M1 Garand En Bloc with Dummy Cartridges.

[USGI]

When I got my Garand about 3 years ago, I already had (1) clip - so made dummies for it with mixed brass I had on hand. Here's a couple pictures taken then, before I learned that you're supposed to have the top round on the RH side of the clip. With yours, if you chambered a round and pulled the trigger could the firing pin be damaged? - Bob

Absolutely not. Think how many hours Marines sat "snapping in", dry firing practice. Dry firing practice has never broken a firing pin that I've seen.

The En Bloc's with the cartridges is exactly how I bought them. I've not messed with them at all, I jut thought they were cool and have them sitting on display.

I have a set of FA sitting here as well.
