Very soon AirsoftGI will have the new ICS M1 Garand, one of the first M1 AEGs on the market. Join Bob as he reviews this awesome historical gun. With real wood and a metal charging handle, this gun is a great tribute to the real deal.

In the Airsoft Industry, people would build a custom airsoft gun based off of an M4/M16 platform. Reason is, there are more parts available for M4/ M16 variants internally. Seeing this issue, some of the guys in the Marketing Department decided to go off of something else. Such as the JG G3 Lineup! Watch as they take a stock JG G3 along with a $150.00 budget and transform their airsoft guns into a work of art. These guns will be available on our website in the near future.

The M1 Garand is the legendary rifle that was issued to the American G.I. in World War 2. Chambered in 30-06 (pronounced as 30 odd 6), it was the only semi automatic rifle mass produced in World War 2. The M1 Garand was designed by Engineer John Cantius Garand, who at the time in 1928 was working for Springfield Armory. It was eventually adopted by the U.S. Army as their main battle rifle in 1936, and 5 years later, hundreds of thousands of American soldiers were going into battle with an M1 slung over their shoulders. According to my research, John Garand was a true maverick and he built the machine that tooled his rifle. Using a clip loading method was considered very advanced at the time due to the semi automatic function. When an American solider fired an M1 Garand, he has some authority on his shoulder; A well trained American solider could fire all 8 rounds without breaking his point of aim. He had 8 rounds to influence the battle while the enemy had only 1.
