Are the CMP garands pretty authentic I know the CMP mixs and matches parts but are the parts actually from the time period or are they after market/fake parts.
As usual the information has missed the mark. Gov websites can tell you the year of production and the year of issuance for the M1(if you put in a little effort). This is the serial number of my M1 I carried in Viet Nam, 7472606. After 55 years a Marine will never forget the serial number on his weapon.
@ superbird6bbl , Did you ever have your M1 Garand authenticated for possibly being original? What make is it? And even if it's found to have been repaired at some point in it's journey, it will always be a valuable and much sought after part of American military history. I am the proud owner of an October 1943 Springfield Armory M1 Garand, with a 1953 SA barrel , all parts are SA manufactured. Wouldn't it be great if these old M-1's could only speak of their war stories? Good luck with your M-1.
Just a fun fact if you have a serial number that starts with 7 million then you know it's a new-made newly-produced rifle not an authentic wartime rifle
@@seanf2834 yes it is look up Scott Duff M1 Garand stuff and you'll see that the serial numbers were allotted in the Springfield plant when it was sold 1968 could start with 7 million whatever you want to do but it's there oh and after that they had to be cast they could not be milled that's a fact
@@seanf2834 and that was in 1957 after that production ceased in the 1968 when the Springfield plant was sold to the Reese family they started with 7 million...........
People do that to make it more like it would have been as issued during WWII. They aren't using them as shooters, they are sitting in a case on their mantle.
@@TrashPanda5150 as issued would be incorrect for no other reason than they were all taken apart exept a few and scattered in baskets and rebuilt to spec not using original parts so actually the mixed part rifles are as issued. but better if rebarreled because the primers in the bullets were corrosive. and there is such a thing as a D barrel. cut with a four prong tool 1 thousanth at a time to 310 thousandths a perfect cylinder. ment to be m1c sniper barrel made around april of 1945. also pm grands just came back from acrossed seas no one even knew they existed. theres a lots left out . from money grubbers its whatever there needs are at the time it seams to me. as carried would be the ones id be after
That's not accurate. The vast majority of revisions applied to M1 Rifle components were for for the sake of improving the part (not replacing defects) or more often for improving manufacturing efficiencies. The contemporary obsession with "correcting" perfectly functional rifles is not inherently risky unless you're careless or incapable of identifying unserviceable parts.
@@stevenodell4323 Wrong for instance The rifle being designed for the 276 Roberts and being changed to 30 06 caused many problems with gas system bolts exploding Operating rods being bent even receiver cracking recoil springs not holding up gas operation in extreme cold Aperature sights not holding settings and this went on from 1932- 1942 to pearl harbor and after. and many came after Americans actually fielded them in 1943.

@@alonzahanks1182 No, sir, you need to say less. Your statement takes issue with the assertion "making M1 Garands parts correct is a mistake". Your essay rambles down a list of observations that have nothing to do with that idea.
Excellent video on the M1. I have the book and it is THE source for information on this rifle. Thank you for preparing and posting this video.
Do you have any records of these rifles according to serial numbers?
..
Many years ago, I read "North Cape" by Joe Poyer..about an SR71 type aircraft...years before it became public knowledge...
What an informative video! Thank you for making this.

GREAT video, I have a 43 Springfield the rifle stock has an A we're the (P) is the proof stamp. Who put the A there on the pistol grip?
It's an arsenal stamp from after the war and it was checked and test fired again in an army arsenal

I believe that I have an all original 1943 that still has the plug in the front sight. I still need to have it authenticated.
If You do, You have something. That's really rare.

I had a 1966 dated one

Not true

@@seanf2834 I only ran into 6 million so if it starts with 7 million it is as simple as that

Well done. Thanks
using this before buying m1 garand lol
Why do the us military destroy so many firearms ??
Liberal stupid
They switched this policy as we saw in Afghanistan 😭
they needed more space
They are the government= waste
FJB and his entire regime.
most upgrades have a defective part behind them so making a m1 garand parts correct is a mistake.

@@TrashPanda5150 as issued would be incorrect
for no other reason than they were all taken apart
exept a few and scattered in baskets and rebuilt to spec
not using original parts so actually the mixed part rifles are as issued.
but better if rebarreled because the primers in the bullets were corrosive.
and there is such a thing as a D barrel.
cut with a four prong tool 1 thousanth at a time to 310 thousandths a perfect cylinder.
ment to be m1c sniper barrel
made around april of 1945.
also pm grands just came back from acrossed seas
no one even knew they existed.
theres a lots left out .

Pronounce Garand properly please
@positiveanion4085 lol. You can spell. I'm not impressed by fools
He did.

Nobody cares bro its not that deep
