The book contains a series of articles published in Precision Shooting on how to improve the accuracy of an M1 Garand.

If you're looking for a book explaining in great detail how to improve accuracy look further, but if you need a place to start your search for accuracy this book can help. It gives some very clever low cost tips before you can switch tot the more serious measures like glassbedding the action and stock.
Most information on the Net is on sexier glassbedding, but the simple use of a rubber band to eliminate horizontal play in the sights is much cleverer in my opinion.

As this is an American book all size etc aren't metric so being European you'll need to convert everything back to mm's and cm's but that doesn't change the value of the book.

On the whole a very readable book and money well spent.

As a new M1 owner, and not knowing very much about the rifle, this book was/is a big help. The book explains how to help you get the most out of your M1.

This is good introduction to the Garand, a good review of things the old hand might have missed along the way, and not a half bad read. Well worth the money.

Hatcher's "Book of the Garand" is another good one, and Kuhnhausen's book ".30 Caliber Service Rifles" is exhaustive.

I like 'em all.

Book is a compilation of dated magazine articles. Poorly written and very few illustrations. Have not found one useful bit of info for my Garand. Not worth the money unless you are very good at figuring things out from a text description alone and you have advanced gunsmithing skills. You can find more useful diy info for free on the Internet.
