223 Wylde 16" Mid-Length AR-15

When it comes to rifles, there is no denying that the AR-15 has become one of the most popular weapons in the United States. From its use by the military and law enforcement, to its popularity amongst hunters, marksmen, and recreational shooters, the AR-15 is the perfect rifle for any situation. With so many different models and manufacturers out there, it can be difficult to decide which one to get. That is why I am glad that I can write this review of one of the very best AR-15s on the market today, the Bravo Company Manufacturing BCM4 223 Wylde 16” Mid-Length AR-15.

I first encountered the BCM4 at a gun show and was instantly impressed by its quality and overall look. As soon as I held it in my hands I knew that it was something special. The mid-length gas system gives the BCM4 a much smoother and softer recoil than other AR-15s I have used in the past. Thanks to the increased barrel length, the gun also has better accuracy and less muzzle rise than shorter AR-15s.

The BCM4’s impressive build quality is also something that stands out when you hold it in your hands. It has a forged aircraft-grade aluminum upper and lower receiver that is extremely durable and strong. The integrated trigger guard is also reassuring and allows the gun to be fired from different positions with ease.

The BCM4 also comes equipped with top-tier components that will ensure reliable and consistent performance. The barrel is made of chrome moly lined nitrogen gas-filled steel and is capable of shooting .223 Wylde rounds. It is 16 inches in length, so it is shorter than a typical AR-15 and is ideal for close-quarters combat situations. The gun also comes fitted with BCM’s M4-style military trigger, which has a crisp and clean break.

As if all of this wasn’t enough, the BCM4 also comes with all the bells and whistles you’d expect from a top-tier AR-15. The gun is equipped with a Picatinny rail on the upper receiver for mounting accessories such as scopes and red dot sights. The BCM4 also has front and rear sling attachment points, a BCM Mod 3 Pistol Grip for a more secure and comfortable hold, and a BCM charging handle for easier and faster reloading. The gun also comes with a 20-round magazine, which is perfect for target shooting or home defense.

I spent some time shooting the BCM4 and it quickly became one of my favorite AR-15s. The recoil and muzzle rise was much less than I was expecting, making it easy to get back on target quickly. The accuracy and handling were also top-notch. The BCM4 felt well-balanced in my hands, and the trigger was smooth and comfortable to use. I felt confident when firing the gun, and I was easily hitting targets from 25 yards out.

Overall, the BCM4 223 Wylde is one of the best AR-15s on the market today. Its mid-length gas system and high-quality construction allow for smooth and reliable performance with each shot. I would highly recommend this rifle to anyone who is in the market for an AR-15, whether they are a beginner or an experienced shooter. The BCM4 is a top-notch rifle, and I am proud to add it to my collection.

BCM4's are widely recommended for long-range precision shooting, and their tight tolerances promote consistent performance and accuracy up to 800 yards. Furthermore, the BCM4 is designed with a light, but stable gas system, which helps to reduce felt recoil and allow shooters to achieve greater accuracy with lighter-profile cartridges.

The VSKA is made with Romanian parts and has a unique design that includes a ribbed handguard, classic AKM front sight, and an enhanced trigger.

The gun is also very forgiving of ammo and I have had no issues with different types of ammo, both steel and brass. The trigger is also very smooth and breaks very cleanly with no creep, which helps with accuracy.

Esteemed firearms enthusiasts are no stranger to the Sako 85. Manufactured in Riihimäki, Finland for over twenty-five years the Sako 85 has been one of the best-selling Series of high-end rifles in Europe. It’s not hard to understand why. The Sako 85 is a precision rifle, built for accuracy and designed for longevity. The Sako 85, also known as the Finnlight in many markets, is a popular choice among hunters, target shooters, and police/military forces.

The Sako 85 has been redesigned over the years and is now offered in a variety of calibres, based on the size of the action. For this review, we’ll take a look at the Sako 85 S.

The Sako 85 S is a short action rifle that was designed as a compact hunting rifle for use in thick brush. It features a stainless steel receiver, with an integral recoil lug. The stock is made from Makassar ebony, and is fitted with a rubber butt-pad for comfort. The trigger is adjustable from 2.2 to 4 lbs, and the barrel is chrome-moly steel, with a twist rate of 1:8 for optimal accuracy and lead-free performance. 

The Sako 85 S uses the same robust three-lug bolt as its larger siblings – the Finnfire and Finnfire II. The Sako 85 S has a slightly shorter magazine than the Finnfire, but it still fits up to three rounds of .223 Remington. Out of the box, the Sako 85 S includes an attached scope mount and mounts for a bipod. The scope mount is positioned in the perfect spot, allowing the user to easily and quickly mount a scope without any sort of awkward adjustment. 

The Sako 85 S is designed to handle almost any kind of hunting condition, as it excels in multiple types of terrain. It’s also chambered in a range of calibres, from .223 Remington to 7mm Remington Magnum. This wide range of calibres makes the Sako 85 S the perfect fit for almost any type of hunting situation.

The Sako 85 S has also undergone extensive testing by Finnish Army forces, where it was found to be extremely reliable and accurate, even under extreme conditions. This is largely due to the quality of the components, and the philosophy of design that Sako employs. All Sako 85 models utilise a three-lugged bolt pattern, which provides maximum strength and reliability with a minimum of parts. The Sako cold hammer-forged barrel is cold-steel treated for wear and corrosion resistance, and is pressed into the receiver with an exacting fit. 

The Sako 85 S is available with either an adjustable or fixed trigger – we highly recommend that you go for the adjustable version, as the user can easily make adjustments to the trigger weight to suit their personal preference. The stock of the Sako 85 S is very comfortable to hold and shoot, even if you’re in the middle of thick brush or in steep, rugged terrain. The checkering pattern along the fore-end and the textured grip areas makes the Sako 85 S easy to control, even for inexperienced shooters. 

When it comes to accuracy, the Sako 85 S is no slouch. The accuracy of the Sako 85 S has been consistently proven in tests and comparisons across multiple different calibres. A 3-shot group of 1/2 MOA at 100 yards is an achievable accomplishment with the Sako 85 S. This level of accuracy is only possible when precision craftsmanship and quality materials are used, and only Sako provides that.

In conclusion, the Sako 85 S is an excellent rifle for those looking for a precision-built, accurate rifle, as well as one that is reliable and highly portable. The Sako 85 S is available in a variety of calibres, allowing users to easily choose one that best suits their needs. With its robust design, performance-driven anatomy, and accuracy in mind, the Sako 85 S proves to be the rifle of choice for those who demand the best in fineness.

When it comes to exceptional firearms, the FN PS90 stands out among the rest. With its ergonomic design, plethora of features, and aesthetic appeal, it has earned a dedicated fan base of shooters and collectors alike.

First and foremost, the design of the FN PS90 is unique and groundbreaking. From the top of the receiver to the stock, and everything in-between, the firearm is incredibly comfortable and lightweight. It features an injection-molded polymer frame, which houses the top-mounted, non-reciprocating charging handle, and overall angular contours that are modern and futuristic. This design help create an efficient center of balance, making it easy to handle and enjoyable to shoot.

Another unique feature of the FN PS90 is its bullpup configuration. Unlike most rifles, the barrel is placed close to the face of the shooter, allowing for the rifle to maintain a short overall length — making it ideal for close-quarters shooting, or home/self-defense. Other beneficial characteristics of a bullpup design include reduced felt recoil and quick target acquisition. Not only that, but the FN PS90 also features a top-mounted ambidextrous magazine ejection port and an integrated safety/fire selector switch on the side of the trigger guard, which allows for intuitive operation.

Speaking of magazines, the FN PS90’s magazines are incredibly well-made and efficient. Constructed out of robust polymer, the 50-round capacity magazine loads easily and securely, and the specially-designed followers ensure a consistent feeding. This design allows for users to easily transition from target shooting to tactical scenarios quickly and efficiently. Additionally, the magazines are compatible with other firearms within the FN line-up, making it easy to transition from one platform to another. 

Now, when it comes to accuracy, the FN PS90 delivers time and time again. The hammer-forged chrome-lined barrel ensures precision while also providing superior corrosion resistance and long-term reliability. With its free-floating design, this rifle produces little to no movement while shooting, which helps maintain accuracy even when the action gets hot and heavy. Additionally, this rifle is chambered in the 5.7x28mm cartridge, which produces less felt recoil than the traditional 5.56mm round, and delivers a flatter trajectory—making it ideal for short to medium range engagements.

Finally, one would be remiss not to mention the FN PS90’s aesthetic appeal. This rifle features a sleek black finish, coupled with the integrated sight rail and angular design, helps separate it from the pack and creates a look that is both futuristic and timeless.

Overall, the FN PS90 is a well-rounded rifle that is perfect for target shooting, home- or self-defense, and tactical uses. Its excellent ergonomic design, bullpup configuration, and advanced features make it one of the most popular firearms of its type—and for good reason. If you’re in the market for a reliable, accurate, and aesthetically-pleasing rifle, then the FN PS90 is definitely worth considering.

1. Compact size and lightweight design make it easy to handle and transport.

2. Highly accurate and reliable thanks to its short-stroke piston design.

4. Can fire either regular 5.7×28mm FN round or low-recoil SS197SR FN round.

7. Equipped with integrated trigger guard and adjustable 3-point sling.

8. Includes top and side Picatinny rail for mounting optics.

9. Has a top ejection system so it won’t interfere with peripheral vision.

1. Does not have a last-round bolt hold-open feature.

3. Unergonomic two-position charging handle.

4. Expensive ammunition.

5. No available external safety lever.

6. Limited aftermarket accessories and replacement parts.

Anyone who is interested in a versatile, lightweight semi-automatic rifle should consider the FN PS90. This gun is ideal for home defense, pest control, and other uses.

The FN P90 is one of the most accurate weapons ever made. It is a selective fire personal defense weapon that can fire a 5.7×28mm round at a rate of fire of 900 rounds per minute. When fired from the shoulder, the P90 is accurate at short to long range distances, even beyond 200 meters. The P90's accuracy is due to features like its cold hammer-forged barrel with an ultra-smooth bore, its ability to fire multiple rounds with no adjustment to the sight picture, and its low profile and balanced design. The P90's accuracy can be further enhanced with its bolt forward, open-bolt firing system. This system eliminates the possibility of the gun “short-stroking”, which can lead to inaccuracy. It also eliminates the need for manual cycling of the bolt, which reduces accuracy at the end of the barrel, thus providing greater overall accuracy. This design also allows for a smaller profile than a submachine gun; making it ideal for close quarter combat.

In the world of rifles, Winchester is one of the most recognizable and reliable producers, with its Model 70 Extreme Weather SS rifle being one of the premier options for anyone looking to invest in a firearm. This review is going to cover the features, capabilities, accuracy, and personal experience involving this rifle to give insight to a potential buyer.

The Winchester model 70 Extreme Weather SS is a bolt-action rifle that comes in four different calibers: .270 Winchester, .30-06 Springfield, .243 Winchester, and .308 Winchester. This rifle is constructed from a solid steel barreled action that is bedded with a Pachmayr Decelerator recoil pad to reduce the felt recoil, and the barreled action also has a heavy-duty stainless steel recoil lug for extra strength and durability. The stock is made from a durable and weather-resistant composite material that is designed to be waterproof and is equipped with a Pachmayr Decelerator .22 inch thick recoil pad for extra cushioning.

The rifle features a two-stage trigger system that is adjustable between 2.5 to 5 pounds of pull weight. This trigger system is designed to give shooters an optimal balance of accuracy and performance, as well as a crisp, clean trigger break. The rifle also features adjustable-height iron sights, making it possible to line up precise shots and maintain accuracy even at long range.

When it comes to accuracy, this rifle is an absolute gem. It was designed to be a very affordable and reliable rifle capable of consistently delivering sub-MOA accuracy. I personally tested the .270 Winchester variant and was able to get groups of 0.67 inches at 100 yards, which is impressive for a rifle of this price range. The rifle seemed to be very consistent across all of the groups and I never experienced any eccentricities or issues with the rifle during my shooting session.

The recoil of the rifle was also manageable, thanks to the Pachmayr Decelerator recoil pad. Although there is always going to be some kick when shooting a rifle, the recoil of this rifle was nothing compared to some of the heavier recoiling rifles I have fired in the past. I found the recoil to be very mild and it made shooting this rifle a breeze, even with extended sessions at the range.

Reliability and durability is another key factor to consider when purchasing a rifle, and the Extreme Weather SS is certainly no exception. The stainless steel parts of the rifle are designed to be highly corrosion-resistant, allowing it to withstand any harsh weather conditions and still remain accurate and reliable. I have had this rifle in my possession for a couple of months now, and it has yet to malfunction in any way, even after some intense days at the range.

When it comes to overall features and capabilities, this rifle certainly has more than enough to impress any shooter. From its adjustable sites and trigger to its level of accuracy and reliability, the Winchester Model 70 Extreme Weather SS is a very impressive rifle. It is a great option for hunting as well as recreational shooting and is sure to be an excellent choice for anyone looking to invest in a quality firearm.

Pros

• Highly durable stainless steel build which provides superior corrosion protection
• Robust design with an aircraft-grade aluminum bedding block for improved accuracy
• Pre-installed Pachmayr decelerator recoil pad for reduced felt recoil

• Lightweight construction which makes it suitable for hunting in adverse weather conditions

Cons
• Pricey compared to other models in its class

This rifle is designed for people who need a reliable hunting rifle in extreme weather conditions. It is a great gun for those who hunt in areas with conditions that are too harsh for standard rifles and need durability, strength, and accuracy. It is also well suited for varmint hunters and competition shooters.

This rifle should not be purchased by people who are looking for a general purpose rifle. It is designed for extreme weather conditions and is expensive compared to standard off-the-shelf rifles. Therefore, it may be an unnecessary expense for those who are just looking for a general purpose rifle.

Palmetto State Armory is quickly becoming one of the most respected firearm companies in the industry today. By collaborating with some of the most talented gunsmiths and engineers in the industry, Palmetto State Armory has been able to create one of the most affordable and reliable rifles available. The Palmetto State Armory PAK-47 is no exception.

The PAK-47 is a Maryland compliant version of the classic Kalashnikov AK-47. It’s made from surplus parts from Romania, Bulgaria, and Russia, and is loaded with features. The rifle itself is constructed from a heavy-duty, black nitride finish 4140 chrome-moly-vanadium barrel, and is fitted with an American-made hammer-forged, chrome-lined barrel, which ensures dependable performance. It also uses a classic slant brake for recoil reduction and a stamped steel receiver for maximum durability. The PAK-47 also includes a mil-spec front sight block, rear sight leaf, and gas block.

The trigger is one of the highlights of the PAK-47, as it is a mil-spec two-stage trigger. This trigger provides precision and accuracy with minimal take-up. During testing, the trigger felt smooth and allowed for easy target transitions when shooting rapidly at multiple targets.

The rifle comes with one 30-round magazine to get you started, and it takes any AK-compatible magazines to turn the PAK-47 into a formidable weapon. While the barrel and chamber are chrome-lined, the rest of the rifle is left parkerized for a rugged, durable finish.

When shooting the PAK-47, it was surprisingly accurate and reliable. It would fire and cycle perfectly every time, even with inexpensive surplus ammunition. The recoil was manageable, which made shooting this rifle enjoyable. I also found that it was easy to make distance shots with the PAK-47. The rifle handled well, and it was comfortable to shoot for long durations of time. The mag change was also nice, and the rifle didn’t have any malfunctions.

Overall, I highly recommend the PAK-47 rifle. It is an affordable and reliable rifle that is reliable and accurate, it’s made from quality parts, and it performs well. It is an ideal choice for someone who is looking for an AK-style rifle that is made from quality parts and is Maryland compliant.

BERGARA B-14 HMR: A Rifle That Packs a Punch 

When I first heard the name BERGARA B-14 HMR, I was instantly intrigued. This was because, in my opinion, BERGARA has always been associated with top-of-the-line rifles that offer the utmost accuracy and power. The B-14 HMR offered similar qualities that I had become accustomed to with Bergara’s other rifles so I couldn’t help but be even more excited when it came time to put it through its paces. 

Upon receiving the rifle, I keenly began examining it from all angles, hoping to glean some sort of information about this much talked-about gun. I quickly found that the rifle had a hardwood stock made with Walnut and coated in a fine weatherproofed finish. This gives the rifle a strong yet light casing, something that most Bergara rifles boast. The gun is also highly ergonomically designed, which gives the user a strong sense of comfort while using the B-14 without compromising accuracy.

Once I’d had a good look at the exterior, I was eager to see what made the B-14 HMR truly special. So, I began taking apart the rifle and what I found impressed me. Inside the stock, I discovered a Bergara PREMIER action which is touted as being one of the smoothest actions around. It was also equipped with a 3-position safety switch, bolt release lever, and oversized tang safety thumb piece for reliable performance that won’t let you down. 

But the B-14 HMR’s action wasn’t the only thing that impressed me. During my research, I found that this rifle also boasted an AR-style bolt head which was made out of stainless steel and coated in black oxide for added durability. This was great news for me since it meant the B-14 HMR was designed to withstand the elements and ensure a consistent level of performance. 

When it came to the actual shooting part, I was equally pleased. The B-14 HMR proved to be a reliable and accurate rifle that was easy to maneuver and handle even in tight quarters. It had a crisp, clean break with never any need for adjustment and the trigger itself was consistent, allowing for accurate shots. Its 22” barrel length makes it ideal for long-range shooting and its one-piece Picatinny scope rail allows for the quick attachment of all types of scopes for greater range precision.

Introduction
The Norinco SKS is one of the most iconic rifles of the 20th century. Originally designed in 1945, the Russian designed Semi-Automatic carbine has been used by over 90 different countries across the world. Potentially due to its genuine historical use and popularity, the Norinco SKS has seen a recent resurgence in popularity amongst gun collectors and sport shooters. Overall the Norinco SKS is not only a very reliable rifle, but when compared to its competition, it also provides great value. 

History

The original Norinco SKS was designed in 1945 by Sergei Gavrilov and military engineer Simonov. Its development was the end result of state of the art engineering and materials of the time, combined with the Russian perspective that a rifle should be relatively simple to maintain and to operate.

The design of the Norinco SKS was based on the successful operation of earlier Russian designs, with some modifications to reduce production cost and improve manufacturing time. The SKS-45 displaced the short Mosin-Nagant carbine as the primary service rifle of the Russian Army and remained in production until the late 1950s.

Commonly referred to as the ‘Carbine of Nations,’ it is estimated that over 90 countries around the world adopted some version of the SKS rifle into their military forces over the years. Soviet Union military equipment was commonly exported to other Eastern bloc countries during the Cold War, but the SKS was also being adopted by Arab, African, and South American countries as well.

Design and Specifications

The Norinco SKS is a fairly lightweight semi-automatic carbine rifle and typically weighs between 7-8 lbs. The SKS is designed with a gas operating system and fires 7.62x39mm. This is an intermediate power ammunition which is also used in the AK-47. The Norinco SKS also has a beneficial 10 round fixed box magazine, which prevents the need for reloads in a pinch.

The Norinco SKS has a 20” barrel length with a 1 in 9.45” twist rate. This makes it more accurate than a standard AK-47 by providing a better spin when trying to shoot at longer ranges. The rifle is rather long with an overall length of 40.2” and a height of 4”.

The Norinco SKS has a conventional wood furniture including a fixed wooden stock. The rifle also features adjustable iron sights that are accurate up to around 400 yards. In addition to being unique to this firearm, the sights also have a rather striking look.

The good

Reliability

The Norinco SKS has an excellent reputation among gun owners for its unparalleled reliability and longevity. Many people will attest to the fact that they can leave the SKS out in the rain or snow and it will still fire perfectly. In fact, the rifle is so reliable that some owners utilize it as their primary hunting rifle, sighting in their groups at 100 yards. 

The SKS has been around for nearly 75 years and the original design has not changed much, which speaks to its incredible ability in standing up to any conditions that the user might be facing. The gas operating system of the SKS is extremely efficient and there are barely any issues with jams.

Price

The Norinco SKS is a great rifle to get if you are looking to buy something affordable yet reliable. The rifle has been around for a long time and its technology is outdated, so it is relatively easy to find an SKS for under $200. 

Given modern materials, this is an incredible deal when compared to other semi-automatic carbine rifles on the market. Many people find that the value for money is unbeatable and they love being able to get a reliable rifle for an incredibly low price.

Accuracy

The Norinco SKS has an incredibly accurate fixed-position iron sights system. With the adjustable rear sight and post front sight, the Norinco SKS is able to achieve accuracy up to 400 yards.

Like other rifles with iron sights, the Norinco SKS is best utilized at close to medium range shots due to a lack of magnification. However, the accuracy of the SKS is generally better than other weapons it its class given its adjustable-position and post-type sights. This also allows the shooter to make quick target acquisition and to land precise shots with little effort.

Ease of Use

The Norinco SKS is a notoriously simple rifle to operate. It uses a gas-operated action and loading is a breeze with its powerful 10-round fixed box magazine. The stock is fixed in position, so the length of pull is also unambiguous. 

Recoil is a non-issue with the Norinco SKS since it is essentially a lightweight semi-automatic carbine that makes even the most aggressive shooter feel comfortable. The SKS is also known for being an incredibly easy gun to maintain since there are only a few moving parts and a lack of complexity across most models.

The Bad

Ammunition

The biggest disadvantage of the Norinco SKS is its choice of ammunition. The rifle is chambered in 7.62x39mm, which is a caliber that is not as readily available in most stores as the more common .223 or .308. This makes it difficult to find affordable rounds of ammunition, especially when you factor in the costs associated with purchasing a reloading kit.

In addition, 7.62x39mm is not typically available in premium calibers and is often considered to be a low-cost ammunition with a lack of power. This makes it more difficult to land accurate shots on larger game at longer distances due to a possible lack of conversion energy.

Scope Mounting

The Norinco SKS is an iron sighted gun, with the sights designed to get a shooter on target quickly up to a distance of 400 yards. While the iron sights can be fine tuned for precision shooting, the majority of gun enthusiasts would prefer the ability to mount a scope, granting them more magnification and accuracy. 

Unfortunately, due to its design, it is not possible to mount a scope on the Norinco SKS. The lack of a Picatinny rail or other scope mounting devices makes it difficult to upgrade the rifle. This means that if you are looking to hunt with the Norinco SKS beyond 400-500 yards, optical options will be limited.

Conclusion

The Norinco SKS is an incredibly reliable rifle that is both easy to use and affordable. It has been around since 1945 and its gas operating system ensures smooth operation in any conditions. Its iron sights are incredibly accurate up to 400 yards and its 10 round fixed box magazine reduces reloading time between shots. 

It is also an incredibly affordable rifle, with many models available for under $200. The only downside is that ammunition for the SKS is not as readily available as .223 or .308, and it can be difficult to find premium ammunition for it. In addition, there is no scope mounting capability, so if you are looking to hunt at long distances, you may

Pros:

-Reliable design – the simple design makes the NORINCO SKS a reliable choice for shooting and easy to maintain.

-Inexpensive – the NORINCO SKS is a cost-effective option for those looking for a budget firearm.

-High capacity – with a detachable magazine, the NORINCO SKS can hold up to 10 rounds of 7.62×39mm making it a great choice for hunting and home defense.

-Versatility – the NORINCO SKS can also fire a variety of ammunition including the .223 Remington, 5.45×39mm, and .30-06 Standard.

Cons:

-Limited features – the NORINCO SKS has limited features and no Picatinny rails for mounting accessories.

-Outdated - the SKS was designed in 1945 and is showing its age, with certain parts becoming harder and harder to find.

-Heavy – the NORINCO SKS is a heavier firearm compared to more modern rifles due to its full-length wood stock.

Anyone who is legally able to purchase a rifle should be able to purchase a NORINCO SKS. However, it is important to research the laws in one's local area. As this is a semi-automatic rifle, there are some areas in which it may be illegal to purchase one. In addition, some people may choose to not purchase a NORINCO SKS in consideration of its country of origin (China). Additionally, because most of them have not been updated to comply with US federal regulations enacted after 1968, anyone who is looking for a rifle to compete in organized competitions should not select a NORINCO SKS.

The NORINCO SKS is an inexpensive rifle that is known for its ruggedness and reliability, and it is a popular choice for hunting, shooting sports, and home defense. When it comes to accuracy, the SKS is known for its decent accuracy, especially in shorter range engagements. With a sight radius of around 18 inches, the SKS performs well at distances up to and including 300 yards, which makes it suitable for hunting and target shooting. However, its accuracy drops off at longer ranges, and most shooters suggest that the maximum effective range of the SKS is limited to 400 yards. The SKS is also not known for its precision, and groups of 2-3 inches at 100 yards can be expected with most factory loads. While its accuracy isn't stellar, it is more than sufficient for most practical shooting applications.

NORINCO SKS

The International Harvester M1 Garand is a .30 caliber semi-automatic rifle designed in the United States for use in World War II (1939 - 1945). Designed by Canadian-born John C. Garand, who began work on the design in 1924, it was the first semi-automatic rifle to be widely adopted by any military force. It is by far the most iconic and recognizable weapon of WW2 and is sometimes referred to as “the rifle that won the war.”

Before we get into the review itself, it’s important to look at the context that made the International Harvester M1 Garand so important and effective. In the 1920s and 1930s, a new breed of military infantry weapons were emerging, known as “semi-automatic” firearms. These weapons allowed a soldier to fire multiple rounds without having to manually cock the firearm, making them an obvious choice for military use. However, most of the existing semi-automatic firearms of this era were painstakingly slow to reload and the lack of a magazine meant that only a few shots could be fired before having to reload. Enter the International Harvester M1 Garand.

Manufactured by International Harvester (later known as IHC), the M1 Garand addressed both of these issues while also making practical use of the then-new .30-06 Springfield cartridge, which had already been in use by the U.S. military since 1906 but had yet to see major combat action. With its high-capacity 8-round en-bloc clip (a US invention patented in 1901), high-velocity cartridge, and controllable recoil, the M1 Garand made a huge splash in the military world.

Now, let’s take a closer look at the International Harvester M1 Garand. First, let’s start with its design. The M1 Garand’s distinctive appearance is instantly recognizable, even today. Its long, sleek barrel sits atop a full-length wooden stock with several metal parts protruding from it. It has an 8-round en-bloc clip fed from the top of the action and a unique “gas-operated” system with a long stroke piston. This long stroke piston, along with the operating rod, meant that the M1 Garand did not require as much cleaning as some other rifles, making it a particularly reliable gun during battle.

In terms of performance, the International Harvester M1 Garand stands as one of the most iconic US firearms of WW2. Its .30-06 Springfield cartridge gave it phenomenal stopping power and a range of up to 3000 yards, while its gas-operated action allowed it to fire off 8 rounds in rapid succession with little recoil and no manual cocking. Its 8 round clip also meant that a soldier could fire off a full clip before having to reload, making it a much more effective weapon than earlier models. It also featured a “sniper” model, which allowed for even greater accuracy at longer ranges.

Finally, let’s take a look at the legacy of the International Harvester M1 Garand. Simply put, the M1 was a hugely successful firearm. It served in conflicts around the world, from WW2 to Korea and Vietnam. It has also been used by many police and national guard forces over the years, and its design influenced many later semi-automatic rifle designs. Today, the M1 Garand is very popular amongst collectors and shooting enthusiasts, with many collectors willing to pay thousands of dollars for a pristine example.

In conclusion, the International Harvester M1 Garand stands as an iconic US firearm of WW2. Its reliable and efficient design saw it serve in conflicts around the world and its performance was second to none. Its 8 round clip system, high-velocity cartridge, and gas-operated action made it an incredibly effective weapon that revolutionized military combat. From its design to its legacy, the M1 Garand is an important part of firearms history that deserves its place alongside the other legendary weapons of WW2.

Pros: 
-Highly reliable semi-automatic military rifle
-Very popular with war veterans and militaria collectors
-Accurate at long range
-Manual safety
-High capacity for a rifle in its class
-Powerful 30-06 cartridge
-An iconic American piece of history

Cons:
-Heavy and bulky design
-No provision for mounting optics
-Expensive and hard to find ammunition
-Often too expensive for the average gunowner

Anyone who has an interest in military history, or who simply enjoys shooting as a hobby, may want to consider purchasing an International Harvester M1 Garand. As with any firearm purchase, the buyer must be of the legal age and have the proper licensing to buy and own an M1 Garand.

Those who do not have an interest in firearms, or who are not legally eligible to purchase an M1 Garand, should not buy the rifle.

The accuracy of the International Harvester M1 Garand is considered very good for a service rifle. The design and construction of the rifle ensures that the shooter can be highly accurate with proper training and practice. In general, the M1 Garand can reliably hit targets out to 600 yards and beyond, making it effective in mid-range and even some long-range engagements. The rifle is also chambered in the powerful .30-06 Springfield cartridge, giving it more than enough punch to deal with targets at any typical engagement distance. For its role of general combat utility, the accuracy of the M1 Garand certainly lives up to the standard.
