wait till you see this beautiful piece of American history that I just picked up
pocket just waiting to find that perfect gun I've been searching for antique
American rifles primarily World War 2 World War one or anything over a hundred
years old and it has been a very long process trying to find the exact the
perfect one that I wanted to get to add to my collection and wait till you see
this beautiful piece of American history that I just picked up
how's it going guys looking back to the pile of patreon channel now we are in
Sevierville Tennessee we're here on a work trip for my wife and just so
happens that Sevierville is one of the homes of Bud's gun shop so on the way in
we saw a bunch of different gun stores a bunch of different antique stores and
just so happens I'm in the mood to buy an antique gun I'm looking something
World War 2 or older preferably American I don't know what I'm gonna find
but we're fixing to go shopping here in Sevierville we're gonna hit as many gun
stores as we can as many antique stores as we can so let's go for a ride
so we're in Tennessee for a work trip from a wife and I'm looking through
Google to see what's around for me and my son to go do and believe it or not we
found out we were only five minutes away from Bud's gun shop if you bought ever
bought a gun online and you've heard a buzz gun job so let's go check it out
alright guys it's my honest impressions of Bud's gun shop yeah they may be one
of the biggest online gun stores there is but the actual store in Sevierville
Tennessee a much there I mean they got pretty much all the new guns you would
want and they had almost no used stuff not old stuff as what I was really
looking for today all right well since buds was a little bit of a letdown I
didn't find we were looking for we're on to the next one we're going to the
largest knife store in the country is what the sign says and it looks like
they have guns too so let's check it out
well that place is really cool that I guarantee they had millions of knives in
there every brand and tight you could think of swords and everything that was
cool but it wasn't really what I was looking for
they did have a nice gun section and all the new stuff and obviously a lot more
used stuff they had a m14 that was really cool I took a look at but still
haven't found what I'm looking for I'm looking for some old stuff I'm looking
for 1903 Springfield or m1 garand or older you know I don't know maybe we'll
find them at the antique stores
all right so we have gone to several antique stores we did see some guns at
one of them they were old and there was a Japanese gun and old African something
still not really what I'm looking for we're still trying to find some old
American guns but we tried one pawn shop so far they didn't really have much so
we'll keep going got another place in mind now here's a
place we just had to stop that I saw the name of the place from the road and we
had to pull in that is J Floyd's golf and guns now you have to respect the
town that even sells guns at their golf store so we're gonna kill two birds with
one stone let's go check it out
it's definitely cool to be able to buy golf clubs and guns in the same place
but they still didn't have a we were looking for still
now I don't want to call this a hole-in-the-wall gun store but it is a
smaller gun store and I really like what they had in there they they had a lot of
older guns had a Springfield 1873 trapdoor really interested in that had
an infield that was cool so we might be coming back here Oh Rocky Top armory
how's it going guys welcome back to the pilot Patriot Channel today we are doing
a little gun shopping so I've got a couple different opportunities today to
find some cool guns first there is a military antique gun show today I've
been looking forward to that for a couple months now number two and where
I'm headed right now it is 7 o'clock in the morning I saw earlier this week on
Facebook that there is a multi-family yard sale and gun estate sale today
close by my house by 10 minutes down the road so we're definitely gonna go check
that out I like the way that sounds but anyway here's what I'm looking for
I'm looking for old stuff I'm looking for older guns
so specifically m1 garand, m1 carbine, 1903 Springfield, 1873 Springfield ,1860
Springfield so there's a lot of things I'm looking for I'm hoping I can find
something like that today stick with me guys
I'll give you update here in a little bit
well guys the yardsale was a bust they did have quite a few guns and I'll put
in a picture of others but and they did have some older stuff had a lot of
shotguns single-shot and shotguns and kind of Marlin twenty-two and a Ruger
twenty-two stuff like that a couple cool old Sears & Roebuck and shotguns but I
did end up buying something I bought a map it's a map of the North Carolina
Outer Banks from 1720 so that's pretty cool but anyway we're gonna head to the
military antique gun show so we can't find walk around there give you guys an
update
well guys got good news from the military gun show if you can see here
I found an M1 Garand 1945 early 1945 so it was a live long enough just to kill a
couple Germans and then get ready for the Korean War I guess but more on this
later we'll bring it to the tabletop take a quick look at it it's been a good
day all right here it is guys the greatest battle implement ever devised
this is the u.s. rifle caliber 30 m1 or as you might know it the m1 garand I
have one in one of these four years now like most of you I do have a list of
guns that I want and it did take me a while to make the decision I told my
wife I was just going to go in there and walk around for about thirty minutes of
course it ended up being more like two hours before I made a decision and for
the past five years the m1 garand has been at the very top of my list and I
finally got one and I cannot be more excited about it I love old guns I love
history and nothing quite says American history like the m1 garand now we'll be
doing a full detailed review of this rifle all the stamps and cartoons and
the history behind it and how you can find out the history of your gun as well
so make sure you stay tuned for that video if you do follow us on patreon you
will see that video at least a week or two before everybody else here on
YouTube so make sure you're following us over on patreon but for now we're just
gonna do a quick overview this was the standard issued rifle for world war ii
and korea this gun was manufactured in early 1945 it does have mostly correct
parts for 1945 the receiver and the barrel both match all the other smaller
components are correct for 1945 this is a Springfield model they were the
primary manufacturer of the m1 garand the only other company that made it
during World War Two was Winchester and then for Korea you also had
International Harvester and Harrington & Richardson but this is a true World War
2 m1 garand the only thing that is different is the stock most of these
guns did through a renown program at some point
in their lifetime as this gun got beat up after world war ii as you can imagine
one of the first things to get damaged on one of these guns would have been the
stock so after World War two they would rial fit some of them with parts from
other guns or putting new stocks on them or something like that
the same thing is true for during Korea and after Korea a lot of immigrants have
a lot of mix-matched parts and everything and luckily this one does not
it's mostly all correct 1945 that all appears to be all original components
other than the stock which I believe to be a Korean war-era stock but it
definitely does still have plenty of wear on it this thing definitely saw
some battlefield use it's got several dents and dings and scratches and things
like that and that's really what I wanted you can find cmp rebuilds and
things like that or people will refinish these stocks put brand new manufacture
stocks on there and that's just not what I want I wanted a gun that looks like it
was picked up off the battlefield and that is what I got this is just a beast
of a rifle this thing is ten pounds of solid american-made steel and walnut and
just holding this thing in your hands you just feel the heft and the power and
just the the sturdiness of this rifle like I said at the beginning General
Patton said this was the greatest battle implement ever devised and he was right
especially for the time period it does shoot an eighth round in block clip of
30 out six and you can imagine the hidden power of this versus today's tiny
five five six and the famous for that ping that you hear every time it ejects
after you shoot the last round like I said I will be doing an in-depth review
of this thing we'll shoot it on video so you guys can see it but this is just a
beautiful gun all correct parts has the DoD stamp here on the stock and I just
couldn't have asked for a better rifle I can't tell you how excited I am to have
this thing and I can't wait to shoot it so make sure you guys stay tuned for
