This video compares two rare Pedersen Garand rifles, the GX and GY, highlighting their key differences. John Pedersen, after his toggle-locked designs were rejected, created copies of the M1 Garand in the late 1930s. The GX and GY series, each with only 10-12 examples made, feature distinct modifications. The primary distinctions lie in their clips and gas systems. The earlier GX utilizes a unique Pedersen-designed clip, whereas the later GY adopts the standard M1 Garand clip. Furthermore, the GX initially featured a gas trap system, similar to early Garand development, which was later retrofitted to a standard gas port system, mirroring the M1 Garand's own evolution. These differences are crucial for understanding their historical development and potential military adoption.
