M1 Garand Rear Sights: Diagrams & Pictures, First Edition - Written & edited by Eric A. Nicolaus. This book outlines the four major types of rear sights used on the M1 Garand rifle, including the: "Spanner" or "Flush Nut" Rear Sight; "Type I" Locking Bar Rear Sight; "Type II & Type III" Locking Bar Rear Sight; and "T105E1" & "M1-M14 Improved T105E1" Rear Sight. What's really nice, in addition to the thorough diagrammatic arrangement of every part making up these rear sights, is the pictures showing the various parts! Most people really do not understand the history, technical make-up, or material requirements of these rear sights, yet this book shows the progression of improvements in technology and machining between the 1930s and into the 1970s. This book is honestly weighted toward those with technical savvy. "Click" HERE to see the FRONT PAGE COVER. "Click" HERE to see the TABLE OF CONTENTS of the book.

A special note for the M1 Garand collector: This book illustrates all of the different rear sights (and all component parts) that were used on the M1 Garand. All of the books I write illustrate manufacturing techniques, tolerances, materials, changes in design, improvements, and a variety of technical and engineering advancements that occurred throughout the life-cycle of the firearm. For example, I honestly am not interested in the knurl pattern differences between the windage knob on the Winchester and Springfield Armory M1 Garand during WWII, etc. However, my book does illustrate what the design should have been! I leave the production variations up to people who are writing for the collector, vice backyard armorer or machining enthusiast.

Basically, every part on the three versions of the M1 rifle is pictured - plus print numbers, part numbers, quantity of issue, maintenance, spares, etc. is described.

Interesting to note - this pamphlet and other SNLs allow the collector to actually see what parts (including part numbers) were actually in use at a given time in history. For example: have you ever really thought about what rear and front sight assemblies were in use, was the follower still using a compensating and op rod spring, and/or what type of trigger guard was in use? Interestingly, this SNL lists previous and present differences to the barrel, butt plate, rear sight elevating pinion, front sight, stock, etc. - i.e., does anyone know what a "gas trap" Garand is?

U.S. Rifle, Cal. .30, M1 Technical Manual TM 9-1275 - This book was published on 15 December 1941. The TM is a "transition" manual and includes information on both the "gas trap" M1 Garand and "gas port" M1 Garand.

My previous experience has told me that: "...the older the manual is, the better it is." This manual has proved me right once again. The TM is 58 pages in length and includes numerous diagrams and pictures of the Garand and it's parts. The pictures are all readable and clear to boot! I have seen very few originals of this manual (actually, only one) - so at least you can now get a really great reproduction copy in 8-1/2" X 11" size!

How To Shoot The U.S. Army Rifle - Originally described as: "A graphic handbook on correct shooting" and published by The Infantry Journal, Inc. (now the Association of the United States Army) in 1943. This 134 page book is all about shooting, sighting in, breathing, positioning, and adjusting the M1 Garand rifle given the weather and/or climate conditions, gauging wind, zeroing the M1 Garand, etc. This book is not for the politically correct - in 1943 the United States was at war with Germany and Japan - it lays out graphically how to handle their troops in combat. Every other page in this book is a black and white picture. On the opposing side is a write-up describing how to do something with the M1 Garand - then you can actually see U.S. Army troops doing it in the picture! I meticulously reconstructed this manual from an exceptional original. The pictures are immaculate and exceptionally readable - actually better then the originals in the book I scanned. The original book size was approximately 5" X 7". After considering paying to print the book as a paperback (at nearly the same price as what I'm now charging), I settled in a standard letter-size book that is wire bound with a hard see through front cover. If you want to learn how to shoot the M1 Garand, this is the book. "Click" HERE to see the front cover and several pages out of How To Shoot The U.S. Army Rifle.

M1 Garand "Principles of Operation" Video, US War Department 1943 Training Film T.F. 9-1172 (Run time: 15 minutes 28 seconds) - If you have a desire to learn about how an M1 Garand actually functions, this is the video for you! This video offers a step by step video/audio symphony of the internal actions of the bolt, op rod, bullet, trigger, hammer, clip latch, extractor, ejector, etc. Ever wonder how the clip is ejected after firing the last round? How about how the op rod functions in concert with the bolt, hammer, extractor, ejector, etc. to eject the spent shell and feed a new round? This is the video! The video is in black and white with audio. I have simply taken an existing (and excellent) 1943 M1 Garand War Department film, corrected the brightness and contrast, converted the file to "Windows Media Player" (WMF) format - which will be found on all Windows-based PCs. You simply put the disk in your PC disk drive - your PC should be able to load and run the file using just about any version of Windows Media Player. Also, by popular demand, I now offer a DVD / TV version as well! BTW: I honestly believe this video is quite the bargain! I have seen the competition charge up to $29.99 for similar videos.

The Big Picture - Marksmanship (Run time: 27 minutes 4 seconds) - Here are some of the actual portions of the video. I have taken "still photos" out of the movie to help the viewer see what is contained within. "Click": John Garand Discussion #1, John Garand Discussion #2, Garand Rifles on Rifle Racks at Springfield Armory, Prone Position - Sighting In Garand Rifle, Loading 8 Round Clip - Garand Rifle and Garand Rifle Squad. The film starts with the Revolutionary War up through Korea - describing the importance of rifle marksmanship throughout U.S. history. Since the M1 Garand was the standard rifle at the time of the film production, a "tour" of Springfield Armory includes discussions by John Garand as well as a production facility manufacturing overview. This is not the "Marksmanship" film that will teach you everything you need to know about shooting the M1 Garand. It is a well made Black & White film that gives an excellent overview of the Garand rifle, a historical perspective on marksmanship, and why Americans must maintain rifle marksmanship skills.
