Comprehensive guide to owning and enjoying this World War II
classic.
The only full-power, semiautomatic standard infantry rifle in
existence during World War II, the M1 Garand remains the most popular
high-powered target semiautomatic in the world – and arguably the most rugged
and durable.
This sequel to The Complete M1 Garand is an up-to-date guide to
admiring, shooting and collecting this World War II legacy well into the 21st
Century. Part One examines its tactical, developmental and industrial history;
takes a realistic look at the rifle’s perceived 'flaws'; and presents savvy
advice on buying parts and parts kits for the M1 in today’s
marketplace.
Plus, in response to overwhelming demand, this book incorporates
information detailing the M1's World War II and post-war delivery chronology, to
be used as a general guideline when restoring an M1.
The second half of the book, dedicated to the enjoyment and
maintenance of the M1, addresses some common questions about the rifle and
offers detailed instruction on some expert procedures for maintaining and
smoothing this wartime classic.
