Hi! I notice in the U.S. Army marksmanship training films from WWII featuring the Garand ( HERE ), they have a coach sitting by each pupil. That coach cycles the Garand's action by whacking the Op Rod handle after each squeeze of the trigger, allowing the pupil to repeatedly dry fire the rifle. Of course, you immediately notice that the bolt doesn't lock back. A little way down the film, you learn that in training, the students fit a block of wood with drilled out channels on each end into a clip and instert it into the rifle, making it perpetually think think it has a full clip of ammo within. What happened to all the those blocks? :cool: And/or, do the plans for them exist anywhere so we can make our own?
