I wonder if your FM23-5 is from 1951. That one shows Table II and IV (rapid fire) as needing 9 rounds. The one from 1940 shows Table II/IV (rapid fire) as consisting of only 8 shots. On pg 299 of the 1951 version, it does say how to do 9 rounds. You got it right, the firer loads a single round into the rifle, and has the full clip elsewhere (they require it to be in the "third pocket of his cartridge belt"). Shoot the one round, then reload with the full clip and continue the course of fire.
The one I referenced was dated 1965. Knowing the changes post-war to Vietnam the Army was making in the battle rifle, I can’t imagine the doctrine changed too much regarding the Garand. By Vietnam the only American forces armed with it I would think would be the national guard. Thanks for coming by!
@@cornfromajar3222 It seems to have changed quite a bit from the 40s to the 60s, mainly due to "TRAINFIRE" which started in mid50s. That's why the 23-71 from 1965 is different in many respects from the 1951 version. Interesting to see how it all developed!
I was second guessing myself about the audio in this video when I edited it. I’ll try to get them a little more consistent in the future. I’m kinda stuck because I don’t have the luxury of shooting by myself I’m always at the range with other people. Thanks for coming by!
Enjoyed watching your various videos on the M1 Garand. Thanks for sharing 👍🏻

The gun shot in the opening of the video made me jump and think a gun fight was on because of my earbuds fooled me lol
Pretty sweet channel right?

Yes - not a nitpicker but it is a compass not a protractor. Thank you for your video.
I should have caught that in editing. You’re right! Thanks for coming by!
Cool
Thanks!
