I got one to my great grandpa was passing it down the family tree and i got it now.
BBB b. B.B. b. B v go
My great grand father carried an m1 garand during WWII in the battle of Okinawa, we bought him a military surplus one shortly before he passed and he was deadly accurate for a 94 year old man and he demanded he be buried in uniform with the rifle by his side. His demand was granted, never cried more in m life.
Your grandfather is a badass
Salute brother
What you did for your Grandfather is extremely admirable and honorable.
Salute to you grandfather. Truly a hero! Did he meet Desmond Doss by any chance?
And everybody got up and clapped right?
Hickok is like the Bob Ross of guns
Perfect comparison
Well that just ripped a hole in the time-space continuum 🤔
Agreed.........he just needs a few happy 2 litres thrown in and he's all there.
And Mr Rogers talking to us so politely as he smokes his pot!
"I'm just gonna put a happy little bullet in that two litre, and that's our little secret" lol
Every time an M1 pings, a German soldier gets his wings

Just like Americans with the MG 42
Then my grandfather came with his mg42 and 20 americans get wings 😂😂😂
Don’t think they will be going to heaven, serving Hitler.

I love that "ping" the clip makes when it ejects on the last round
Yup but for the soldiers in WWll using M1 Garand it was scary because that "ping" noise only tells the axis they need to reload their primary
when your in combat with guys next to you the ping would be drowned out by machine guns explosions and lots of other things and by the time you where empty the guy next to you would probably still be shooting
Yup and US GI's would toss an empty clip on the ground to trick the Axis into peeking, then they would shoot 'em!

Hickok has been in the Napoleonic Wars, American Civil War, WW1, WW2, Korea, Vietnam, Rhodesia, Desert Storm and Afghanistan. He is a warrior god propelled by pure rage and the panicked screaming of his enemies. Every time he dies he respawns at Bud’s Gun Shop.
Lmao and SpanAm war, probably Russo-Ukrainian war too 💀
That ping is the sound of freedom.
Sir. It's people like you that really show TH-cam its worth. Thanks for these videos. I almost feel at home with family when I watch these.

Been a fan of this gun since I was 10yrs old when I played Medal of Honor: Frontline
Absolutely haha. Same here. There's something really solid about it. Even in a video game.
Ya don’t know nothing bout that Medal of Honor: Underground, son
sean regan I played it on ps1, you’re a French resistance fighter. Didn’t have the m1 garand though.
BRO OH MY GOODNESS YES!!!!!

Hell yeah
Meeeee
I literally just bought my first gun, it's a Garand.
Maybe not the best choice to start but I regret nothing.
Good job!!
get an adjustable gas plug.... modern ammo has higher gas port pressure and can bend your op rod.
the op rod is bent slightly even when its good...but that makes it weaker (m14 solved this problem with a dead straight op rod)
but, it also improves recoil....the bolt and op rod doesnt slam to a stop on the back of the receiver. it just costs nicely to a stop, only under spring pressure....
no slamming at all.
could possibly improve accuracy as well due to harmonics.
better longevity, better recoil, better accuracy....please, get an ADJUSTABLE! gas plug, take the 5 rounds to get it to work, (start backed off...fire once...get the action to almost cycle, then make small adjustments till you feel a change in recoil....from the bolt slamming....and back off.
takes 5 to 10 rounds.
also...either "inrange" or forgotten weapons did a m1 gas plug video....it will show you what i mean about "bolt slam".
ive got this.... their are MANY like it, and you can buy this from like midway and save a few bucks.
schustermfg...dotcom..../m1-garand-adjustable-gas-plug
I wish my first gun was a garand. Mosin but i regret nothing either. Nothing but good times ever since.
+kain hall Thanks, I've already ordered a schuster plug
Same, I actually developed a flinch with my Mosin. I can shoot .300 win mag and .375 H&H no problem but the Mosin just does me in for some reason.
I have to revisit this every now and then. In my 3 years in the USAF ('80s), I fired a Garand more than any other firearm. As a member of the HQ TAC/LAFB Honor Guard, I put hundreds of blank rounds through M1s. I still get goosebumps thinking about the honors rendered by those magnificent rifles. Thanks for the memories.
I don't know if it's just me, but those little nicks and scratches in the wood just give this firearm so much soul. That is one beautiful piece of kit my friend.
"Enjoy being shunned."
LMAO 😂😂😂
Train with this rifle in 1969 in the United States Marine Corps to qualify as rifleman. Can still remember the feeling!
JOSE CARRASCO thanks for your service sir.
Proud to have served.......
Do you remember any tips and tricks for operating/maintaining it as a service rifle that young bucks like myself might not know?
I own 2 from the cmp service/special and have fallen in love with the design. By far my favorite.
Thanks for serving sir love from india
Thank you for serving sir.
I am always been impressed with Hickok's marksmanship.
His love for guns is infectious.
Yeah
Bet he never was SHOT AT..
“What does a battle rifle have in common with a microwave?”

Payed $1,000 even for mine at a gun show. Have never regretted it.

Paid*. But damn nice. Have fun.
You did not buy o e I looked at your channel your a child stop telling lies
Paul Simonie he probably just has kids, dumbass. appreciate baddassery wheh you see it.
Mason Tartaglia I paid 1400 for mine. Best purchase ever
I love the M1 Garand. A friend of mine let me use it out on the range a few years ago and it's very accurate with very low recoil. I had a bolt action 30.06 that kicked like a Missouri mule and left bruises on my shoulder. So if a person is lucky enough to buy an M1 Garand they definitely have a sweet shooter and a part of American history. One day when I win the lottery I will buy one too!
I here you! The M1 Garand hardly has much kick at all.
Robert Brumley the Civilian Marksmanship Program is selling them for about $800-$1000 right now.
Cmp has a 730 dollar m1, used in service of course
I was shooting 30.06 rounds out of a 1917 Enfield not too long ago and it left a big bruise on my shoulder. When I'm shooting a gun i can't tell if the recoil is bad or not. It didn't seem too bad but i guess it was bad enough to leave a bruise.
Parker Messex
Yeah the Springfield 1903 also has a good kick to it. The Garand, 1903, and Enfield 1917 are all 30 06 but the semi auto Garand uses the recoil to cycle the action, so it doesn’t kick too much. The Springfield and Enfield are bolt actions operated all by hand so all the recoil goes into the shoulder
I own and shoot an M1 Garand pretty often. It is the most cherished gun I own for many reasons. One, I'm a big WW2 buff. The receiver on mine is dated February of 1942, barrel and walnut are brand new. Everything else is a mash up. Two, handling, shooting and reloading it gives me a feel of what soldiers that actually carried it into battle had to deal with. I'm not getting shot at and running through dirt and mud with it but it helps me realize how it would've been under good circumstances. Lastly, I love taking friends to shoot it. My shooting buddy that I take shooting the most often is my coworker. She's about 5'4 and 110lbs and her favorite gun of mine to shoot is the M1 Garand. Everyone that shoots it loves it. I love it for the historical significance and for the fact that it's just a good rifle.
It doesn't talk when it fires, it sings.
Guess you can say it's the Garand daddy of all guns.
just a fellow human being actually it's *buh duh PING*
Goose Tater it's not even the grand daddy of assault rifles. the fedorov avtomat is more of a correct term. the first completely practical assault rifle, the father is a stg44
Leave now......jk bro good one
KaiDoesStuff Damm you beat me to it
mikasa y'know ya could play along?
Would love to be able to track down the Garand my grandfather carried.
Yeah, that would be about as special as it gets. Likely an impossibility, however.
hickok45 No doubt
hickok45 can we still get M1 Garands in America ? I mean from war Museums ?
767 track + yes you can, you can get them from antique firearm sites but prepare for you wallet to be murdered with the price
I bought mine from a gun shop for 850 dollars just a month ago or so. It's not overly expensive, but for a rifle it's pretty damn steep.
I never knew HOW precise these things were, holy moly my ancestors were truly screwed.

These rifles are still in service here in the Philippines. Hehe

and now he's gone i miss him so much,this video was a memory for me.
I qualified with this rifle at the rifle range in the Marine Corps. It is a very special weapon. Very dependable, very accurate weapon.
Yes! So accurate in fact that I think they were used as sniper rifles back then.

4:10 Man, that is a really satisfying noise.
The Garand is the only rifle in history to be satisfying when it's empty haha.
fordtruck239 I've heard it was used so that you could feign being empty, so when the target peaked you would already be aiming at them.
An uncle of mine told me that he used that trick on Guadalcanal...toss an empty clip to get an enemy to break cover. He's long gone but I admired that Marine.
Jim Casey Damn that's clever! Never would've thought of that.
There are a lot of naysayers on the forums who doubt that such a technique could be used. I believe my uncle.
I appreciate the honest evaluation of the stresses involved in off hand shooting with such a beast of a rifle.

Great rifle. Whether in Europe or the Pacific, imagine facing those 30-06 rounds if you were the enemy. The BAR notwithstanding, a squad armed just with M1s could put up some pretty withering cover fire.
That's what stopped those damned Bonzai Charges
pappybugington pretty sure flame throwers are why stopped the banzi charges
For roughly the first half of the War in the Pacific, the Marine Corps used the Springfield M1903 as its standard issue long arm. After Guadalcanal and seeing how well the Army's M-1's worked in combat, the Corps was convinced and began adopting the Garand as rapidly as possible, but it wasn't until part-way through or towards the end of 1943 that most Marine units were armed with them. Can you imagine facing a Japanese suicide charge with a bolt-action rifle? Sort of helps one to understand why SOP was for Marine units nearest the Japanese to have weapons hot with bayonets fixed pretty much at all times. Good thing they had BARs and Browning medium machine guns.... as well as plenty of grenades, flamethrowers and light artillery shooting canister rounds, too.
Can someone please spell Banzai right for a change.

"1943, I remember it well." LOL!
I've watched your videos off and on for quite some time but finally realized I could get notices from you if I subbed your channel. I'm a life member of the NRA and have been for years. I'm 70 years old and joined when the dues were $7.00 a month if I remember correctly. In the 80's I got a life membership. I enjoy all your videos and especially like this one as my favorite rifle is the M1 Garand and I have 9 of them at this time. I did have 11 and gave one to my brother and recently sold one on Gunbroker. They are all top notch guns and it's taken years to find them, no random pieced together junk. One of them is a navy gun in .308 with the paper work signed by the secretary of the navy showing it was awarded to an enlisted man for winning a leg match using it. I love the vintage military rifles as well as the newer ones. I have several of the others as well that I won't go into. I do have one I'm very proud of I'll mention and it's a Springfield 03 I sent to Miltech in California a few years back and had totally refurbished. It looks better than the day it was issued to a soldier. I'm primarily a pistol shooter and shot bullseye matches for years, (conventional pistol to some) and my favorite pistol is the 1911. Thanks for all you do for the shooting sports.
A short p.s. Do you know the ammo you use should be loaded with the proper burn rate parameters? The Lake City you mention in the video is good but not sure about the other. Improper burn rate in the powder can bend the operating rod. I reload all my ammo for the Garand. When I shot the John C. Garand matches at Camp Perry they supplied the ammo...Lake City.
whenever I see this rifle I think of gran Torino
Lol I was just thinking about that movie
I thought of Saving Private Ryan.
+Neil McCauley same!
It makes me think of Saving Private Ryan, and Full Metal Jacket.
full metal jacket rifle is m14 not m1
My Springfield M1 receiver and barrel date to October '43. The rifle is awesome, but to think on the history it went through is astounding.
I'm not a gun owner myself but it was interesting to see this since my father was a WWII *COMBAT* rifleman. He ended up being the bazooka guy when he got over to europe. I have a picture of him with his rifle which he wrote they had to carry them even after the war was supposed to be over since about every town they went through had Germans who hadn't given up especially up in the hills where they had to go round them up. Watching this episode I can tell how loud just one rifle is and imagine an actual battle must have been incredibly loud.
Awesome. My Great Uncle died in WW2 October of 1943. I would love to find me a Garand made at that time.
My great grandpa fought in ww2 but sadly we have no idea what happened to him he didnt return 😞
u can ! Might be pricy but they’re definitely not extinct
I took me 3 years to save up and buy a M1 Garand and I don't regret it. Worth every dollar
Final serial number for 10/43 is 2,092,825, anything below that was made around his time and could even have been his. I bought my first garand earlier this year and definitely do not regret it
I talked to a WW2 vet who said they were great. Nice and heavy to knock down doors in France.......
"it was made in the october of 43 and there was a LITTLE conflict going on at that time"
I love M1 Garand watching from Philippines,
I can just imagine zombies coming out of the fields and hickok45 just reacting, reloads quickly and starts firing...

That "ting" sound that makes the empty magazine its just fabulous

Its a clip
The Ting Goes skrrrra
To us it sounds great but to them it was horrible due to the sound providing the enemy an indication of an empty clip.

Is your channel name a tribute to the Wild-West figure Wild Bill Hickok? I just found your channel, and I have to say that I absolutely love it. I hope someday I'll get to shoot all these great weapons of yesteryear myself, that would be amazing, but getting to experience them vicariously through you is great.

As a student in ROTC (Marine) in High School back in 1973. As a squad Leader, I was issued the M-14 Garand. We did range shooting and field war drills with kind of a Red vs. Blue competition firing blanks. Observer scoring points. Fond memories ! ! I joined the Army after High School and given the M-16. What a toy ! No heft, Balance Nada compared to the M-14. It felt so hollow .

In the average person's hands, the M1 Garand looks absolutely massive. In Hickok's hands, it looks like a carbine.
you are amazing and I love that rifle that I carried through boot camp. Thank you man.
hickok, you could say it is the GARAND-daddy of all milsurp rifles
Man, you really forget how powerful that 30-06 really is. That rifle sounds mean
And to think that hundreds of these were going off at once in war
We've handled them in ROTC but not live weapons. Mostly for drill but still, can't help felling like a WW2 solider storming Normandy, France!

what an awesome rifle. and an honor to have the original and not a replica of remake. I bet the soldier that shot that in the 2nd world war was looking down with approval cause your aim is terrific and your respect is true. thanks for sharing this video hickok45, your weapons channel is the best on youtube

I remember back in the 70,s my uncle had 4 M1 s . Standing in his gun rack . Very heavy rifle for 8 year old to shoot
My fathered carried one from D-Day through 1946 in the ETO. The old man used to say “Goes through 9 Germans and kills the 10”.
I got one through the DCM program. It was shipped to his house as I was working overseas at the time.
He stripped it of the cosmoline and cleaned it. He was so proud to hold one again. No doubt living out his youth and fighting to liberate Europe.

My favorite gun to disassemble and assemble repeatedly during our high school reserved army training. Every part of the rifle has a purpose, no excess parts to mess around with.
I’ve fired an M1. That’s a monster rifle. The recoil feels like a shotgun. They don’t make them like that anymore. A great shooting rifle.
Sadly I'm British so I can't legally own a gun but if I could , the M1 Garand would be my choice of firearm ( idk why)
JJ ARTS It’s such a perfect balance of beauty and functionality.
of course you can legally own a gun, you'd need to apply for a firearms certificate and go through the process
What about the Lee Enfield ??
you secretly know you want to be american.
You can own a gun. You can't owns semi auto, but there's no reason you can't have a pump action shotgun or a bolt action rifle, the .303 lee Enfield would be a prime one for a Brit.
You CAN own a rifle, hell you can get suppressors easier than we can.
One note of caution about the ammo...you must use only .30-06 ammo specifically designated for the M-1 Garand, as using modern high-powered hunting cartridges may destroy the gun. I bought cases of PPU ammo (made in Serbia) designated for the Garand and they work flawlessly in my gun
Buy an adjustable gas plug and you're set
+Mike Hawk yes I could do that...I'm aware that they're available. Most people who may pick up one of these rifles though typically are not aware that the pressures with the original gas plug and modern ammo factory made and not specifically for the Garand MAY cause the gun to be damaged or destroyed. And on a personal note, I prefer keeping mine 100% completely original, for authenticity.

This is where handloading really shines. Winchester 147 gr. FMJBT, A CCI #34 primer, and 46 gr. of Varget is quite accurate, works smooth as silk
That weapon has a very distinctive sound, one that the the person on the end will never forget.
I have a 1943 M-1 Garand, it has successfully hunted Alaskan Brown and Black Bears, Moose, Caribou and once a Buffalo during a special permit hunt. It is my go to rifle in the hunting season.
I know that it’s my favorite world war gun
My favorite one is the M1911(not the M1911A1)

Among other things, this reminds me of Gran Torino.
***** I would say that actually goes against the point of the movie though. Eastwood's character sacrifices himself at the end, rather than going in guns blazing, because he knew the law would resolve the issue more than a single act of violence would.

No matter how good your aim is when shooting metal plates, you know the last shot is gonna go pling.
The M1 filmed with the proper camera, finally. Thanks!
PIIIIIIIING.
I was expecting at the beginning “AHHHHHHHHHHH garland thumb again!”
Imagine you're robbing his house and you hear him load his weapon and say; "We always thank Federal Ammo and Bud's Gunshop for their support".
My Garand came in the mail today. This video is what put me over the edge to buy it.
"The Ultimate Military Surplus Rifle". Yup. I'd like to get one
Ronald McDonald order one from CMP! My order is processing with them now. I CAN’T WAIT to get mine!
I used to always pronounce it "M1 Grand"
AaronLow1 same
AaronLow1 same
Same
That's what it's sounds like when I say it really fast
AaronLow1 It is Grand allright
This weapon like the lee Enfield no 4 303 is a beast of a weapon and had the chance of firing both awesome pieces of kit
