Well here in MA it's illegal to have a bayonet on any firearm so I need to apply for a special federal license first :-/

They're hard to find in good shape, and the ones you can find aren't cheap. Still pricey to build one but it'll be over several months so it wont be too bad I hope

/back to M1 Garand....

 

[toymdngn]

Well I guess I will try to work on my grammar

Edit: tree'd

 

[a6m5]

You are gonna die, Mike. That was new. 👍

M1 Garand's perhaps the most famous rifle from the WWII. Good luck with this project! 👍

I recently were given(was or were? lol) a Japanese WWII rifle, Arisaka. It's a "last ditch" model produced towards the end of the war, so it's really crudely built.

 

[HumanDestroyah]

M1's are such beautiful rifles (irony). Good luck with your build, I look forward to seeing more!


Edit: mike, are you still alive?

 

[Antonisbob]

What just happened here?

About the bayonet, I never knew there was laws against it. You learn something new every day!

 

[Matthew77258]

Well.......That was interesting.....

Good luck building the M1, I look forward to seeing pictures

As its been said in one of my favorite movies, everything's illegal in Massachusetts haha

 

[Bopop4]

Nice project. 👍
When the Garand empties its magazine and automatically ejects it, does it really make a pinging loud enough that enemy soldiers can hear it?
