The Japanese Garand

[RCS]

BEAR, The Japanese recovered examples of our M1 Rifle as early as Jan 1942, how many examples did they manufacture by 1945 ? not many, and how
well did they work ? I do not think the Japanese could have mass produced their copy of the M1 rifle at any time during WW2.

I wonder if anyone ever fired one since they were brought here. I do know of at least one deficiency of the Japanese Garand; there was no 'ping'.
