6:02 Anticipating the recoil by pushing the front end of the gun down is not really flinching, it's what you've trained your body to do while shooting. Because it works wonders at controlling recoil, especially on a Garand (I never felt much recoil with mine, but I'm a big dude and can shoot all 8 shots in under 2.5 seconds so I'm not average in that regard lol)
@@BrassBashers im 26, 6 foot 5..... idk, between 200 and 220 pounds when i last weighted my self like 5 years ago(im a skinny fucker, but have a BIT of a gut) the m1 doesnt recoil AT ALL!!! shoot a bolt action 30-06 with a 18 inch barrel to see what recoil is REALLY like lol

Being probably one of the few people left alive or at least cognizant that has used an M 1 in combat I think you just proved how tough a weapon it was. We aquired ours from our RVN counterparts for cigatettes and hair tonic. After a good cleaning and light oiling we kept them around for longer range perimiter defense to aid the M 16s problems over about 200 yards. The M 1 works. With just a little care they will work first time every time
Funny how my M1 finally sees the light of day again for the first time in nearly 4 years (estimated, could actually be longer, the safe it lived in is quite obnoxious to get into, intentionally) and this video comes out a week or two later. It's got it's limitations, but it's still a darn nice rifle for when you need a .30-06.
I love all these tests. Its amazing to see how easily one part can stop the entire rifle from working. Its also pretty interesting to see some rifles you think would pass actually fail almost immediately, and the ones you think there is no way actually do pretty well.
In the runup to a major war, where thousands if not millions of American fighting men would entrust their lives to their individual weapon, the US Army decided to adopt a cutting edge high tech rifle, ostensibly to increase the individual's firepower. The rifles were expensive and manufacturing issues began to crop up. A faulty gas system proved unreliable and prone to fouling, and required substantial redesign. Un-chromed chambers lead to issues with extracting cases in humid tropical jungles, and it would be some time before the troops completely trusted their new "whizz-bang" rifles. I am, of course, speaking about the M1 Garand.
"I have to pull the trigger like twice, with force" It's like in nightmares where you have a gun and need to shoot something but no matter how hard you pull the trigger in the dream it doesn't fire until it feels like it
Im late to the party...but years ago I remember a DDay vet talking about how much he loves the M1, but when he landed his would only fire like a bolt gun. He had to run the bolt manually while on the beach. Its cool to see what he described played out here.
I’m honestly amazed that it got a round off from the first clip and surprised that even with help that it finished the second clip. That being said I love the M1 I think every American does and if for no other reason than it’s history it’s tied as my favorite rifle my Winchester being tied with it.
Talk about the "Little Rifle that Could". I was 100% convinced this wasn't going to work at all. But when it got off that second round I basically just started rooting for it. That was a remarkably inspiring little story that developed on accident here.
I've watched you guys do dust and mud tests on AR-15s, AKs and various other rifles, but this is the first one that actually made me uneasy and I have no idea why.
i was about to say you turned the garand into a mauser with the sand. then you said you had to fight through all the grit to fire the gun. so you turned it into a mosin. :)
Hey Ian and Karl, I have one and I love it and treat it like a queen, yet I love to see it tested and beaten, unlike many others, I may buy a bad one and bubba it for giggles, which I would of never done till you guys pointed out the amount made and parts are very easy to come by, and I'll make sure it's a repro stock not orginal
ua-cam.com/video/zO1g3VGWV7I/v-deo.html is one of several YT video that demonstrate how to load from a clip with 2 to 8 rounds, but I don't think it's possible to top off a clip with a 8th round while it is in the magazine.
I think I've read somewhere that in the battle of iwo jima. The volcanic sand was so bad that it reduce firearms to single shot or not operable. This video shows it and give me great respect for those who fought in such horrendous conditions.
As a shooting sling user, this sling is on correctly, I say. I happen to be sitting by my H&R, with a green GI sling... You want that buckle/ clasp to be such that you can pull the tag end of the sling down, and it opens the buckle, thereby being able to quickly adjust the length to suit your loop, hasty, or whatever style of sling use you desire. If you put the adjusting clasp facing up/ inside, it will be more difficult to adjust when you're "slung up". The hook on the buttstock end is for disconnecting easier, and forming the loop to shoot prone. No bipod or rest needed. Just a rifle and a GI sling..... just a few notes from an Appleseed Rifleman.
Actually, some folks carried their rifles with the sling tab on the outside as they felt it was easier to make sling adjustments -- particularly on the range. Not the way many sergeants told them to do it but they found that on the range it worked for them.
Literally laughed and went “yeah, that’s NOT going to work” when I saw this video in my notifications!... M1 is a great gun, just not so much when it gets full of crap...
Yep, love that rifle, and the M1 carbine as well, but the system attracts lots of debris. To be fair to it, every rifle will have problems when you subject them to worst case scenarios. Some just survive them better than others. I give the old M1 credit tho, it made it through a lot more rounds than I was expecting!
Food_ Toobs 100 percent agree with you. For the time there was NO BETTER SEMI AUTO than garands M1, too. Really the whole M1 family the battle rifle, carbine and the later M-14, so long as the latter stays in semi automatic, nothing can really beat them as far as accuracy, power, reliably running without a hitch after hundreds if not thousands of rounds of consecutive shooting. Works in the hot, cold, rain and snow. The saint it rifle works, Garand himself blessed us with a still to this day fairly relevant and still seriously influential design. That’s impressive. Which was the kk g way of saying the engineering and history sides of these rifles are my favourite bits about them. Oh did I forget to mention that all three are ‘good guy guns’ & totally legal here in Canada? Well they’re legal in Canada. Which makes them even BETTER for an old syrup schlepper like myself! Those maple and honey bears will drink all that maple tree sap (it’s maple syrup flavoured water as the sap is about as viscous as water and it’s not too sweet it’s perfect lmao) and, leave you S.O.L for a hundred pancake mornings worth of sap. Sap which WAS waiting to be slowly boiled from a watery liquid, into a fat more viscous, equally delicious syrup!!! And that shut hurts a man whether or not he was down before getting syrup jacked...
What would you guys recommend doing for a trigger guard mechanism that pops open under fire??? New stock? Wood filler? I tried placing some paper shims in the trigger housing to put more pressure on guard latch, but it only works temporarily and will still come open while firing..

In Europe a lot of Garands are actually modified to only shoot like that

Imagine if he ever gets to drive a forklift
I thought for sure Karl would have a gag where they first did the test with the M1 in a plastic bag.
Is it just me or is Ian's enthusiasm for the leaf blower just a little bit disturbing?
its the song of his people lol
Might be related to that one Flamethrower video.
Once he straps that thing on he looks more like Manuel than Doc Holliday.
It's because there's no leaves in Arizona.
I'm having flashbacks of a certain video including an M1A and an AR-15 in a dust test many moons ago.
Remember when they did mud tests by Ian just crawling in nasty mud
Ethan Enderson “I’m a published author now, Karl. You can’t make me do that anymore.”
As someone who's seen your old dust test videos with the M14, I knew exactly what would happen before even clicking.
*Sees it’s for M1. “Oh god.”
I think Karl's flinching on one trigger pull is offset by his complete lack of reaction when Ian capped off 8 rounds directly next to him.
"Yes I flinched". We all would have man haha great video as always guys!

I love mine, may not be the best by today's standards but your right, of you gotta lob a 30-06 this is the perfect rifle
If you think any rifle shown on Inrange is crap (other than the Mosin), you’re not very bright. All things have limitations.
Rather have a modern BAR. Dont want to have a 30-06 with the same performance as a slower .308
Had to kick start my M1 carbine couple times, no hard surfaces to mortar it. Just planted it firmly in the mud with rocks and kick started it
Same on my pair of M1's over the years. It's rare, but happens once a blue moon.
I had to do that with rk62, no mortaring in deep snow
I’m not normally in an emotional person but I did shed a tear
A manly tear.

RGabry21 yeah, anyone commenting about “the unreliable M16” has well earned his “ok boomer” at this point
Ian, thanks for saying, "Basicaly brake cleaner." It was helpful for me to understand what that is without previous knowledge of it.
"You got the sling on backwards man."

Great video, surprised that flinch didn't knock the sand loose 😆
I remember that y'all did this test to a M1A (essentially a upgraded M1 Garand), MAS-49, and a AR-15 years ago at like the start of this channel.
I’m glad you don’t treat your M1 like a Ming vase. It’s a damn battle rifle. They weren’t made to cuddle with.
I can't help but think that making the M1 die in dirt and mud would be a great way to balance it in a WW2 video game
Technically, we patreon supporters didn't pay for ammo you fired but for ammo you ejected because there were rocks inside the mag :-D Worth it!
Loved the kickstart technique lol
Turn your M1 into a Bolt Gun with this one easy trick!

This channel just shreds my favorite firearms and I still watch through teary eyes and crippling heart pains.
-Why don't you fire a clip of 8 rounds
-Fires in gun jesus
You're becoming more and more a TV duo, I can't help but laugh a lot with your videos!

I have waited much time for this blessing...
Any video with a M1 garand, is a good video!
Awesome video, actually did a little better than I expected.
Kicking the bolt handle is also how you break open a frozen solid RK-62 in the field. Sometimes multiple times.
Thanks so much for running all 8 initial rounds until the “ping” 👍 always a good way to start the day
You guys best at historical guns and shooting tests
Last time I was this early, bolt actions were still relevant.
M1 *Ping and A10 Brrrrrt are my two favorite sounds in the world.
6:25 "just gonna charge the bolt handle real quick..."
Can't do that shit on an AR
Having just inherited an M1 Garand I am searching for videos doing tests on the rifle, Thanks guys :)
I love the pure excitement of Ian whenever the blower was mentioned.
Great Video Karl and Ian!
Need to come up with a cool name for the leaf blower..... Sandwerfer?
That went better than I expected.

A dust fest on the Ross rifle would be interesting along with a mud test.
Someone needs to send these guys a ross rifle to test.
Based on what I know of the ross rifle, that might kill someone

Oh man M1 Garands are such beautiful rifles for some reason... Exploit this bad boy and show us what it can do!
Seems it was not very windy when your guys competed against ours in Desert Brutality 1942/43.
Ian's impression of the M1 clip was fun.
The M14 inherited the same problems, and the M1 Carbine also, being a mini M1 :)
Love to see you do that to an early SA80 - "forward assist" necessary I would guess!
A beautiful homage to the Garand
I'd like to see you conduct a dust test on the Arisaka, both with and without its dust cover.
That would just be a mauser dust test
"Welcome to InRangeTV, and today Karl will demonstrate how to convert your M1 into a Straight-Pull Blackpowder rifle."

Considering the amount of open spaces in the action it ‘worked’ surprisingly well
I’m surprised the action moved at all, honestly
Yall need to do tiers of testing. Some, Some more, and ALL, the mud/dust.
