Got back from a gun show today and harvested a couple of M1-Garand videos. So far, I watched the 1st but not yet the 2nd. Anyway:

If you own a Garand. If you are "Garand-Challenged",...(like me ;)..then you will appreciate this video.

Actually, its a must.

It teaches you all sorts of nifty short-cuts and little tricks. Stuff you never knew before. How NOT to damage your Garand thru innocent mistakes and stuff like:

-how to properly stack bullets in a clip. Thus avoiding a "7th round malfunction".

-How to avoid that "Garand Thumb". Sooooo, simple :)

-I always thought that once I pushed a clip inside a Garand, I had to fire the whole clip before I could clear the weapon. Nope! This teaches you how to shoot just 3 rounds in a Garand with no problem.

-How to eject your (full) clip if their is a problem.

-Covers every device ever made for the Garand. Grenade launching devices. Different flash suppressors, you name it.

-Different butt plates.

-WW2 pull-thru cleaning rods for the butt-stock.

-WW2 cleaning solvents (the best) but VERY toxic??

-a "Winter-Trigger", snap-on and snap-off device.

-How to TOTALLY strip down your trigger assembly to pieces and many other parts.

.....and he makes it all look easy :)

Warning This video is 100 minutes long. It is a very Amatuer in quality.

Please bear that in mind.

The gentleman speaking on the video speaks in an *EXTREMELY* slow manner. As though hes talking to a brain-damaged 3 year old.

So, its painful to watch in one way,...but the information for Garand owners is very valuable on the other end of things.

I watched this video and thought that it could be cut in half if there was a more faster-speaking Narrator.

Charlton Heston?? or perhaps another professional Narrator. You pick.

Also, it would be a GREAT video if it had professional photography. Crystal-clear images ect.

Anyway, if you own a Garand, or want to swagger down your local rifle range. Looking like a Garand "Know-it-all". Get this video :)

The video is called "Garand old time". its at,..

Believe I ordered that video some three years ago. Watched it once, gave it to a friend on condition that he not give it back to me.

Your money would be better spent on the old classic, Hatcher's 'Book of the Garand', or Duff's M1 User's Manual'.

Books may be low tech, but they get information across with less fuss--and you don't have to fast forward and rewind them to find what you need.
