This video explores the M1E10 Garand-Ljungman Prototype, an experimental variant of the M1 Garand developed by Springfield Armory in 1944. Springfield sought to simplify the Garand's manufacturing process, particularly the operating rod. They experimented with adapting the gas system from the Swedish AG42 Ljungman rifle, hoping to eliminate the bent section of the operating rod by redirecting gas. Testing, however, revealed that the hot gases caused excessive wear and damage within the stock, rendering the concept unfeasible. The video highlights this unique historical firearm, made accessible through the Springfield Armory National Historic Site.
