Our USMC historic rifle for today is Springfield Armory M1 Garand #3606, one of the first 400 M1 Garands received by the Marine Corps in 1939. After testing and evaluation, these rifles were fielded by 1/6 and 1/5. No longer in its Gas Trap configuration, this rifle was last rebuilt in the mid 1960s, serving our nation for over 25 years.

Straight out of one of the most unfortunately forgotten and understudied conflicts in military history: a Boer contract Model 1893/95 Ma**er.

The Second Boer War was brutal, and the insurgency/counterinsurgency lessons learned can still be applied today. The Boers were incredible riflemen, and their feats with the world-class 7mm Ma**er played no small role in the birth of modern formations and tactics.

This no-prefix DWM rifle was one of 10,000 shipped to the Transvaal ZAR in 1897. As seen by the BNP markings, it was captured by the British.

Much of the M1893/95’s design would be copied, in particular by the United States in the Springfield M1903. The point to which the M1903 would borrow from Ma**er designs would lead to a lawsuit, with royalties being paid until World War I.

When you have an original M1903A1 Unertl Sniper Rifle, you shoot it in the National Matches at Camp Perry!

For those interested in the story of these rifles and others like it that the Marine Corps has employed, be sure to check out www.USMCweaponry.com. I’ll be adding new content over the next few weeks with the down time this quarantine brings.

An interesting Marine Corps documented M1 Garand.

In 1964, Marine infantrymen would go to boot camp, learn to shoot, and qualify with an M14. Upon arrival to the School of Infantry’s Infantry Training Regiments, they would be issued M1 Garands as a tremendous surplus of .30-06 ammunition existed.

This particular rifle belonged to Camp Lejeune’s 1st Infantry Training Regiment, and was overhauled by 2nd Force Service Regiment’s Ordnance Maintenance Company in December of 1964. From the looks of it, this rifle received a new barrel, and was put away as stock. The barrel on this rifle is incredibly crisp, while the rest shows the wear one would expect from years of new Marine grunts carrying it as they learned basic infantry skills.

In 1965, the Marines would begin phasing out the M1 Garand from the Infantry Training Regiments, and kicked off a massive overhaul program that can be evidenced by “O-6x” electropencil markings on Garand receivers. While O-6x Garands are easy to definitively identify as Marine Corps, those that predated them such as this rifle are exceedingly rare. This rifle’s past of being used to train Marine trigger pullers on their way to Vietnam definitely enriches its history.
