Always loved the artist's concept sling swivels on the screen shot...

Not a real Garand :-(

Plastic rifle? Resin?

[HOOKED ON HISTORY]

Don't think there is a hole at the muzzle.

Reviewing a very high resolution screen shot of that frame shows only a "dimple" inside the crown of the muzzle, and the doll's head of the rear sight aperture looks very thick, the sling swivels are a very light duty "coathanger" wire suggests a resin or rubber dummy rifle.

Link will take you to the off site image in 1280 X 853 resolution that is the same frame grab as the original post.

Please excuse this if it double posts, but it didn't seem to take the first time.

Marty Morgan used a replica in a documentary in which he had to blow up an M1. We featured it in the Winter 2014 GCA Journal.

Also, trace the line of the muzzle and you'll see that it is tipped vertically so that the breech would have been too low in the receiver.
