For some reason I can't access either. Get the "web page can not be found" page.
Would also appreciate an email PDF. Thanks Joe, joewill421@verizon.net

For those still having challenges with the PDF file, this web site article was "iFramed", "stickied" and placed at the top of this forum in January.

M1 Garand - Rifle of the Millions

There's a lot of old training videos, articles and manuals gathered from around the Internet with some great content in those sticky threads for serious collectors of M1 Garand/M14/M1A Rifles.

At the end of the article, it says that a hard rain storm will put the Garand out of commission. In what way does this happen ? I don't see it, unless it refers to the kind of grease used. In that case it is a failure of the grease and not of the rifle.
I have seen posts, usually referring to the M14, stating that the action opens before the bullet has left the barrel. I have always disputed that claim. This article debunks that myth confirming what I have always believed.
The bolt cannot turn under the pressure still on the lugs, and case wall until the bullet exits.
