This is an incredible World War Two M1 Garand Rifle cutaway USGI classroom non-functional enlarged training model. Oversized measuring approximately 86\" in length and constructed of cast aluminum, this is a classroom demonstrator of the famous M1 Garand Semi-Automatic Rifle for educating soldiers during WW2 on the inner workings and operation of the rifle, including the bolt operation, feeding, ejection, etc. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThese rifles would actually \"function\" when bolt is cycled, demonstrating the bolt working, and had red paint to highlight areas where the stock has been cut away to show the internals. This example is in great display condition, made mostly from aluminum, and looks to be complete, though we were not able to get it to cycle correctly, probably due to some components being out of alignment. It also had joint in the wrist of the stock break at some point, and it was repaired with nails and screws.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA truly impressive display piece!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe M1 Garand or M1 rifle is a semi-automatic rifle that was the service rifle of the U.S. Army during World War II and the Korean War. The rifle is chambered for the .30-06 Springfield cartridge and is named after its Canadian-American designer, John Garand. It was the first standard-issue autoloading rifle for the United States. By most accounts, the M1 rifle performed well. General George S. Patton called it \"the greatest battle implement ever devised\". The M1 replaced the bolt-action M1903 Springfield as the U.S.' service rifle in 1936, and was itself replaced by the selective-fire M14 rifle on March 26, 1958.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Original Items","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42181934907461,"sku":"ONSV23PCS258","price":2895.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1524\/1342\/files\/ONSV23PCS258__01.jpg?v=1732565954","url":"https:\/\/www.ima-usa.com\/products\/original-u-s-wwii-m1-garand-semi-automatic-rifle-cutaway-oversized-7-foot-classroom-trainer-demonstrator-repaired-stock-joint","provider":"International Military Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
