Interesting that they'd use Johnston's magazine design.

There is a Johnson Mag Garand at S.A.N.H.S but this one is a Sanford Integral Magazine





Another side loading integral magazine was tested, a derivative of Melvin Johnson’s rotary magazine. This was built by Olin Industries in 1952/53 and was tested in April 1954. It was reported that converting existing M1 Garands to use the rotary magazine would have been “exceedingly difficult and probably impractical.”
