As someone who has owned a m1 garand for over 20 years and was actually the first gun I ever bought, I have to say I have never seen one jam so many times. Lol. I think gun companies need to send you firearms to test out to see how prone they are to jamming. Because you sir, seem to have a special touch for jamming guns

[@ironheadedDoF]

Yeah, this Garand needed to be destroyed, for jamming that much.

[@3ountyhunter]

I feel the same way. Mine has always run like a top. You do have to manhandle it a bit sometimes, but it's always been solid.

Garands don’t like to be coddled. Best Infantry rifle on the planet. First one I held, favorite caliber, only the addition of a box magazine was needed. It’s a real rifle, M14 was all we had, until the plastic Mattel’s started showing up. These iconic rifles were real Battle Rifles. I love my AR, but only one rifle for me if I have to choose. Belt fed would be even better.

[@jongrossardt7542]

This brought back the memories of having a Garand blow up while I was firing it. Not quite as spectacular as yours but with similar result. It froze the brass case in the chamber, vented through the case head and cracked both locking lugs. Gas blew out the floorplate and ruptured the stock similarly to yours. Injury was a cauterized burn to the the left wrist. It was January, so winter clothing shielded some.

[@RussellBishop-wp4gn]

What a waist of a beautiful iconic rifle from our military history! Next time box it up and send it to me I'll take care of it for you in my gun safe! I will be sure nothing happens to it!

Look up IV8888's test on Hi Points, he did the best ones including a way overpressured round with a bolt beat into the muzzle. It still didn't explode, just launched the bolt out. They had to put an overpressure round, bolt in the muzzle, and C clamp the whole thing shut to get it to blow. I think they filled the barrel w/ gunpowder too but I may be wrong.

iv8888 didnt use anfo or HE to spike the charge. Not sure if they tried a faster powder, which usually is enough. Also have more pressure if you use a slow-cure epoxy cap over the powder below the projectile. Good way to deal with post apocalyptic ammo thieves... just be sure to mark them innocuously.

Come legally to the US. Our liberty is always under attack from both political parties, but here is the one place you can always have your guns. When I was younger I idolized England, Scotland, and Ireland. Would still love to visit, but could never live in a place with such a boldly out of control government. The US government is bad enough.

What a lot of people don't know is that you need to my special 30-06 ammo for the Garand you can't just go to the sporting goods store and by 30-06 there the pressures are too high. It needs to be labeled as M2 ball or specificaly for the M1 Garand.

Thank Scott so much for making this video !!! Seeing is believing !!! I've been warned and taught for decades that gun barrel explosion caused by bullet jam is devastating and lethal, but never quite sure what harm it could really bring until this shocking video!!!

[@miked5144]

This video was showing what would happen if an extremely over charged round was fired. He did do a video recently on firing a gun with a barrel blocked by a wedged bullet though. Not nearly as destructive as this scenario was. This situation would surely put you in the hospital.

[@killergames391]

What’s absolutely surprising to me is that the most failure prone part of the garand with high pressure, the operating rod, survived mostly. At least didn’t fail in the normal high pressure way. All due to the bolt giving before the bullet reached the gas port

[@DrJeffDrJeff]

This one would definitely have been interesting to see with one of those hand analogs you've used occasionally. With how the receiver blew out, I have a feeling that any shooter would have gotten some gnarly hand injuries from that amount of pressure being released so close to the fingers.
