All you got to do is load it as if you were a left-hander and it works perfectly every time. You are correct right handed loaders always have the 8th round hang in early production models. Only after on the firing line did they find that the left-handed shooters, we're able to fire all eight rounds, did they figure out what was going on. Before they got it fixed they would just tell people to hand their clips to a left-handed buddy and let him load it. Because instinctively the left hander will place the first shell on the left side.

I think the guy at my LGS had a little brain fart like that, at least id like to believe so. I was looking at an SKS and asked if he had any clips for it. He corrected me. I corrected him back. I dont think he likes me anymore.
I've been handling firearms my entire life and I've never seen anyone load a 8 round stripper clip in an M-1 Garand the way this guy did and not get "M-1 thumb." The way I've always done it and I was taught by a WWII combat veteran was you hold the forearm of the rifle with your weak hand then firmly grip the clip with your dominant hand's thumb, index and middle fingers, then gently but firmly push downwards until the clip is in the breech of the receiver. Then still holding the rifle the same way with your weak hand holding the rifle by the forearm pull back on the slide release/charging handle and move your dominant hand away (all in the same movement) @ a 45 degree angle. If you load the M-1 Garand this way and reverse the procedure when unloading the rifle you'll always be copacetic (ok).
@@eggwitheyez the thing I love about the M1 Garand is that it's several things at once. It's iconic. It's what I think of as a rifleman's rifle. The ergonomics make it a pleasure to shoot! I love wooden furniture on a military service rifle. The number of rounds is irrelevant if you can't keep a decent site picture and put them on the paper! This is the yard stick I always use to determine how well I like a weapon like this. Ease of use. If it's a torment to shoot what good is it to me? What use is into me?! The simplest designs are always 🔥 👌 the best!
I remember playing MOHAA a good few years ago and the M1 Garand was my go to rifle for that game, not just because it was a solid weapon, but i was thoroughly in love with the ping.
Each and every 1 minute review is so in-depth I actually learn something about the weapon. And it's fantastic to see you actually shoot the gun. P.s that's one fine M1 grand
I want one, but as a pianist getting the non-safe version is just too much of a threat. I don't even risk catching a ball, I must keep my freakishly long fingers intact. Thank you for informing me this exists in other words.
@@samuelbrice3699 I love guns and shoot quite often, my fingers are my livelihood in many ways and risking it on a garand just isn't worth my guy. I never said anything about not liking guns. I was saying I was grateful for the information on a garand that won't cost me a thumb. You seem to have created your own version of my comment in your head which honestly isn't a good look man lol. And no you're not a pianist if you're not worried about your fingers, you're just a guy that plays piano there is a pretty big difference actually.
Hey, I saw an old garand traning video that shows how to prevent the smashing of your fingers. Load the mag with your right hand while also blocking the bolt.
Yeah, it should just be common sense imo Tho, as a true Garand simp, I must say the ultimate form of respect to the gun is to allow your thumb to be smashed. For it is worthy sacrifice to receive the blessing of John C. Garand to ensure your round hits your target, nyes
Maybe? I know if you’re quick, you can damn sure take advantage of that mechanism to get a very quick reload in and get back on target. Was it designed that way? I dunno. Probably, honestly, because Garand was a genius.

EDIT: it's specifically the clip feeding the last round(s) from the "wrong side", you can feed a clip in either direction it'll allow, but it positions the last round in a different spot. So if you ensure that the rounds are always feeding in the same order, R, L, R, L... ETC. the issue is non-existent.

Load the 8th round on the left
@@nauseaah yes, the loading order was the interim solution but the actual problem was a manufacturing floor shortcut ended up with a rail being cut a few thou short or something, just slightly out of spec enough that when the tolerances stacked it caused the problem
7th round stoppage. Pretty easy fix too. Love forgotten weapons
@@Fresh_Biscuits easy fix from a manufacturing point maybe
I like when people improve on proven concepts, great job.
Great transition at the start!

Is it possible for the enemy to hear your *ping* between the noisy background of the battle?
I mean if you were hiding from the enemy or alone but yourself is more probably they can hear your ping, but in other cases is less possible
@@angelodewitt6336 This was a myth already disproven. The ping is loud but not louder than bullets, bombs, and roaring of vehicle engines. It would just be muddled in with the rest of the noises via sound masking.
@@GunShocka Can't tell, but if this was disproven as you say, cool

Cod is gay.
question: can’t you just hold the bolt so it’ll close when you let go?
Yes, but the more hands and fingers you have free the better... wouldn't save much time either
Yeah, putting your hand on the bolt prevents accidentally triggering it to close. It's one of the more safer options.
@@Azure_Gunbreaker I hadn't considered that

The sound of the gun firing is just beautiful.
Is no one else gonna talk about that transition to the range? 👌👌👌

Dude the shots sound so elegant
And the ping too
Owning a Garand, I can confidently say that you just ping. Ping. Ping.
The gun doesn’t get stuck on the 8th round if you feed it the other way. (Right over left or vice versa I forget)
Wasn't there a Forgotten Weapons about that? How for the first military trials they just quietly made sure all of the clips were loaded the right way to avoid the stoppage?
Watch Ian’s video! Forgotten weapons on the reason that last round stays in. Temp Fix it by only loading the bullets into the clip one way. Ie they are double stacked so switch the stack orientation so the left or right round is on the bottom.
Hope that helps
This rifle will never get old
I mean, it's over 80 now. It IS old.
However, it will never cease to be cool, and it will never go out of style.
@@able34bravo37Sure hope it doesn't. It's impressive.

To avoid getting garand thumb just use your dominant hand to hold back the charging Handle so it doesn't spring foward
Like they taught in the military
That's no fun.

Load your en-block clips with the opposite orientation. Should fix the 8th round locking issue. Forgotten weapons did a video on this issue
This
That was for early models. That issue was corrected relatively early
Worth a try but in that video Ian mentions that that problem was pre-production and none of the rifles issued had it
@@austins3266 right, but the reason it was a problem to being with was it was a (at the time believed to be) minor change that wasn’t initially documented.

This guy's transitions and commentaries are on top
I was so scared when he didn’t hold the barrel when loading the clip in.
Playing 'hell let loose' has brought me to really appreciate this gun
I love the ping noise. It’s the best gun in WAW for sure
Yes, it's even better at 100m doing multiple target transitions with sub second splits.
Me,who knows zero about firearms: Hey he's using that gun from Call of Duty. Huh, neat.
Damn you!, grandpa’s runnin’ around the house again with his double lighting bolt helmet….🙄
Pqopl
Thank you for the ping it made my day
My head: it’s called a mag not a clip 🙄.
My head a second later: no wait this actually is a clip for once
I’m the exact same way lol
En bloc
I crimged when he called it a clipasine
I think the guy at my LGS had a little brain fart like that, at least id like to believe so. I was looking at an SKS and asked if he had any clips for it. He corrected me. I corrected him back. I dont think he likes me anymore.
I thought the same.
I've been handling firearms my entire life and I've never seen anyone load a 8 round stripper clip in an M-1 Garand the way this guy did and not get "M-1 thumb." The way I've always done it and I was taught by a WWII combat veteran was you hold the forearm of the rifle with your weak hand then firmly grip the clip with your dominant hand's thumb, index and middle fingers, then gently but firmly push downwards until the clip is in the breech of the receiver. Then still holding the rifle the same way with your weak hand holding the rifle by the forearm pull back on the slide release/charging handle and move your dominant hand away (all in the same movement) @ a 45 degree angle. If you load the M-1 Garand this way and reverse the procedure when unloading the rifle you'll always be copacetic (ok).
These are brand new parts and materials and run very smooth compared to 1940's.
@@eggwitheyez the thing I love about the M1 Garand is that it's several things at once. It's iconic. It's what I think of as a rifleman's rifle. The ergonomics make it a pleasure to shoot!
I love wooden furniture on a military service rifle. The number of rounds is irrelevant if you can't
keep a decent site picture and put them on the paper! This is the yard stick I always use to determine how well I like a weapon like this. Ease of use. If it's a torment to shoot what good
is it to me? What use is into me?! The simplest designs are always 🔥 👌 the best!
just hold back the charging handle with the same hand ur using to load the clip. u can do both at once and you'll never have it slam ur thumb
Instant world at war vibes
Yes I can't count the people who don't cover the fact that if they maintain pressure on the clip it won't go, thank you
I remember playing MOHAA a good few years ago and the M1 Garand was my go to rifle for that game, not just because it was a solid weapon, but i was thoroughly in love with the ping.
Wow same
Haa me too
Nice to hear the description "clip" used correctly for once.

The safe version of my Grandpa's M1. I remember the stories he use to tell me and the phantom pinging noise he heard everyday. RIP
Each and every 1 minute review is so in-depth I actually learn something about the weapon. And it's fantastic to see you actually shoot the gun. P.s that's one fine M1 grand
I want one, but as a pianist getting the non-safe version is just too much of a threat. I don't even risk catching a ball, I must keep my freakishly long fingers intact.
Thank you for informing me this exists in other words.

As another pianist you’re a little chicken. I love guns.
@@samuelbrice3699 I love guns and shoot quite often, my fingers are my livelihood in many ways and risking it on a garand just isn't worth my guy. I never said anything about not liking guns.
I was saying I was grateful for the information on a garand that won't cost me a thumb. You seem to have created your own version of my comment in your head which honestly isn't a good look man lol. And no you're not a pianist if you're not worried about your fingers, you're just a guy that plays piano there is a pretty big difference actually.
@Preston Henson As clumsy as I am, I'd 100% Garand thumb my dumbass in the first few hours of owning a garand lmao.
Ugh learn how to load it properly and it will never happen
The chosen rifle in every US campaign in war games
Ian from Forgotten Weapons has a whole video on the 8th round lockback issue, iirc you can avoid it by loading your mags in a certain order.
Kinda fun gun that makes a ting sound whenever you reload and shoot. Hehe.
Sounds like battlefield sound. Soothing, until you are the other end
It's my favourite gun. Period. Any flavour of garand i prefer over anything else. It's pure
It’s so unsuspecting looking to it just looks like a regular ass garand, and yet it’s so much more ❤️
People always say you can hear that ping when it's empty but how can you when you just heard a couple hundred rounds fire off
ear protection
Hey, I saw an old garand traning video that shows how to prevent the smashing of your fingers. Load the mag with your right hand while also blocking the bolt.
Yeah, it should just be common sense imo
Tho, as a true Garand simp, I must say the ultimate form of respect to the gun is to allow your thumb to be smashed. For it is worthy sacrifice to receive the blessing of John C. Garand to ensure your round hits your target, nyes
This is one of my most demanding weapon in COD 1 and COD 2. I never enough of the CHING! sound
That ping is “perfection”
Not to sound like some Puritan, but wasn’t the garand designed specifically for 1 step reloads, just slam another clip in there and your good to go
Maybe? I know if you’re quick, you can damn sure take advantage of that mechanism to get a very quick reload in and get back on target. Was it designed that way? I dunno. Probably, honestly, because Garand was a genius.
@@ScottGrow117 garand thumb was never meant to be part of the loading process, it’s just a side effect of either loading it wrong or not moving out of the way fast enough
@@ScottGrow117 If Garand was a genius, he'd have made it mag-fed, not clip-fed.
Yeah, I went there.
@@NaruSanavai He was a point or two of genius behind everyone else. But the rifle was very well designed.
@@NaruSanavai well at least clips are lighter and less bulky, you can also prone easily since no mag is sticking out.
