80,000 M-1 Garands ***OVERWHELMING*** 

Nice

Ping and kaching

That's the sound from Call of Duty!

*FIRE ALL AT ONCE WITH ONE ROUND LOADED!!!*

@@lehonwhale8070 Wedge the end of a matchstick over the hammer spring, and you can fire all 8 at once....

He said "very much so" lol...

Ya i laughed also. Its only jerry.

LMAO at that question.

Like asking Tiger Woods whats his handicap.

just like meeting old friends

Who is buying one? Seems like a lot of paperwork.

@@wannabecarguy I want one, maybe ten,

Obama and Clinton went out of their way to destroy them. Better hope Trump doesn't do any thing to try to destroy any of these.

@@LegalTyranny Yeah, they were also the best thing for the gun companies. Sold more guns then, then now.

thelastjohnwayne I worked with this guy at dominos 10 years ago!

Yeah lol it was scripted

@@hunterwarren5349 Maybe, maybe not....only the people who worked there that day know for sure.

@@G56AG But I do tho

RebelSapper never had the joy. Send me yours I’ll try it out 😉

I love that! M1 Garand rifles rock dude! :-)

I was about 10 in '66 and had only shot .22s. A Nebraska rancher handed me a rifle and said try this. Took a shot at a fence post a couple hundred yards away. Good God ! A dust cloud appeared near the post simultaneously with the report. Amazed at the power. Years later I realized he handed me an M1 Garand.

Head out to the local range, many AR style rifles no one bats an eye. Take the out the Garand and usually get some lookyloos. She loves the attention :)

Tell me if it doesn't make every one else on the line stop and turn their head when it goes boom for the first time ;). I know...

Damn right

Elisha Miley Well Sometimes the Germans, and their space magic wins out.

I carried one in ROTC, JR. when I was in high school. The rifle was inoperable, I think the firing pin was removed. We had drill twice a week, and I believe it weighed 10.5 pound s unloaded. The ROTC, Jr. was mandatory sophomores and above. You had to pass it to graduate. This was a public high school in Massachusetts. Try doing that today.

Great story. I attended a military high school. We also marched with the M-1 rifle. Every spring we all went to a nearby National Guard facility that had a 200 yd. range and fired for record. The M-1 was a great battle rifle that made a great contribution to our country's success in WW II and the Korean Conflict.

@@JamesBond-uz2dm What years ? I got to shoot some air rifles at 6th grade Camp .. Graduated in 1979 .. Now finally almost 40 years later my High School has a Trap shooting Team.. I was in 4-H Trap shooting for a year or two..

best repellant when being bothered by visitors

Helps the boss think you're busy

Well they have to look busy!!! ;-) lol

something with lots of sparks!

you can also feel the money running out of your wallet.

.... An insurgency? Years away from the dissolution of the su? Highly doubt it

Like Bill Clinton did to the m-14s

@Zachary Thomas True, unfortunately.

From the Philippines?!?! In unfired condition!?!?! Why the heck didnt the Government offer it to us here!?!?!?

@@macbolan9374 Because they go directly to the CAFGU or to any lucky ROTC program as a Dewat. Don't expect the Government to give citizens in here guns...

Yeah. And somehow the cost of storing them put their current price at around 1500 up.

He was talking about surplus Mausers

Maybe they thought he was from CNN, trying to do a "gun control" hit-piece! : )

Kind of like my dad in a way. He was in the Korean War conflict but was in the state side and never got sent over, and my dad bragged about these guns and the 30 Carbine.

My father was also a part of Patton's division 5th Infantry received a bronze star in the Ardennes forest with his M1 Garand!! Looking to get one myself.

Now that would be a reason to buy one.

Did your dad tell you that Patton said we defeated the wrong enemy before he was assassinated by the jews in the soviet NKVD?

My uncle was with Patton also in north Africa.

Nik Drown I bought one from a gun store in 1988... The action and barrel were UNFIRED Springfield armory... The stock looked like it was dragged behind a Jeep for 4 years. He wanted $275... I talked him down to $225. My uncle sanded the stock down gently and true oiled it a bunch of coats. Try and find that deal today.🤣 And yes I still have it.👍

I also have a '43 SA 1.3M serial# range ! So cool

BillMcGirr that’s awesome! Pretty sure that’s about the time the previous owner acquired mine. He paid around the same for it too. I got offered $18hun for it. I said absolutely not! That piece is one I’ve wanted since I was a kid and I inherited from my father in law who never shot it until I talked him into it one xmas gathering. He knew I had a lot of love for it and wanted me to have it after his passing. No amount of $ is gettin that from me!

John Schenck there’s something special knowing that they probably seen action and could have been in some of the most notorious battles of the war. They are definitely a work of art really! Having one that’s close to true is rare and even most that get these CMP won’t get close. Even after WW2 they came back and would get interchanged and then going to Korea they went through the same thing.

@@nikdrown Mine is not all original, has a 1960'ish barrel. Wood is original and it looks like many of the other parts are too. trigger group has been gone through though and doesn't look original - but I'm not an M1 expert by any means. I sure do enjoy it though and love the thwack it makes on the 300 yd plate at our local rifle range.

I signed up for notifications for I.R.S. auctions decades ago, but all I ever saw listed was junk (rusty file cabinets, etc.). Then, I was at a car dealership buying parts one day, and I overheard a conversation. Someone had a connection in a local Sheriff's office, I believe, and they were telling someone else that, whenever something good was coming up in the Sheriff's auctions, like an offshore racing boat, he would be the only one notified, and likely be the only bidder. Probably the same reason I was only getting notified of "junk" I.R.S. auctions. What a scam...

Yea you could say he's an enthusiast...

I just about fell out when he asked Jerry that! Something about a bear and the woods came to mind. ;-)

The gunsmith’s humor is awesome. I guess people didn’t pick up on it.

William Gates I used to work w him at dominos 10 or so years ago. That's his sense of humor lol.

Good story and I'm thankful for your Dad's service. Keep looking and eventually one will show up. I was lucky enough to get one at a Myrtle Beach SC gun show about 3 years ago. It was on a table with another one and a WW2 Enfield (British). I wanted the Springfield and the Enfield but only got the M1. My mistake was I circled the show, went to the parking lot to leave, and my wife told me to go back in and get them anyway. The Enfield was gone when I went back in.

Get one from the CMP! They're about $800 shipped. You have to jump through a few hoops but it's worth it....I got a nice Springfield that was used by a marine at the Battle for Okinawa. And YES, you need to fire it, you need to take it apart and clean it, you need to use it like it was meant to be used!

Did you get your rifle yet, and if so, how was it?

What you need to do is go to the CMP store in Ala. They are there, but go when they open at 8AM or your choices will be limited.

@Ojibwa62 x You are right that you can't walk in and make a purchase like a gun store. That is because CMP isn't a gun store, it's a marksmanship program. In 1949 (if memory serves me) the program was established. The purpose was to train up riflemen and refine their skills through organized activities and clubs. Heck, even public schools had competitive rifle teams, and a few survive today. But the "hoops" you complain are less invasive than the 4473 you fill out at a gun shop, if you go that route. You go through 'hoops' to get a CCW, a driver's license, a Passport and you will go through a crapload of hoops for the Real ID to get the star on your driver's license. To meet the CMP standards in the easiest way is simple. All you need to do is join the Garand Collectors Association ($20) a year, and check the tic box to have your info sent to CMP and the cryteria is met: that's it. That alone beats the expense of an expensive club, especially if you live far away from one. The rest of the process is no different than a gun shop, except that you don't have to fill out a 4473, yet CMP meets all the ATFE regulations any gun shop must meet. The biggest difference between the gun shop and CMP is you can order a Garand or any other rifle, etc. from them and have it delivered to your doorstep. Try that with a gun store or any other online vendor...it won't happen. If you go to CMP, you can select the rifle and leave with it. One caveat is that if the ATFEs Instant Check system is down it may have to be shipped to you, the same delay as a gun shop or at a gun show. And the shop or store will not ship it to you and where some states may allow it under there laws you will be charged for shipping whereas CMP doesn't. One additional perk with CMP is they give you a voucher for a full day at their Class A range that is valid for a full year. And you don't have to shoot only your Garand, you can shoot any rifle. Its doubtful a gun shop has that perk. So much for the whining about "hoops", buy one or not. I just wanted to bring the facts to the table so others aren't misled by spurious misinformation.

Because hoarders buy them up and charge guys out the butt for them . 80 , 000 in one lot but guys try to tell you that the cost so much because they are rare .

@@justa.american8303 Great information!👍

Indy Custom Made: maybe he’s too busy or teasing him. Everybody knows Jerry’s an amateur 🤣👊🏼🇺🇸

Exactly they’re ruining the history

And that m1 statue like seriously they could be sold for parts not left to rust away

alanjrkaminski maybe so but I still think it’s disrespectful and could be parted out

I think it's more about the preservation of the history than its ruination. The rifles history is retained regardless. For me it's kind of like owning a classic car, I don't want some rust bucket sitting in my driveway, regardless of whether or not i drive it, because it "looks like it has stories to tell." It deserves to be restored *because* it's a part of history and I want it to last. Just my two cents.

Agree

Yanks won nothing bro. Turned up 2 years late after the Russians had already smashed the Wermacht and RAF smashed the Luftwaffe.

man get in your car and GO

@@tabcreedence6553 trust that I will be. Very soon.

The range is awesome. I’m in northeast Alabama. I’ve been a couple of times to do the steel challenge. Go check it out. You won’t be disappointed!

Talladega Marksmanship Park is one of the nicest and best equipped gun ranges in the World.

@@supertruckertom definitely gonna be checking them out.

No, that's Ian from Forgotten Weapons, aka Gun Jesus.

I will say no

I live in Ohio so Camp Perry is not worlds away. Did you have a specific kind in mind to buy or did you just pick the nicest/reasonably priced one you could find? My big brother really wants one.

@@nicholaspatton5590 it takes time to pick one. You'll want to borrow their guages to check the barrel. Mine is like a 1-1/2 almost a 2. That's about what you want. Any more than 2 and it's considered shot out. They range in price too. It's a good time but plan on spending several hours looking

If you go to the CMP website and fill out a form, you can buy one for 600

ALL government surplus is AUCTIONED OFF (or buried in a hole in the ground)

@@dzak455 yes you can

Should send hong kong freedom fighters more modern weapons for cheaper prices. Sell the $800 garand and buy PSA $350 AR-15s with optional third pin holes to ventilate charlie.

Can you email my media guy John@miculek.com

Shoot a small engine running nitrous with nitromethane with a .50 cal rifle 🤣 lol I couldn't help but combine the best of both worlds🤷

I thought Lee ordered it out of a catalog ??? That's why the ATF said you can't order guns anymore. .

@@GeneralAlex4 Yes, he bought it from Klein's by mail order, they cost about 20 dollars. that's why Klein's sports stores disappeared.? That was an amazing place to visit a candy store for people that liked guns.

Yes your country sold you out...! Look at what happened to Germany when that happened...An many more countrys to..Look it up it is a long list... UK is a socialist country now an that my friend is a very scary thing...!

steve shoemaker Hi Steve you are right, this world plague of leftwing socialism has slowly crept into the west over 20 years, even your great country has the rabid lefties knocking on your door and i am glad that the shooting community is making a stand but if you look at Brexit in the UK it has exposed the very remoaner class of politicians who have allowed this Leftwing socialism to thrive over here, Brexit have opened peoples eyes to the rotten core of politics in the UK and we are about to show these traitors what we really think of them in the general election 12th December. hopefully it will be a turning point in the fight against leftwing socialism and one day i can shoot a Garand on a UK range.

@@chrisabraham8793 Yes the left is a bunch of do gooders so thay think...l hope every thing comes out good for your Country...Thanks..!

There are a lot of guns in the UK. Take them back by force. It is your right, not theirs. Shoot any who oppose you. That's how it's done.

@@rayward9265 Yes l agree...!

PNP needs to find and fix 'the usual suspects' in Mindanao.

The USA dosent care about us, They scold us, and obama was leader of the usual suspects, liberals scold us, VFA stop because USA never really helps, tgey want to use us. Next time China might let loyal friends Keep guns Usa is busy hating friends, and sanctions, China busy business....

Diabetes

Probably a skin cancer like a basal cell that got aggressive or a burn. I don't think he would think its 'cool'. I spent a life time asking people how they lost fingers, hands, legs, and various other body parts before putting them to sleep for surgery. . Most of the stories were of stupid careless behavior on their or another persons part. And the gift keeps giving because if you survive the error you get to repeat the story for the rest of your life when some one asks.

@@JayKayKay7 well put, I personally don't ask anyone about their scars. Most dont like having them pointed out, and people who like to tell their "scar story" will usually do so unprompted. Whether you want to hear it or not often times. And I've yet to meet anyone who's lost a limb or digit that was happy that its gone.

Yes he fought Mike Tyson years ago...

Terrible, I know...

Not a problem join the bike

What's the problem? Bought 2 on my way to Disney last year, easy peasy, just have you're paperwork and you can walk in and walk right back out with one.

There direct sales page is hard to find. They don't have a direct link on the main page to simply browse inventory. All they have is an auction page. But their direct sales is not obvious.

If it was "easy" The opportunistic weasels would not leave any for us.

The largest hurdle for most people is the marksmanship/clubbing membership requirement. Just join the Garand Collectors Assoc for $25 a year and it fulfills that requirement. Otherwise, no more difficult than a 4473

They make you jump through a ton of hoops just to be allowed to attempt to buy one too.

You can thank Bill Clinton for that, and NOT the CMP. The Dems were hoping that after they created the CMP, it would fail. When it was the DCM, under the Dept of the Army, prior to 1997, you got one rifle, and one rifle only, for life. The DCM did not worry about budget. CMP is a different story. It survives SOLELY through rifle sales and donations. Of course the alternative is regular gun shops, which sell the M1 at a huge mark up. North of 2 grand is not uncommon. The CMP has to pay employees. The DCM had soldiers assigned to the program, doing the majority of the work, at soldier pay. With DCM, a rifle was sent out from the closest US Arsenal, with an available DCM weapon, right to your door. With CMP, the rifles are done at one location, in Anniston, which also supplies the Camp Perry CMP store. The prices for CMP M1's are a bargain, compared to the gun store supply chain. Believe me, I hear what you are saying, but the blame is with Bill Clinton, and the Dems, not the CMP.

@Starks ya CMP in person is like $540 to 5,000 depending on what it is. The great condition c/d model snipers are always 3-5k. Mostly they're $540-1,400 depending on grade, maker & if it's matching. The vast najority of those are $780-1,100. the one i bought last year is my second; I think I paid $1,100 for it out the door. new Criterion308w barrel, 308w plastic block in the mag. 2017 manufactured american walnut stock (looks fantastic). (OpRod broke so they replaced it with an old donor part their cost). 200 rounds of Creedmoor (it's local company and high quality. I took their plant tour!) match ammo 167gr Lapua Scenar in Lapua LRP 308w brass. (The BRASS is worth more than the CMP charges you for the AMMO!) box of 25 clips 2 old GI slings Was a fantastic deal for a shooter. Wasn't looking for a wall gun. I've never loaded it for accuracy and it has a crazy long throat/jump into the lands. Using match ammo I handload for my Styer Scout, it's a 2-3moa gun (so better than average military rifle). Handloads getting to the right distance from the lands might shrink it to 1.5-2moa I'd guess.

Elix Tido no chance, def an act. I knew vaguely of Jerry before ever owning or even knowing anything about guns. Prob saw some pre-RU-vid video of him blasting 759 clays in one take.

Its just a Joke , they came up with . Every time I watch one of Jerrys videos I realize how great this Man is. I can never pronounce his last name though , so in my mind I always think , ' Jerry Makes you Look '.

Garands though technically arent fudd guns.

Got my membership by being in the Army.

Join GSSF. Glock shooting. Only costs $ 35 I think. What I used to get my lovely Grarand.
