About Me
My name is Brandon Herrera. I'm the owner and operator of The AK Guy Inc, a 07 Firearm Manufacturer based out of Fayetteville, NC. I also co-own Stark Media Group, and designed the rifle known as the AK-50.
I've started to dedicate this TH-cam channel above all to have fun, but also as a way to document my entrepreneurial journey for the next few years as I try to grow my companies. Hopefully, people can learn from my example, successes, and failures.
Either way, I'm having a lot of fun with it so far, and I hope it's just as fun to follow along!

Thanks for watching guys! The M1 Garand is a neat rifle with a lot of history, so I'm glad we finally got around to making a full video with one! Also big thanks to Flannel Daddy for helping us with the shenanigans!

@@TheRealAtello
Yep. Adding more iron to steel, or something.
I've owned my M1 for about a year now and I can honestly say, the thrill and rush of slapping in fresh clips of M2 .30 CAL has yet to get old. It still puts a shit eating grin on my face every time that 8th round is ejected and I hear the tail end of the clip pinging through the air. Also watching cans vaporize and 2x4 target posts explode is almost better than sex. Almost.
It won't let you down, it will last forever, and your friends aren't likely to put their dicks inside it. Three good reasons to marry your rifle!
One of my favorite guns of all time. It's just so powerful, and durable. The fact that it flawlessly runs in my hands, after being in the hands of men in Europe, makes me wondering what black magic went into this.
I believe you mean IS. You got your heavy hits from .30-06 or .308 Win (depending on if it's a .308 model) and then obviously the ping is arousing. *winks*
@@Kamikazi91127 indeed! Lol

Best thing by far about this rifle is how many "good n@zis" it made.
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.

Flannel Daddy is legally mandated to appear in any and all videos with the M1 Garand.
No M1 video is complete without that iconic ping.
went to the range with a couple buddies. Brought my AR, buddy brought his AK, we had several handguns. We were having a great time when a very old man came in. He brought in his M1, the rifle was almost as big as he was. We got to talking and he let us fire off a clip. Its the dopest thing ive ever shot. Getting that "PING!" was so fucking awesome.

Respect the maker's pronunciation. (husband, lowland, island, garland, errand, wand)
@@ronjones-6977 no, cause that’s not how the english language, or any language for that matter, works.
@@ronjones-6977 What?
Pronunciation always depends on its roots or etymology.
English is a language of many mixed influences therefore nobody can tell you a word’s exact pronunciation but the man who invented that word himself
@@RakeRock1994 actually, a large part of a language is how it evolves over time. 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.

Cod Vanguard in a nutshell
I remember the first time I've heard about the M-1 Garand was in Mail Call with R Lee Ermey, and immediately the M-1 became one of my favorites WW2 guns.
*RIP, Gunny.*
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")
Garand thumbs laugh when Brandon got his thumb smashed was fucking beautiful.

Best place to put a Norm quote in, love it!
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 gets even more Interesting. So the Garand went to Korea and was used against Soviet Firearms, then its AMERICAN son, the M-14 went on to Vietnam, then the Middle East and Afghanistan as a DMR. So from 1950 until Present, John C. Garand’s design has been slugging it out with Combloc designs. Talk about a Family Feud!
Interesting how the full power M1 and M14 fared so poorly against their intermediate cartridge derivations of their long-stroke gas piston platforms.
@@dbmail545 Define "Poorly", since it seems that the 30-06 and the 7.62 NATO cartridges have over a Hundred years of Combined Combat Service.
@@dbmail545 The M14 was doomed to fail back then since it was forced into roles it had no chance to succeed at.
And interestingly enough, the AK47 has more in common mechanically with an M1 than the STG
@@dbmail545 It did pretty well in korea, untill human waves became a thing. I totally agree it was the wrong gun for indochina.
@@kkrummelrhs The original prototype, "AK-46", featured a hinged receiver and sight radius similar to the StG-44. Also, the cartridge, 7.62x39mm, is a blatant plagiarism of 7.92x33mm
I was a little salty that you called us commies, it's just the major cities. But you saved yourself by paying respects to Norm MacDonald. A true Canadian legend.
The last funny comedian. RIP
Almost feels like humans shouldn't gather in settlements with population bigger than 1.000.000 people. Huh.
Oregon gets the same treatment simply because 1 city called Portland is all everyone sees. Welcome to the club. All of Canada is communist now. Thank the few bad eggs lol
bro edmonton is pretty blue
@Otto Skorzeny under communism you have no freedom of entrepreneurship, the state owns every company, and the wealth is distributed equally to everyone. Nor the US or Canada are communist... They have social policies, sure, but that's far from communism.
With my M1, as long as I properly lock back the bolt, I can push an en bloc into the magazine and keep my thumb there all day, the bolt won't move forward until I release. Many people who get Garand thumb is because they don't lock back the bolt the whole way. I never need to slam the charging handle forward either. Awesome video.
That is a beautiful rifle... The patina on that wood is incredible.
You can tell its been around.
“It’s the Canadians that are the communists, go figure”

Can’t blame Brandon for getting a little weird with GT. Met the flannel daddy over the weekend and the hug definitely left some funny feelings. The charm is real
@Otto Skorzeny 100% got him to sign some stuff and grabbed pic with him at Apache Rifle Works. Wife’s gonna be pissed when I replace our photo on my nightstand with the photo of flannel daddy and myself.
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!!!
I once owned a Mossin, but I have always wanted a Garand! I've never had the chance to fire one but I REALLY hope to be able to one day. Also, I'm a new subscriber and I was introduced to this channel through Demolition Ranch when this channel did a collaboration video with him. Great content and I am looking forward to lots of great videos!
Great rifles for sure
Yes if only there was no ammo shortage at the moment
They honestly kind of suck as a practical rifle, but they're still fun & have a storied history.
@@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 What do you think is louder: eight rounds of .30-06, bombs, grenades, and rockets going off; or a little ping?
@@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.

I had never seen one of these taken apart. It's cool to see the history behind my own guns. I have an M1A, which is from the M14, which comes from this. No wonder they come apart in the same way.
It's funny, they went through all that work to add select-fire ability to the Garand only for Springfield to remove it again.
"I'm here to cure your alcoholism Brandon"
"Your gonna need more than 8 rounds, but here ya go"

I don't think it takes that many 30-06 rounds if you don't target the bottles
I mean he could solve the problem with one round but that's not the route you should be willing to take
Eight rounds isn't a drinking problem, it's just a fun week night.
I'd like to think that Brandon's range is permanently scented in various flavors of White Claw

BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD
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 remember an interview by the guardian on the kalashnikov (gun, not guy) and he said nothing because he was an inanimate object

After purchasing my Garand and taking her out for the range for the first, I was not prepared for how viscerally moving that first *ping!* was...
It’s amazing. The Garand fucks. Hard.
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.
Awesome. I fell in love with this rifle because of my dad and his military service from 1945-1968. Growing up believing there wasn’t another legitimate combat qualified weapon. As General Patton once wrote “In my opinion, the M-1 Rifle is the greatest battle implement ever devised.”
I'm glad Brandon is getting onboard with NAGR. They're the ONLY no compromise gun group as far as I'm concerned.
I've always really wanted a M1 Garand. Especially since it doesn't have the 5 round centerfire limit.(no limit with internal mags)
We have a silly 5 round centerfire rifle limit,10 for handguns. No limit on rimfire here in Alberta.
The way Brandon’s hair waves with the recoil is majestic
Oh my God, I fucking lost it when you two were holding each other while shooting!! 😂 😂 One of your best videos ever!!!
And welcome to the M1 family! I have a beautiful 1954 H&R that I hand picked at the CMP South store in Anniston, AL years ago.
