Description
The Springfield M1 Garand is an iconic American semi-automatic rifle that served as the standard U.S. service rifle during World War II and the Korean War. It is renowned for its reliability, firepower advantage over contemporary bolt-action rifles, and its distinctive "ping" sound when its eight-round en bloc clip ejects after the last shot.
Key Specifications
The M1 Garand, named after its designer John C. Garand, was primarily manufactured by the Springfield Armory, with other manufacturers including Winchester, Harrington & Richardson, and International Harvester.
The key specifications of the M1 Garand include its type as a semi-automatic rifle chambered in .30-06 Springfield (with some later conversions to 7.62x51mm NATO). It typically weighs between 9.5 and 11.6 lbs and has a length of 43.5 inches with a 24-inch barrel. The rifle uses an 8-round en bloc clip feed system and features adjustable aperture rear sights and a wing-protected post front sight. It operates with a gas-operated, closed rotating bolt action and has an effective range of 500 yards.
