PALADIN PRESS "COMPLETE
M1 GARAND: A
Guide for the Shooter and Collector"
by
Jim Thompson
|
|
Publisher's Description -
"A
heavily illustrated, practical history for shooters and
collectors alike, this book tells the complete story of the
robust M1 Garand. High-quality, detailed photos; functional
and troubleshooting data, including original military manuals;
market information and much more make this a valuable resource
on a classic battle rifle."
|
|
Excellent Overview of the Garand with lots and lots of pictures. Covers
everything from troubleshooting problems to disassembly and reassembly of the
rifle. My primary appreciation of this book is the reloading data. Loading
30.06 cartridges for a bolt action rifle is one thing - loading for a fifty
year old semi-auto is something all together different. The data covers
both 30.06 and .308 load information.
The following taken from a chapter title, "The Garand:
Illustrated and Explained", would be an accurate description of this
publication.
This book can be purchased for $25 @ the
Paladin Press website.
