M1 Garand vs SVT40
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 жов 2024
- This video is a table top review and comparison of the Russian SVT40 and the American M1 Garand. We start by looking at the history of both rifles... It is interesting to note that both rifles share somewhat of a similar design path. Also, we will go through a point-by-point comparison of the two. Each has their own gas operating system, which we explore in detail. Thanks for watching!
That SVT is smokin' beautiful!
@@krisalvarez5815 lol your opinion is trash :D

@Rhys Luis Again? I keep finding these stupid bots. It's illegal to do that
Always thought the SVT-40 looked like an SKS on steroids.
Much less than a M14 as well...lol
Have one of each, love them both. My SVT in an AVT stock is my favorite, not by much, but still gets the nod.
Same here.
This is a neat video for me.
I’m all over the Garand, but my SVT knowledge stops at “Russian firearm”
SVT for me all day. Box mags...
Gonna be a good watch regardless.
As someone who owns both the svt is no where near as reliable as the M1 I’ve never had a malfunction out of my Garand but I get a malfunction with the SVT40 every magazine still a fun rifle but the rimmed cases cause problems and it’s just as fast to reload the Garand with enbloc clips as the SVT40 with mags with practice and most people issued SVT40’s were using stripper clips not spare magazines
@@rednecksniper4715 You're having malfunction on SVT every magazine? There is something really wrong then. After adjustment of gas setting on mine the gun runs very reliably.
Rimmed rounds should not be problem either as the magazine is curved in the way so there won't be a rimlock.
@@rednecksniper4715 I concur that there is something wrong. Never had an issue with any SVT40 that I've owned unless a part was needing replaced.
I've owned my Tokarev SVT for 32 years. The only malfunction I've ever had was a slam-fire caused by my not cleaning the firing pin and it's channel of Cosmoline after I first bought it.
The m1 grand is u.s.a angel of freedom 🇵🇷🇺🇸🇺🇳🇪🇺🇪🇸☮☯️✡

Lol he did
@@krisalvarez5815 You deleted your comment
This might sound strange to people who watch this channel but I don't even own a gun but I love the detailed history about the firearms MarksmanTV presents. It is better than Antiques Road Show. Keep it up I love it.
You might try Forgotten Weapons on UA-cam if you like this sort of stuff. If more modern weapons interest you Small Arms Solutions is a good channel.
Chris, thank you. I very much enjoy your videos when you bring forward the details of these special firearms.
Love my 4- M1's I would never sale one! When I pass away they will go to my grandsons
It is freedom
svt better, better sell those m1s and get svt
@@t2av159 svt is minim damage
M1 rule's
What kind of wood is that SVT? It's rather beautiful from my view.
So you 🤔
It looks like European beech.
Beach
The SVT-40 stock was made of birch and bakelite plywood.

I have both and i actually like shooting the SVT-40 better. Once i got the gas setting set correctly.
Great just happen to be shopping for one .
Which one? Been a lot of sticker shock currently?
@@joshuagibson2520
M-1 Garand is on my radar.
Will get one this year, just has to be the right one.
With a gas system similar to that of the SVT and FAL, there were also prototypes of Simonov rifles starting in 1926. In particular, the rifle of 1931, which later turned into the ABC - 36 .
Greatest video you ever made! That was just fascinating.
Awesome video! Very complete and in informative! Thank you! 👍👍
Very good video Chris! I admire the time you take to explain things in great detail! I actually learn something ,every timeI watch your videos! Thank you for that!
I own a Winchester M-1 Garand Manufactured January 1944 and saw action in WWII. Love the famous “PING” of the M-Clip.
Back in 2018 I was competing at Camp Perry with my Air rifle team and after the first match we stopped by the CMP shop and literally the entire room was filled with M1s (they had Winchesters and Springfields)
They were even selling the M1d sniper variant of the garand
Do you remember the price? I'm thinking they're about $850?
@@joshuagibson2520
It’s been awhile but I think they were a little higher than that
@@ADRay1999 thanks. I'm still stuck in the 90s with $99 mosins prices. Lol
The M-1 was originally designed for the .276 Pedersen round which was ballistically similar (slightly less powerful but in the same ballpark) to the modern 7mm-08 cartridge. Consequently, the original M-1 was a little lighter and sleeker and held 10 rounds rather than 8. Kind of at the last minute, the Army decided to go with the .30-06 round because it would allow the rifle and the Browning machine gun to use the same round and because the Army still had millions of rounds of .30-06 from WW1. The thicker chamber area of the larger cartridge necessitated putting a bend in the operating rod which made it susceptible to breakage. They mostly overcame this with a couple of small tricks but to this day, the operating rod is just about the only part on the M-1 that ever breaks.
Very interesting. What COULD have been!
@@johndaugherty4127 It's still a hell of a rifle. You can get parts to rebarrel one in 7mm-08 but because its parent case is .308 you don't gain any capacity and of course, the rifle is still the same size. Nevertheless, I may do it someday. I already built one in .308 and it's really sweet.
I love my nagant but would not want to go to war with it,I’d still not be happy(knowing it’s modern times and what I’m missing) but I would take one of these still heavy but better rate of fire! Unless I’m stuck in a bell tower 3/4 mile from the enemy then maybe give me a bolt.
BTW, plenty of other countries worked on semi auto rifle during the inter war years. For example France, Czechoslovakia, Belgium and Poland but there work was shall we say 'interrupted' more or less shortly before they reached the finishing line.
Poles had a really nice rifle in the pipeline. Perhaps better than either of these.
Chris as always thank you for the informative video. My only issue is every time I watch one of your videos I find more and more firearms I like and want to buy. I’ve never heard of an svt40 until this video but the one you have there is a beautiful looking firearm. I would like to have one even if it’s not in as good of shape as yours is. But thank you and looking forward to the weekly used gun review for the week. Have a good weekend
So, really, the Garand, as we know it should be called the M2 Garand, with the M1 Garand name going out of use when all further production changed to the gas port->cylinder->long-stroke piston arrangement, and all original gas-trap models being retrofitted to the same system. Effectively, it is a completely revised rifle, and should be a new model designation.
Is all the same gun and yes
After all, the only significant difference between the M1 and M2 Carbine was the addition of the ‘Happy Switch’.
It would have been interesting to see how much more the SVT could have been developed if it would have went into service four or five years earlier, because while its a good rifle it really needed a longer development time.
really enjoyed the video! great comparison & overview
Thanks for mentioning that Garand was Canadian
Chris I'll give you 1000rds of 9mm for that SVT!
Ping is overrated, SVT has detachable mag and 2 more rounds
I must have missed the comparison of the rounds fired by the two rifles and the reasoning for their development.
Great Job! You covered most everything and kept it interesting. Thank You!
Great video
my dad had a story about m1 thumb
Most of all only words. Not interesting
Both beautiful 😍, you always bring the "bang " to all your content. Thank you Sir. Shoot very cool
What ❓❓❕
France was also seriously looking at adopting a semi auto rifle in the inter war period. Which led to them adopting one in 1940.
Why did I get an ad for a Saudi Arabia vacation during this video? Lol. Oh youtube...
Does the SVT have any issues with rim lock? I’ve never loaded 54 rimed in a magazine Or does the striper clip help? JW.
СВТ заряжается обоймой от винтовки Мосина 5 патронов.
Did you mention main feature of SVT?
That SVT have fluted chamber?
СВТ - 40 имеет канавки Ривелли в патроннике.

I find the svt brittle or flimsy compared to the garand. The svt and the k43 are comparable. The garand is a step above. IMHO
Great video as usual Chris. This American is not fond of the M1. I always felt it was over complicated for what it is. Just one man's opinion though.
It freedom
@@krisalvarez5815 that it is. I do love the rifle itself and how they shoot honestly, but from an engineering and design standpoint, not so much.
@Jaime D as someone with a couple decades in machining, fabricating, and manufacturing, I can tell you it's not the easiest firearm to produce effeciently or cheaply.
Is it actually "N Block" or "M"?
en bloc
@@wcharliewilson7004 thank you.
@@joshuagibson2520 You're welcome, Josh...
Finish atleast is much better on svt 40.
Be awesome to include a K43/G43 in this review.
You should do a collaboration with Ian McCollum AKA "Gun Jesus" of forgotten weapons.
I hope to have an M1 one day and I hope I still know you when that day comes because if I try to clean it myself it looks like I’ll be bringing you a box of pieces that used to be a beautiful historic rifle!
We it is freedom
@Billy Hearn III thank you I will think about it and let you know soon
Drool...
I’m fortunate enough to own both
Supporting comment for the algorithm
very cool want both but prices nuts so it will be long time
Who the hell would sell their SVT? I personally don't believe in selling any firearm that I own unless it's really just a piece of crap which I've yet to even do because every firearm I've ever owned so far I've liked some women like more than others but I still love all my firearms none the less. I would never saw an SVT these are not very common guns and they do have a price tag on them that is pretty hefty
Is it Armchair historian?
