Dumb A$$ Garand Video of the Day
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.

You can tell when a guy has way more money than he needs, he destroys a rifle that any of us would gladly take off him. That is until after the vid when no part of it remains serviceable...

Is there a reason I really need to watch this? Or is it click-bait?

One of my many pet peeves: Gah-rand'. The man's name was Gare'-end--rhymes with errand.

It's not his money, he has monitized being a profession idiot.
I know a guy who accidently fired an 8x57 round out of a Garand
- he also managed to fire a .30-06 thru an HK91...
The HK survived.

Stupidest thing I’ve seen. Personal take-aways: 1) no need to watch any more of his channel and 2)what was 5-11 thinking when they decided to sponsor this guy?

Garand
"The man's name was Gare'-end--rhymes with errand"
It has always been controversial. I asked his son Richard and he said they never heard anything except Guh-RAND, so I thought it was solved... until an old-time collector told me about the time he actually called Mr. Garand on the phone. He had a question about the M1 and simply asked Information if they had a Garand in Springfield, Mass. They did, and he just called. A man answered and Larry said, "Can I speak to Mr. Guh-RAND, please?" The man said, "It's GAR-end" -- this is he." It became pretty clear that he accepted what the world wanted to call him, but he preferred the original French Canadian he was given, including his first name Jean.
It presented a bit of a problem for the GCA... I decided we would retain "Guh RAND Collectors" because that's what everybody calls the rifle we collect, but when talking about the inventor, we would use the GAR end that he preferred. Solomon said to cut the baby in half. LOL
Real men measure once and cut.
