M1 Garand[edit]

The M1 Garand was the first self-loading rifle to become a standard issue weapon in the army of a major world power (the US), and was the only semi automatic rifle in service for the majority of World War II. Has been extensively edited and supplemented, and in my humble opinion the article is very well written. A very significant rifle in the history of firearms, and one that may quite well have influenced the outcome of World War II. EDIT (11/15): I have given the article what should be complete references. Unsigned comment by Banana! (talk · contribs)

Comment: gave the article a once-over and added website references.--Banana! 18:54, 15 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: It's a nice article and I learned a lot. However, I think that the references should probably be incorporated into the text. Also, some copyediting would probably help - two discussions of the ping, etc. Great work! InvictaHOG 20:15, 15 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Drop a note to User:WegianWarrior. He was essential in bringing Kammerlader up to featured status and he knows his fire arms. He might be able to provide some helpful insights. - Mgm|^(talk) 13:40, 16 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
