Original Item: Only One Available. 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. This example has some damage, including what looks like a repair in the stock, and is missing the trigger assembly entirely.

These rifles would actually “function” when the 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 fair display condition, made mostly from aluminum, and is not complete, as it’s missing the trigger assembly completely. It also appears to have had damage in the wrist of the stock at some point, and it was repaired with a wrap. It may also be missing a few joint pieces, and we couldn’t get it to cycle. The cocking handle is also loose, so this example certainly needs some work.

A truly impressive display piece!

The 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.
