	M1C Sniper Rifle
		On the basis of Infantry Board tests of the M1E7 and M1E8 rifles, the M1E7 equipped with a two and one half power telescope was standardized in June 1944 as U.S. Rifle, Caliber.30, M1C (Sniper's).
		The Marines used the M1903A1/Unertl as its primary sniper rifle, partly because the M1C was in short supply during early action.
		The tube diameter was.866 inch, and the overall length of the scope was 12.875 inches with the rubber eyepiece and objective shield extended.

		After there was a push to standardize sniper equipment, the Marine Corps Equipment Board did an extensive study of optics under field conditions and recommended a scope of about 8x, with an objective lens of about one and half inches, a medium fine cross hair reticle, and double micrometer quarter minute click mounts.
		The M1 was adopted as the standard issue rifle in 1932 and started to enter service in 1936, which led to constant refinement of the rifle.
		This precluded any work on a sniper version of the M1, but as the war broke out, there was a large demand for scoped rifles, and this lead to the adoption of the M1903A4 and also the authorization to produce a sniper version of the M1.

	More on sniper rifle
		Sniper rifle is a term most frequently applied to rifles used by military or law enforcement to ensure accurate placement of shots at greater ranges than other small arms.
		Rifle barrels employed in sniper rifles are normally of precise manufacture and of a heavier cross section than more traditional barrels in order to reduce the change in impact points between a first shot from a cold barrel and a follow-up shot from a warm barrel.
		Sniper rifles are considered ineffective beyond the distance a carefully-fired shot is guaranteed to strike the target.

	Modern Firearms - Rifle M1 Garang
		Early rifles were built using somewhat rare system of the cartridge primer blowback, but due to some reasons this system was unsuitable for a military rifle, so he switched to the more common gas-operated system.
		Almost all M1 rifles of the early issue were quickly rebuilt to adopt a new gas system, so very few "original" M1 Garand rifles survived to present days, and those are extremely expensive collectors items.
		Sniper versions (M1C and M1D) also featured scope mounts on the receiver, offset to the left from the axis of the rifle, so it was possible to load it with clips and also to use its iron sights with scope installed (in the case of the scope damage, for example).

		The rifle is usually fired until all eight rounds are expended, after which the bolt is automatically locked back and the clip ejected, readying the rifle for the insertion of a fresh clip of ammunition.
		In June of 1944, the M1C was adopted as a standard sniper rifle by the U.S. Army to suplement the venerable M1903A4.

	M1903A1 Sniper Rifle
		The M1C sniper rifle with M82 sight was reasonably effective from 400-600 yards, but not beyond.
		With most of the Korean peninsula covered by a complicated array of hills and ridges, much of the action necessarily took place between those ridges, especially after the war had settled into a static defense of fortified positions.
		Nevertheless, in late 1951, the weapon was declared "Limited Standard" and replaced with the M1C, for many of the reasons the M1903A1 had been replaced with the M1.

	The M24 Sniper Weapon System
		The downsides to 5-R rifling are the greater than normal metallic fouling of the bore during the break-in period, and greater difficulty in barrel production, resulting in a more expensive barrel.
		Depending upon the caliber of the rifle on which the scope is mounted, the shooter selects the appropriate cam, sights in the rifle, and then can dial in the range on the BDC (though, of course, the shooter must still take into account altitude, humidity, temperature, etc., as they affect bullet drop).
		With ten years of use, several new barrels and approximately 75,000 rounds through them, the rifles have performed well beyond the expectations of those involved with the system’s development, in particular given that the rifles are used for training and undergo significant stresses.

		The rifle with the barrel mounted scope is an M1D and came along after the M1C as a simplified sniper modification which could be performed at nearly any maitanence level rather than at the factory as the M1C demanded.
		The M1C was declared substitute standard after WWII and many were converted back to standard M1 service rifles by removing the receiver mount and plugging the holes, but many remained in inventory for issue to snipers.
		Since an M1C could be produced at nearly any level at any time at all it does not bring the same money as the factory built M1C and is hard to document as original without release papers from the DCM/CMP or the military.
