	M1 Garand - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The word "Garand" is pronounced variably as [gəˈrand] or [ˈgærənd]; descendants (and close friend Julian Hatcher) of the rifle's designer, John Garand, generally agree it should be the latter.
		Some Garands were still being used in the Vietnam War in 1963; despite the M14's official adoption in 1957, it was not until 1965 that the changeover from the M1 Garand was completed (with the exception of the sniper variants, which were introduced in WWII and saw action in Korea and Vietnam).
		As stated earlier, the M1 Garand was the direct predecessor of the M14 rifle that replaced it.

	The Gun Zone -- John C. Garand (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		By now Garand had become well known and was transferred to the Ordnance Department, going to work at the original Springfield Armory in Massachusetts in November 1919, where it would take him more 17 years to adapt his rifle to the Army's inflexible but often revised demands.
		Garand was by that time Chief Civilian Engineer when he came up with a semi-automatic.30 caliber rifle, known as "the Garand." The Ordnance Committee, made up of representatives of the Army's main branches was to be Garand's main problem as their requirement was for a design to suit tankers, cavalrymen and the infantry alike.
		Garand wasted the next five years working on rifles that used a radical design where the firing pin also operated the breech mechanism.

	The M1 Garand World War II and Korea Rifle
		The Garand rifle, in spite of its supposed shortcomings, in spite of fears by its critics of disproportionate ammunition expenditures, performed brilliantly throughout its entire military career, compiling a service record as yet unsurpassed by any successor.
		The legend of the Garand was--and is--based upon the unassailable fact that the weapon, in spite of its theoretical weaknesses, WORKS--in the mud, in the rain, in the snow, and in the dust.
		John Garand understood this, for even though the M16 did not yet exist, the principles on which it was to be based did.

	Accurizing An M-1 Garand
		The M-1 Garand may have been a fine battle rifle, but as a target rifle straight from the box it is not competitive.
		While there are only a couple of simple tools, plus a Dremel tool, required to accurize the Garand, the average person should plan on spending the better part of two or three weekends or more working on the rifle for just the basic bedding.
		With the large numbers of Garands in circulation, and with the cost of a decent Garand being less than 1/2 that of an AR, accurizing a Garand is an inexpensive way to get into the high power game and spending the time to make them shoot better is worth the time and effort.
