Gentlemen,
Studying the M1 Garand for over 30 years I have to wonder about something and that something is REDUNDANCY. Do you think that the M1 Garand was designed with any redundancy in mind---e.g. Could the M1 Garand fire function with a broken op-rod spring ?? We have seen guys showing pic's of receiving M1 Garands with broken op-rods that still passed the 1 clip test before shipping out. If so can any of you think of parts in the M1 Garand that could keep the Garand firing even if just like a bolt action ?? Think about it and let see what some of you can come up with. I know that if I don't post a pic most guys will let this just go by. I hope that some of you jump in.
I could use some input on this question guys because I think it is important.
Some data has been posted before others have not.
Gentlemen you know what to do.
Thanks again
