Old US Army M1 Garand video

[Bob01605]

I ran across this black and white M1 Garand video on Youtube made over 60 years ago to show soldiers how their M1 Garand operates. I found it interesting .. You may or may not like it?

I saw that in a training film as a two part set including how to use the sling; forgot which forum. I saw another on the M1/M2 carbine recently showing how it had been re-engineered to go to full auto at a flip of a switch. Use the same type graphics and a 5X model with movable pieces that a staff sergeant changed around according to the narrator.

Many different training films can be found on milsurps.com each particular forum section has its related training films...also you can spend hours on your tube

Rifle Marksmanship with the M1 Garand Rifle (1942) for starters

Many can also be found here Rifle Marksmanship with the M1 Rifle : U.S. War Department : Free Download & Streaming : Internet Archive
Great info and still holds true today on the basics.

That's the one I saw. Watched the whole thing. The mechanics of the M1 were in it.
