Never argue with the business end of an M1

Take a close look at that M1
prop gun
stacking swivel - full loop
gas cylinder lock screw look off also
He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose
There are no great men, only great challenges that ordinary men are forced by circumstances to meet.

Mark, in the movie and in this scene, the stacking swivel is split as usual. In another, earlier scene Clint's character racks the bolt, inserts a clip, and taps the bolt back forward. Don't know if it is fake or not but I assume an artist for the promotion department felt the split ring was somehow wrong and "healed" it!
In another scene he's got the Garand and a 1911 apart on a table cleaning them.

that scene is right near the end of the movie just before he went out to buck the gang. Call it suicide by punk but he got the gang off the street.
