How an M1 Garand works

French Canadian-born Garand went to work at the United States Army's Springfield Armory and began working on a .30 caliber primer actuated blowback Model 1919 prototype. In 1924, twenty-four rifles, identified as "M1922s", were built at Springfield. At Fort Benning during 1925, they were tested against models by Berthier, Hatcher-Bang, Thompson, and Pedersen, the latter two being delayed blowback types. This led to a further trial of an improved "M1924" Garand against the Thompson, ultimately producing an inconclusive report. As a result, the Ordnance Board ordered a .30-06 Garand variant. In March 1927, the cavalry board reported trials among the Thompson, Garand, and 03 Springfield had not led to a clear winner. This led to a gas-operated .276 (7 mm) model (patented by Garand on 12 April 1930).
In early 1928, both the infantry and cavalry boards ran trials with the .276 Pedersen T1 rifle, calling it "highly promising" (despite its use of waxed ammunition, shared by the Thompson). On 13 August 1928, a semiautomatic rifle board (SRB) carried out joint Army, Navy, and Marine Corps trials between the .30 Thompson, both cavalry and infantry versions of the T1 Pedersen, "M1924" Garand, and .256 Bang, and on 21 September, the board reported no clear winner. The .30 Garand, however, was dropped in favor of the .276.

Kinda. The cartridges (not bullets 😁) keep the follower pushed down, even when there's only 1 round in the chamber. After shooting the last one, the follower goes up even more and it's the follower releasing the clip latch. The same clip latch that can be used manually from outside the gun by the shooter, when he wants to remove the clip to unload the gun

[@WednesdayAddamsMW]

Is it cheaper to buy parts one-by-one and build one from scratch or buy a new one directly from the Springfield Armory? Asking for a friend.

[@dawnofwar4302]

Did you ever get one? Usually M1's go for the thousands of dollars depending on the rifle itself. Eg who made it. What manufacturer parts are in it, stuff like that. However you can get one through the CMP - Civilian Marksmanship Program for cheaper i believe, although i am not familiar with what one has to do get one through the CMP. Last time i checked the CMP several months back i checked the CMP and they didn't have any in stock so to speak.

[@judofry]

You loaded the clip left handed

[@LinkinPark4Ever1996]

You can use only the right hand to both hold the bolt back and to push the new clip inside, performing the same action. This way you don't have to remove the left hand from the shooting position and you're faster at being ready to fire after reloading

[@joejaksetic9004]

That sounds a bit inaccurate. Thompson did try to create an auto-rifle using blow back operation, but had to abandon the effort when it was determined that the 30-06 round was totally unsuited for use in a weapon using blow back (or even delayed blow back). That is when he switched to the .45 ACP. And even though it was eventually shown to be unnecessary, the original Thompson was delayed blow back.

So its a half ass reload? At least now I know why it makes the ping noise now

[@wallythewall600]

Not really a half-assed reload, it's just how that style of clip works. En-bloc / Mannlicher clips stay in the gun and acts as an essential part of it (feed lips), as opposed of stripper clips (just a convenient way to shove a bunch of rounds quickly into the fixed magazine). Gotta get them out somehow once they're spent, otherwise you can't put another in. Shoving your fingers in there and doing it yourself is an absolutely terrible idea for several reasons. Most designers just had a cut in the bottom of the gun that the clip would fall out of (hopefully) once it was spent, if anything, that was the half-assed option as opposed to positive extraction via spring.

[@Warvvolf]

Why such a long moving rod/piston? under the barrel? Seems like the weight could be reduced by shortening that. Thanks for the video.

[@Iwannabenaked]

you don't want to release the pressure behind the bullet until the very last moment.

[@thomash4447]

Look at the modified Garand action Ruger used in the Mini-14...……..

[@johnturner7790]

The original design actually didn't use a gas port. Instead, it had a gas trap at the end of the barrel (basically a suppressor without enough volume to suppress) that activated the bolt. Some issues were found with that design during testing, so a redesign was implemented that could use the same rod. The M1 Carbine uses the same (new) design with a shorter rod, like you're asking about) since the gas port design was already proven to work by the time the M1 Carbine was designed. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hHOkoqSInq-FgrM

[@notahuman-r4j]

How about an M1 garand with detachable magazine, such that when the last round was fired and the case was ejected, the magazine would automatically be released from the mag well and when a new fresh mag is inserted, just like the M1 garand it will automatically put the round in the chamber.

There is a hole in the barrel towards the end on the bottom. As the bullet passes the hole gas is forced down and redirected back towards the action, unlocking the bolt and ejecting a round.
