My introduction to the M1 Garand was by a retired Gunny who coached a group of us noobs in the initial set up. Years later I actually purchased one, and needed to do this set up, but couldn't remember what it was. Oddly enough, NOBODY seemed to have any idea what it was. Thanks for the info.

Thank you so very much. I had no idea how to set up the sights on an M1 Garand. Now that I've seen this video I can set up the sights to 100 yards to align with the proper line on the elevation. I also use an M-10 tool to service M1 Garands. That tool just about fits everything except the front sight screw. Just wish they had incorporated an allen wrench of the proper size into the M-10. Now I should be able to hit center of a target at 100 yards.

Glad it helped. The front sight was not made to be moved by the user. Its a 3/16" FYI.

I have a suggestion for a future video: how about a complete examination of, and demonstration of the use of the cleaning kit, with use of the M10 tool, that fits in the butt compartment of an M1 Garand?

Great info! I just picked up a ‘44 Winchester that was refurbed ‘LEAD ‘66” and it appears to have a much later hooded rear aperture - I can purchase an original ‘44 Winchester rear peep - is this a worthy change? Thanks

There are cheaper than a National Match sight. It might be nice to have both. If you won't use the NM sell it and at worst you should break even.

Great video but I don't understand the nine clicks at the beginning. Why NINE clicks? Why not TEN, or ELEVEN? Just asking cause I got a little confused, shouldn't the original 100 yard setting be good enough for 100 yard? Why change it?
@norwich93CMP3 жыл бұрын
The video is to set the sights for first time shooting. When the aperture is all the way down it should be 9 clicks up to 100 yards. Not all elevation caps are set to 9 clicks. Not all shooter have the same sight alignment or sight picture. When are rifle is taken apart it is necessary to do this for the best chances of getting the rifle close to zero.

Hello, I have a T26 model and need to adjust my front sight but it's kinda old and the screw is really in there. 1. Is there a certain size or tool screw to get it out with ? 2. Should I let a lube soak on it before trying to get it out?

Why do you need to adjust a front sight? The rear sight should have enough windage to compensate.

Sounds like you need to take apart and see if it works outside of the receiver. If it does, and not in the receiver, that would be very strange and I would say something is hanging up somewhere.
