to me so that's why I got it. Although the counter guy said Winchesters were $200 more just for the name with the first one I had him look at and he said not to get it. But he liked this one and when I was leaving with the LEAD he said that I was going to like it. Should I leave alone or what's your opinion? Was it a good purchase, as in it's worth equal to or more than I paid?
@@norwich93CMP "leave it alone", as in don't use it and/or don't grease and oil it? I have only taken it apart to the point of the trigger group and the stock from the barrel/receiver. I left everything as is was which was like newish. ran a patch down the barrel and there was nothing to clean. seems like sort of a waste not to do anything with it.
First, determine is there are any markings on the outside of the barrel. Then an examination of the chamber is necessary. If there are no markings, its safe to say its commercial. If there is a small ring in the chamber then it probably is a sleeve.
The barrel has cross cannons, some other letters and this on the right side of the barrel (1-sa-1-45). I understand that to be a Springfield Armory barrel.
so is there a source(s) of this information that shows nice pictures and labels each item as to type and/or manufacture? I am just beginning Garand collecting and right now without a stamped number on the items I am have no clear idea what some of them are. I have Duff's ww2 book but the picture are not that useful for some of the items. I am starting with what I think should be fairly easy, a SA Feb 1945 matching rec/barrel and have been able to find the parts with stampings, but I can't figure out for sure what some of the others are or if I see one for sale if it's what I need.
Best book out there is by Joe Poyer, if you can get them. It's about $25, has a lot of info on markings and which serial numbers are correct for certain parts.
@@norwich93CMP and even the book is hard to identify. which edition? how many pages? I see something that looks like it from $22 to $150. then the reviews seem to have similar issue that I have, no enough or clear pictures so that you can be sure about a part that does NOT have a stamped number/letter on it
I am hoping the reason we are doing this becomes clear also, I have heard "In the white" and cannot get an explanation of what that means. The phrase was never used in the USMC while I was part.
norwich hello, do you know what happen to the M1 carbine data base ? it seems to be down for some reason. The name is as i have it is...USCARBINECAL30M1.com data base

i realize it's quite off topic but do anyone know a good website to stream newly released movies online?

Sure thing and thanks!
Really great video.I have a November of '41 Springfield with an Oct. '41 barrel. Enjoyable to watch and loaded with detail.

Sounds like a great score. Your rifle was serialized about December 17-19, 1943.
🏁🏆🏁🏆I had one ,sadly I traded it 28 years ago .That thing haunts me to this day.
Thank you for the great information!
Glad it was helpful!
THANK YOU!!!! This is very likely the best video I've seen on categorizing the M1 and its parts. This is so helpful.
Wow, thanks!

Genius of Eli Whitney that did that, not Garand.
@@norwich93CMP -Oh yeah... the Whitney rifle... I forgot.
Thanks for your great videos
Glad you like them!
Very educational
Thank you very much!!!

great video I'm looking to mount a Vortex Viper red dot to my M1 Garand, can you recommend the best adapter for this task...
Sorry I cannot. If you look in some FaceBook M1 Garand pages there are discussions on that.

LEAD rebuild are sought after. Leave it alone. I have a WWII Springfield and the finish is one of the best I ever saw.

I had a Winchester and I made some money on it ,but I'm so sorry I sold it.
Very nice video. I'm trying to determine if I have a sleeved 308 chamber or a milled chamber. Can you help ?

I can't seem to find a good guide on how to determine when my stock was made. The cartouche is too worn to tell. What is your source?
I use Joe Poyer's book, which is not in print.
I am hoping the reason we are doing this becomes clear also, I have heard "In the white" and cannot get an explanation of what that means. The phrase was never used in the USMC while I was part.
"In-the-white" is a term where from the factory there is no finish on the metal and it is in its natural state. Its metallic shinny.
@@norwich93CMP Thank you. I have also heard it applied to well-used rifle bores. Is there another connotation when it comes to rifle bores?
Which is the correct base for a Feb 1945 Garand? Narrow or wide base?
Wide.
I need a 1SA trigger guard
How does one obtain the blank forms?
I do believe a put the link to the form in my description area of the video. If there check the other videos regarding the datasheet.
Where do I get the parts from?
Go to the bottom of the video under the show more section, click the link.
norwich hello, do you know what happen to the M1 carbine data base ? it seems to be down for some reason. The name is as i have it is...USCARBINECAL30M1.com data base
That's the correct URL. Been down since at least Friday.
@@crawdaddy550 www.uscarbinecal30.com/
Works for me.
@@crawdaddy550 Hi so the data base, the one you put in you ser# an the maker is down right ? an THANK's
@@norwich93CMP Norwitch i ment the data base page .. not the home page
Good topick could not hear a word you were saying get a mike you put on your coller
Thanks I checked the video, sound was good, I suggest getting a better speaker as some computer speaker are not very good.
Volume was good on my cheap phone.
