It utilized a rail pinned and screwed to the left side of the receiver, coupled with a quick-release scope on top. The rails had to be installed prior to heat treating the receivers, which had the unfortunately consequence of preventing rifles form being chosen for sniper conversion based on their mechanical accuracy. Instead, accuracy would be tested only after rifles were complete, leading to a 60% rejection rate.<\/p>\n<p>The scope was offset to the left of the receiver so as not to interfere with the Garand\u2019s clip loading, and issued with a leather cheek pad to give the shooter\u2019s cheek weld a matching offset to the left. The scope used with the M1C was the M73B1, later replaced with the M81 and M82 scopes &#8211; all military versions of the 2.5x Lyman Alaskan hunting scope (which was a very good piece of equipment despite its low magnification)<\/p>\n<p>The M1C was adopted in 1944, but production and quality control delays would prevent it from seeing any action in WWII. It was in use during the Korean War, however, before being replaced by the M1D.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.patreon.com\/ForgottenWeapons\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/www.patreon.com\/ForgottenWeapons<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Related:<br \/>\nJapanese Type 97 Sniper: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=LvoeQvHbCyc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=LvoeQvHbCyc<\/a><br \/>\nUS WWI Sniper Rifles: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=-dWICTS0g-E\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=-dWICTS0g-E<\/a><br \/>\nMosin Nagant M91\/30 PU Sniper: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=OFA5U5FwJbo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=OFA5U5FwJbo<\/a><br \/>\nM3 Infrared Sniper Carbine: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=BvfABFaiBVo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=BvfABFaiBVo<\/a><br \/>\nZF41 Scout Scope: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=2oNTKnYMfI8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=2oNTKnYMfI8<\/a><br \/>\n2 Gun Action Match &#8211; WWII Snipers: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=kUPOD99urCE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=kUPOD99urCE<\/a><br \/>\nM1D Sniper Garand: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=eqcMwiKfxb8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=eqcMwiKfxb8<\/a><br \/>\nMC-1952 Sniper Garand: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=DxsQShvfmMo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=DxsQShvfmMo<\/a><br \/>\nM1903A4 Sniper Rifles: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=8kO867TRAwQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=8kO867TRAwQ<\/a><br \/>\nM70 Vietnam Sniper: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=XYX4Ce6vzHw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=XYX4Ce6vzHw<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sold for $4,025.
