Harley Davidson and the M1 Garand…

The M1 Garand is an iconic, historical and valuable piece of history.  This rifle, carried by American and Allied Forces, is what won World War II and kept South Korea free.

“In my opinion, the M1 rifle is the greatest battle implement ever devised.” 

-General George S. Patton-

 

Truly Addicting

Believe it or not, owning the M1 Garand is just as addicting as the Harley Davidson motorcycle or a vintage muscle car, and the desire to keep adding to it is just as strong!!

Three Kinds of Owners

They say there are three kinds of M1 Garand owners:

  1.  Collectors
  2.  Shooters
  3.  In between

For those who are interested, there are original time period correct or reproduced new gear like a soldier would have carried when issued the M1 Garand.  So, depending on your budget and depth of interest, either can be obtained.

Types of Gear

  • Bayonet and Scabbard
  • Cartridge Belt
  • Ammo Pouches
  • Enbloc Clips
  • First Aid Kit
  • Canteen and Canteen Cup
  • Canteen Cover
  • Sling

Below is an excellent video of the most common items that would have been issued to a soldier with an M1 Garand.

How to Obtain an M1 Garand

There are M1 Garands out there to be had, finding them and at a reasonable cost is the chore.  Just keep in mind, the M1 is a very valuable firearm, it is an icon, and a historical item.

I do have M1’s and associated gear on hand from time to time.  Visit my Gun Store Page regularly.

Be Safe Out There
