Loading the M1 Garand problem


Almost a perfect video to explain it. Pity it doesn't show a right hand side view. Slide all four fingers down the right hand side of the stock (in front of the op-rod cocking handle) while pushing down with your thumb. When the En-block locks in place sweep your hand towards the front sight and up and the same time. Trying to up straight up or moving your hand out and away from the right side can cause the op-rod cocking handle to catch your hand. This will NOT hurt you, but it may cause the bolt to hang up on the first round. Should this happen, bump the op-rod cocking handle with the palm of your hand in a down and forward motion. Should you try a slapping up and forward motion, you can cause the op-rod to lift out of the receiver guide track and jam.
