2021年12月8日 · Without the optics, cheek rest, and flash hider installed, the only giveaway from a distance that a Garand is an M1D is the tell-tale mount installed on the barrel. The barrel-mounted optics base...

2021年3月2日 · The M1D project also resulted in the development of improved telescopic sights, culminating in the standardization of the 2.2X M84 scope, equipped with sealed optics, protective metal covers on the elevation/windage adjustment knobs, and a sliding light shade. The M1D’s scope could also be mounted without removing the rifle’s iron sights.

2020年3月31日 · The semi-automatic M1 Garand was adopted as the standard issue battle rifle for the US Armed Forces in 1932 and finally started to enter service in 1936, which then led to constant refinement of the rifle.

The M1D design was invented and patented by John C. Garand and was intended to allow conversion from service rifle to sniper rifle at the support maintenance level. Most M1D rifles were equipped with the M84 telescope and 7/8″ diameter mount.

2012年12月5日 · They are called the M1C and the M1D, and as guns go, they are very different from each other. Both models are much more expensive than the other rifles available from the Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP), and for the collector and military enthusiast they are far more exciting than run of the mill Garands.

Another sniping version of the M1 was the M1D, which used a different mount designed by John Garand. The mount fit directly onto a Garand barrel rather than on the rifle’s receiver. The scope was the M84 2.2X, which was produced by Libby-Owens-Ford and Leupold & Stevens.

Early on, soldiers were primarily issued M1D rifles along with a few M1903A4 rifles, both in .30-­’06 Springfield. The USMC initially armed their snipers with M1D rifles, but realized a better rifle system was needed.

2017年12月11日 · “The M1D illustrates how far modern precision shooting has come in the past 50 years since the old warhorse was retired.” For maximum accuracy, both M1C and M1D Garand rifles used fixed-power riflescopes offset to the left side of their receivers.

2016年9月22日 · The M1D was the final adopted form of John Garands sniper M1 rifle, originally the M1E8. It was intended to be a kit issued in the field to add optical sights to any rifle deemed worthy, and retained that capability in a slightly different form than originally intended.

The M1 / M1D was a Garand made into a Sniper Rifle. And while it filled the role as a DMR more it still did well at it's job. The M1D never saw action in WW2 or Korea and mostly saw limited...
