Announcing the Newest Book from Walt & Clint

The M1 Garand Complete Assembly Guide

The key to maintaining and upgrading your Garand!

by Walt Kuleck with Clint McKee

Since the publication of Scott Duff’s The M1 Garand Owner’s Guide, readers have asked for a book that would help guide them through the assembly of their M1 Garand. Ideally, such a book would impart the tips, tricks, pitfalls and “gotchas!” that experienced Garand enthusiasts and armorers have discovered and developed over the years.

This is that book. It goes beyond the military manuals in depth and scope, using words and pictures to clearly guide the reader through every operation required to assemble their Garand. You’ll learn the best and easiest ways to build your rifle. It won’t make you a Garand armorer, but it will make you a more knowledgeable owner. You’ll be able to do more with (and to) your rifle. You’ll also be able to better judge the competence of those whom you choose to work on your rifle, and to discuss your needs more intelligently with them.

In short, if you build it, you’ll know how to repair it.

Also included are a discussion of the requirements for the John Garand Matches being held at Camp Perry and around the country, a tutorial on tuning your trigger to National Match standards, and what you need to build a Garand in .308 caliber.

The M1 Garand Complete Assembly Guide is a companion volume to The M1 Garand Owner’s Guide by Scott Duff. The Owner’s Guide gives you a look into the history and development of the Garand, as well as giving you everything you need to know to use and maintain your M1 Rifle. The Owner’s Guide goes far beyond the military manuals in both scope and depth. It’s a “must have” for every Garand owner!

Finally, the finest barrel ever made, and now in the original U.S.G.I. standard weight contour! 
Also available in .308 Winchester, which is not John Garand Match legal.
