Garand CASM Beta?? Anyone

[Bird Blaster]

Looking on people's thoughts and impressions. Would love if someone had video of them loading/unloading the rifle.

CASM mount is awesome on the m14, but I am unsure on the garand.

It would have to mounted forward or to the port side of the receiver to allow the bloc clips to feed in.

Is it a D&T mount? Just curious.

It is the same as the M1a/m14 mounts. It goes directly in the sight-pocket of the receiver. You remove the rear sight for installation.

Its inline with the barrel. Website says you need a holbrook device or SLED to prevent the enblock clip ejecting and hitting it. Must be a pain to load the ammo, top feed them manually?

A pain? It's no different than literally every other rifle in existence.

Except the M1 is unlike almost every other rifle in existence....
How do you load the enbloc with the scope base over the top of the action?
What you will have are people single loading in the chamber in order to use these, and slam fires when they let the oprod fly home...

You totally did not even read the information did you?

Yeah I did, nobody is going to buy a sled/Holbrook, do you read threads on here? The average gunnut couldn't be trusted to build a Lego merry go round....lol.
I'm sure some people will enjoy it, I prefer the best iron sights ever put on a battle rifle and using enblocs. Neutering an M1 to single loading makes me throw up a little

The Holbrook is very easy to install with no tools required .
The en bloc stays in the rifle and you top load 1- 3 rounds one at a time into the en bloc which would be a huge pain the arse..
Another issue for me is that I have never cared for is the high scope height of the CASM mount on the M-14 or now the Garand .

The Holbrook is a device designed to separate you from your money. It's a modified op rod catch that supposedly eliminates the dreaded M1 Thumb. M1 Thumb is operator failure.
Slam fires are caused by improperly loaded ammo. Not the rifle.
There's no mention of loading or really anything about the M1 Rifle in all the documentation. Spelling mistakes, but nothing about the M1 at all. Personally, I see no need for a scope on an M1. It'd ruin that perfect balance with little return.

I got a M1 s&k scope mount for the Garand I built (offset like the military M1C and M1D sniper versions). I need the optics, my eyes are not that good. However I have not tried it, yet, hoping it will work out.
