I reeeeeeeally hope your not talking about bump firing in a combat situation.
M1 at 1000 yards scoped? you bet. like others have already said it is a maximum range and maybe not realistically effective in combat, but...
While were touching on the debate of rifle caliber. I am really curious if any of you would honestly believe that there are soldiers in the U.S....
Haha, yes! If the army really wanted the shennanigans in Iraq and Afghanistan to end, they would dust of some springfields and M1s!
brndirt, nobody said anything about call of duty, i was just venting. Since the game came out there has been a sharp increase in the number of m1...
Being a proud owner of both a garand and carbine i can tell you i would not feel very comfortable shooting at a target as close as 100 yards away...

Sadly the mum on my arisaka has been filed off. The stock of the rifle shows countless beatings but is definitely original. Also there is a...
Pretty jealous of your collection. I really dont think theres any better firearm to collect than one from the WWII era. I inherited my grandpa's...
Apologies, really meant no harm. bad joke and i guess i should have added a few more words to illustrate my extreme sarcasm.
Garand. Even if i run out of bullets... its heavy enough to club an elephant.
Bayonets on rifles can actually affect the accuracy of the shooter since it puts added pressure on the end of the barrel, which is why you dont...
eh, my apologies.
I am thankful enough to own an M1, and it is truly a lot of fun to shoot. I have also had the opportunity of being able to fire a Springfield and...
