August 9th, 2003 - M1 Garand Bump Fire
Our next installment of Bump Fire Academy presents the M-1 Garand, the primary US battle rifle of WWII. Firing eight-rounds of .30-06 in under a second is a fast, but exciting ride. My Garand happens to be from the Civilian Marksmanship Program and the receiver was made by the Springfield Armory in October 1944. I'd like to believe that this made its way through the Ardennes and was picking off Nazis in Berlin, but we'll never know for sure.
