The initial 80 Model Shop Rifles made under the personal supervision of John Garand in 1934 and 1935, and the first 50,000+ production "gas trap" M1s, manufactured at Springfield Armory between August, 1937 and August, 1940. The book contains; a historical overview of US semi automatic rifle development before and after WW1; John Garand's early designs; production of the Model Shop rifles and the 50,000+ production "gas traps" and the changeover from "Gas trap" to "Gas Port" in August, 1940. Then a full chapter is devoted to each component assembly of the "Gas Trap" M1, including unique, never before published analyses of component function by the "Troubleshooter"; Ammunition and Clips; Accessories, Equipment and Tools; expert evaluation techniques and important caveats for collectors of early M1 Rifles; the texts of both original (March & May, 1934) M1 manuals; and a comprehensive examination of all John Garand's patented inventions. 383 illustrations.
