The only book that tells the complete, in-depth story of the rarest Garands of them all: the initial 80 Model Shop rifles, and the first 50,000+ production "gas trap" M1s, made between August, 1937 & August, 1940. 383 illus; 316 pgs.
'The M1 Garand was arguably the most respected service rifle in U.S. history, and a veritable library of books has been written about it.
However, this is the only book that tells the complete, in-depth story of the rarest Garands of them all: the initial 80 Model Shop rifles, made under the personal supervision of John Garand himself in 1934 and 1935; and the first 50,000+ production "gas trap" M1s, made between August, 1937 and August, 1940.
There were only three men who knew all the intimate details of the highly classified M1 project: John Garand; his Chief Model Maker, J R "Red" Stimson; and Art Tuttle, John Garand's personal "Troubleshooter". The respected Garand authority Billy Pyle was fortunate enough to be befriended by the 0latter, and this groundbreaking study is the result.
