I am floored by the quality and presentation of the data. Well done !
Glad you liked it!
Wow Fantastic work, debunking Garand myth is satisfying. Semper Fidelis.
Glad you enjoyed it
I was concerned about using the 150 grain hunting ammo I found at the store in my M1, this put me more at ease using it. Thanks.
By the way your chart is well put together.
This is the best video and presentation of M1 Garand on RUclips!
Many thanks...please share as often as you can!
Nice video!
Good job and much needed info! I was always leery of the "old wives tales" of ammo and the Garand M1's. Glad to see some real evidence and and good opinion that agrees with mine (cause I know I'm always right) and supports the same conclusions. Thanks!
Nice video thank you!
I recently got an M1 been to the range few times , I was shooting LC72 no issues
Turkey Ammo 64-65
I have heard people having issues with turkey ammo from 63
I shoot maybe about 100 rounds and I had one shell stocked , gun instructor was there an Korean War veteran who train with the rifle and explain to me to use proper lubricant on the barrel mouth were the extraction happens .
He got the shell out by pushing the operating rod down and the butt at the same time .
He said was a common issue if the gun wasn’t properly lubricated .
Now I got S&B M2 ball and gonna try it when season starts.
Also shoot PPU no issues whatsoever
I enjoyed adjusting the variable gas cylinder plug. Suster? One click in until bolt cycled and picked up new round then locked it with outer screw
This is the best solution - tailor your gas to the load you are using. People who shoot ARs are well used to adjustable gas systems, which means a softer recoiling gun that doesn't stress the parts unnecessarily. No reason not to treat the Garand the same way.
The only scary,hot surplus round I shot out of my 44 unmolested Winchester was Genevelot 49 . It kicked like a mule. Only shot 3 rounds, scary hot. It is a 150 gr all copper and lead corrosive primer round made in France. It had a new op-rod spring at the time.
have always used commercial/factory 150 grain/never had a problem /issues at all.,your findings are 100 percent right on ..thanks for posting...
Excellent info 👍. I'm seriously considering the garand and I've watched some of your other videos to. What is your opinion on the adjustable gas plug or do you feel it's not really necessary? Thanks
Not necessary...testing shows it's not that a big of a concern
@@themilsurpguy8758 Good. I was worried that with lesser velocity ammo it may not cycle properly. I will mostly be shooting CMP ammo and hunting ammo in the average velocity 165 to 180 grain. Plus I was not sure if it would be CMP JCG match legal. It's nice to know I don't have anything to be worried about. Thanks
@@brianlee6849 How is yours holding up? I'm especially curious about the 180 grain
@@Roxas13XIII sorry I can't help you. I'm still looking for a good Garand . Next year when I build my house I'll have my own personal 300 yd range and I plan on testing all of the bullets. Thanks 👍
Would you recommend getting a Garand Gear plug or one of the adjustable plugs just to be safe? I am getting a Garand from the CMP soon and want to be able to shoot whatever ammo I can get my hands on since it is hard to find right now and if nothing else, it will be less hard on the gun.
If you have watched the videos I see no need for either of those. The rifle runs fine as is when properly lubricated and with good springs. If anything get a few spare springs which should easily last several thousand rounds each.
Latest testing shows the wolff springs actually reduce oprod velocity an average of 10%. So thats an option as well.
The aftermarket plugs can cause cycling issues in some guns with wear in the gas system.
I don't use the aftermarket screws and have no plans to do so. If they were really needed they would have been available in the late 50's when civilians first started shooting garands.
Don’t know if you are looking right now, but SG ammo has some 30-06 at a relatively reasonable price at the moment.
I like m1 garands
Have you used or tested the Schuster gas plug?
Why? No reason to as it's needed.
So I can feel comfortable shooting ANY 30-06 out of my superb m1 garand with a garand gear Gas plug?
Pretty much...stay away from "light magnums" etc. But for any common over the counter round I wouldn't worry in a properly working and greased rifle.
want to know your opinion on the schuster high volume gas plug
throw it away...its not needed
@@themilsurpguy8758 Thanks for the video, i'm convinced!
Can I shoot m1 Garand ammo out of my Remington 700 30-06?....thanks in advance for the response.
All day long..
Oops, sorry Ooh Rah, thought i'd resubbed all my subs.
*So can anyone please dumb this down for me? What can I buy and use safely? What grain or brand or whatever are we able to use safely? What does this mean so I dont spend so much on "M1 Garand Special ammo" like PPU and "Made for M1 Garand ammo"?*
it means that pretty much all commercial ammo is fine in your garand if it's properly greased and has a good oprod spring 19.5"+ long
Get the M1 ammo to be safe. I use a garandgear plug and shoot M1 ammo. These are very old rifles. Too valuable to take a chance on your op-rod.
So I guess the myth of shooting red-hot commercial ammo on a Garand has been busted. You also put yourself at harm’s way testing Turkish 8mm ammo on a G43.
Please explain the dangers of shooting Turk 8mm in a G43.
@@themilsurpguy8758 Myth: Turkish 8mm has been poorly stored by the Turks, which caused pressure to rise beyond safe levels, especially for G43s, FN49s MG 34s and MG42s A Mauser can weather almost anything because it's bolt-action.
Gun Jesus makes his case here. Again, these are not my words: ruclips.net/video/AunvMjcJPHY/видео.html
@@DNchap1417 again..watch my video which addresses the issues and gives better tests and data and shows that his claims are false..

No its not, do more research i learned the hard way I bent Op rod then cracked my stock, AND sometimes the action would drop out. kept repairing until I figured out all that commercial Winchester ammo I bought at Kmart was the culprit. Myth I can assure has NOT Been busted. Go ahead shoot 220 grain or commercial ammo with who knows what powder burn rate, bullets EVENTUALLY you'll see for yourself if its a myth I guarantee it!!!! I shot garand with cmp Greek ammo or m2 ball garand ran great.
@@msgt1942 Aren't we talking about 150 grain commercial ammo here?
