Gotta love the Americans - the M1 Garand was first really succesfull big calibre semi auto of WW2 and the M1 Carbine was a scalled down simpler version firing a suprisingly potent round (the idea was it was light, accurate with reasonable range for officers and tankers to use more effectivly than a pistol). Both are classic WW2 pieces of kit, just check out the ones below: Wow, did we grab a batch of these when they came up - the much misunderstood American M1 carbine, serving with the US forces from `42 onwards when they realised the need for something small and light for officers and tankers - but better than a pistol - they came up with the M1 Carbine - surprisingly light and simple, they had plenty of stopping power from the .30 pistol cartridge, just not much after 100 yards or so - hence the reputation - still loads better than banging away with a pistol! These new-spec deactivated M1 carbines do not cock but have fully moving bolts and triggers, mag ejects and the gun strips - kinda got a lot of these so they`re out on special!!!

Just love this Garand - a WW2 relic dug up in Northern France, complete breach/barrel and top bolt, gas tube and lower section rotted away but thats all covered by the re-fitted woodwork so it looks almost complete (no trigger housing assembly, though maybe a repro set would fit?). No need to deactivate as its section 58 antique/curio 'deactivated by other means').

Here`s a great example of what an experienced re-enactor can do with a replica M1 Carbine. This all metal/wood replica cocks and dry fires but has been really well aged with a nice deep tone to woodwork and some gentle distressing to the metalwork - nothing over the top, to be honest, its pretty much impossible to tell the difference with this one and threal thing from close up yet alone a few metres away!.

Same as the above replica M1 Carbine but its the neat folding stock paratrooper version. Woodwork and metalwork has been nicely aged and really looks the part - cocks and dry fires as well. A real deal deactivated M1 Carine Para thats deactivated will set you back over £2k, so this ones a steal....

Alas there are just no deactivated Garands around at the moment, but we did pick up this rather good replica - all metal replica Garand which has been aged plus very good aged woodwork has been fitted, close as we can get to the real thing at the moment and it cocks and dry fires as well plus comes with a correct leather sling.

Cool, very few deactivated M1 Garands to be had at the moment and we loved it when this excellent example arrived complete with bayonet, scabbard, leather sling, inerts and whats that in the butt - only the mega rare cleaning kit - awesome! Its a postwarlate `40`s Springfield made Garand, all original, moving charging handle under spring pressure and comes with correct deactivation certificate.
