    Absolutely the best! What could be better than World War Wisdom posting a new video? Gotta love that he shows the actual shooting footage and he is also not just throwing shots down range. I will convince my dad to enter in as he has never shot a M1 Garand before. Keep up the amazing videos.😃

    Weiraboos like to make a big deal of StG 44, but they always seem to forget that it was only manufactured in limited numbers and far too late in the war to make a difference. The Garand, on the other hand, that was *standard issue*. When Patton made his famous quote, he wasn't exactly wrong.

    • @darkhorse3535
      @darkhorse3535 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      The STG 44 is still an incredibly important rifle for history, even though it didn‘t make a huge impact for the German war effort. It was still the first assault rifle.

    • @dillonc7955

      ​@darkhorse3535 Some would argue the Federov Avtomat was the first assault rifle. Fot example it takes box mags, the Arisaka rifle round, has select fire, etc.

    • @darkhorse3535
      @darkhorse3535 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @@dillonc7955 The Federov Avtomat is not the first assault rifle because of the cartridge it fires. 6.5 Arisaka is a full sized rifle cartridge and not an intermediate one, that goes against the definition of assault rifle which is a rifle that has select fire capabilities, fires an intermediate cartridge, and uses a detachable magazine. Because the Federov Avtomat fires a full size cartridge, it cannot be an assault rifle and it is instead a battle rifle.

      Yeah, the M1 Garand was the perfect rifle adopted at the perfect time. Had WW2 started a decade earlier, the US would still be mostly using the bolt action Springfield 1903 like everyone else, had WW2 started a decade later, maybe their enemies would’ve had more widespread use of semi autos or even the Stg-44.
      But WW2 started right when the US military had widespread adoption of the Garand (Marines notwithstanding) while everyone else was still mostly using bolt actions.

    Your shooting got better each round, just getting comfortable with the gun, recoil. It's not always how well you score, you were gaining confidence. Keep shooting and your scores improve. Everybody has a drop-off after a box or two, you're not fresh anymore. Go again, shoot any stance and you'll be twice as good. That drop-off accounts for lots of flyers. Nice

    Great video brother. Such a joy to watch and hear your excitement about the rifle. On my law enforcement honor guard, we carried working M1 Garands. So much better, I thought, than moving to the M4. Heavy though. haha. The Star Spangled Banner gets real long hanging the rifle at present. The history of the rifle made it all worth it though.

  • @vgrg7841
    @vgrg7841 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +8

    The great thing about this rifle was it wasn't bolt action. Which I feel must have been an advantage despite it being heavy an packed quite the knock out power and it's reloading mechanism being quite painful if not careful and tricky.

    • @darkhorse3535
      @darkhorse3535 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

      The internal magazine is actually very easy to use, Garand thumb only became an issue in the 1950s with baby boomers because they weren‘t always strong enough to fully lock the bolt back, the bolt will stay back until you move your hand if you reload correctly which was relatively common for the time.

    • @dillonc7955
      @dillonc7955 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      Garand Thumb is a pretty minimallistic issue compared to the issues other semi autos had like the SVT38 magazines falling out of guns, the German G43 being somewhat unreliable, or the Japanese Type 5 Garand being experiental.

    I always cross my anklea when sitting. Its mire parable. After each shot as
    I recovered from recoil I was exactly on target. M1, M14, M16, it works. My JROTC WWII vet taught us that with the Garrand, and Carbine. 1962-65.

    I'm surprised you haven't been shooting monthly CMP matches at your local shooting range? It's three position shooting with the following course of fire: Slow standing at 200 yards, rapid sitting at 200 yards, rapid prone at 300 yards, slow prone at 600 yards. The matches were designed to promote the mastering of the fundamentals of marksmanship among the civilian population. Participation in monthly CMP matches is a good way to maintain one's marksmanship at peak level because it's a perishable skill.

    I don't think that was a cartouche on the side. the stock cartouches are gonna be on the left side of the rifle, on the pistol grip, and underneath the butt pad on the end of the rifle. I think the indentation on the right side of the gun is just a dent. As far as I know, there weren't any stock stamps on the right side of the M1 during production.

  • @CGWWIIreenactor
    @CGWWIIreenactor 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Good video and decent shooting, but your firing positions need a little work, nothing practice can't fix!
    For example In the standing position you are shooting too much like you would a modern rifle, low elbow, and also leaning awkwardly and tensley back. In the correct position the rifle's sights should be brought to eye level, and the head should not have to hunch down, which is why you looked uncomfortable and tense.
    Watch the training film "Markansmanship with the M1 Rifle" to see correct firing positions.
    If you are going to the Normandy 44 tactical, I'll happily give you pointers to help you improve.
    Thanks again for the great video!

  • @junkfish2007
    @junkfish2007 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Original WWII and post war cartouches were only applied on the left side of the rifle.
    Even rebuild stamps were generally only applied to the left side too.
    Very, very uncommon to have any cartouches on the right side. Less that 1%.
    Great video nonetheless!

    Sure hope you use " M2 " ball ammo. Full charge 30-06 can be fired. BUT...The use will put a higher pressure stress on the rifle. In your book...you can find " using full charge ammo can be used in emergency" The higher pressure can cause op rod damage. Look up the reason for M2 ball ammo
