| Early Garand Plus Gentlemen, The picture speaks for itself. Notice the small changes in areas of the breakdown. More input for the new guys. Try to put in some info/question and we can learn more of the M1's HistoryWithout input from you guys no one learns ![]() ![]() ![]() A Veteran, whether active duty, retired, national guard, or reserve, is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to “The United States of America” for an amount of “up to and including my life.” Thanks again for taking the time and effort to read this data. I hope you have learned a little of the history of the M1 Garand. Clancy ps Could use some hits. I hope to have both sites update in soon. Have fun hope you enjoy and learn. NRA Life Endowment |

| It looks like a converted M1903 stock with that cross bolt. Look at that trigger housing. |

| The gas tube looks different. Is it? Who are the soldiers in the picture? They aren't American troops. |

| Lotsa' freedom fighters used M1's to kill commies for freedom. Not all were white. I helped lots of SA fighters save their countries from commies. El Salvadore, Nicaraugua, Honduras, etc. The silent war in our hemisphere would have been lost but for DOD recruits. We saved entire countries. |
