![]() The other major difference is in the Bolt. The M-1 Garand uses a direct gas-impingement system where gas is bled from directly behind the muzzle and pushes directly on the very-long operating rod. ![]() ![]() The M-14/M-1A use a short stroke gas piston midway down the barrel. The mechanical differences (other than size and magazine style already noted) are few. I don't know the length of an M1, but they are both rifles, not carbines. Also,the gas assembly is about 4" shorter. It allows the scope to sit directly over the bore.what a concept. In function, the M1 and M14 are almost indentical. In a nutshell, an M1 shooter could have his scope zeroed at 200 yds.but he would hit to the right at distances shorter than 200, and he'd hit to the left at distances further than 200.Īlong came the M14, with a detachable mag. That's fine except, when you zero it, you windage will only be zeroed for one distance (since the bore is pointing straight ahead and the scope is zeroed to meet it at some point downrange. Shooters who scope the M1 used a mount that placed ta scope about 1" on center to the left of the bore. Having that area free of obstructions meant that you couldn't put a scope there. That meant that the area directly over the magazine had to be claar of obstructions so that you could use the clip. The M1 had an internal magazine that the shooter refilled using clips. MD, the functional differenced were these:
