    The receivers and bolts on those weren't blued when they would have entered service in WW1. Chads rifle is what they would look like when they were new.

  • @maxheadspace2975
    @maxheadspace2975 6 лет назад +3

    Those rear sights should be calibrated for the 154 grain load. That was the rifle load during WW1. The 198 grain load was introduced very late in the war for machine guns and was standardized for both in 1935 with the adoption of the K98k.

    I am a train engineer guys. We don't make noise to annoy you. Every sound a train makes has meaning. We are required under severe penalty to make certain noises at crossings and more. It is not our intention to annoy you. Just doing what we can to warn you that we have a machine that takes up to a mile to stop. See an attractive soccer Mom with a mini van full of kids go under the nose of a train at 60 mph and you will know what we deal with. You never get over it. Love your channel Eric and I'm a big fan. That said don't hate on that guy doing his job. Trains and guns are similar. Once set in motion you can't take it back.

      I have no idea what happened to my great uncle's guns and stuff after I left for Vietnam in 1967. He died in 1970 while I was still in Vietnam. No one in the family knew any thing about his guns and stuff. When I was reported as KIA my mother sold off about half of my guns before she found out that I wasn't dead, after all.

    • @alecingram4669

    The standard Garand qualification course went out to 500 yards. (And probably the '03 course that went before it.) But a big target - from memory, the bull may have been about the size of your gong or slightly bigger. (Been a few years since Coast Guard boot camp in 1970. The Coast Guard used the Garand until late 1970 or early 1971.)

    You also need to do a Gew 98M with the tangent rear sight instead of the Lange Vizier rear. Also a Gew 88 would be fairly neat, maybe an 88/05. There are so many surplus rifles that would be cool to see shot at 600 yards. Awesome videos, please keep them coming.

    Edit to add: Maybe it would be good to swap that target out with a man-sized silhouette target. At 600 yards, I don't think anyone would judge.

I was amazed when he told me when it was made. It was every bit as accurate with iron sights as the modern rifles I had shot.

    As I'm watching, all I can see is those trees blowing in the wind in the background. Good shooting in tough conditions.

    Garand, with a Kreiger GI barrel installed by Ray and NM trigger. I have one you can borrow. :-) Have some Creedmoor 30-06 ammo or hand loads as well. 155 Nosler Custom comps over 47gr H4895 in once fired Lapua brass.
