The M1 Garand Owner's Guide

Buy it!

The M1 Garand Owner's Guide is everything I was expecting. I needed detailed instructions on disassembly to inspect, clean and lubricate two recently purchased M1's. This book was a big help to me. It has good explanations and illustrations showing what needs to be done. Good detailed instructions on how to sight in the M1. Also lots of information on the history of the M1. Another great book with even more detailed information is "Hatcher's Book Of the Garand" (about 279 pages of reading and detailed pictures compared to 122). I am glad to have both books and highly recommend them if you have or are considering getting an M1 or just like reading about them.

I like that this book is full of detailed information on the rifle. Scott Duff is a point of reference for these rifles. I use the book as a research tool to learn more about my own rifle.

This book will fill your need to know about the M1, providing interesting history and events about the gun as well as covering in great detail its construction, assembly/disassembly, tips and recommendations regarding use, storage, cleaning -- you name it, Mr. Duff has it covered. If you are a gunsmith, you probably should opt for the multi-volume , very expensive, alternative on the market. But most of us who own and use or just cherish the M1 this little gem does nicely.

Duff is one of THE master reference gurus on the M1 Garand. He had researched and knows the facts. His illustrations are good and his data is valid. If you own a Garand and want a good "owner's manual" this is your book. He does a very fine job of explaining and detailing disassembly, maintenance, lubrication, and reassembly. If you want or need more in depth info, look at Duff's other books or Hatcher's Book of the Garand.
