Gas Trap Garand by Billy Pyle
The Gas Trap Garand by Billy Pyle Deluxe First Edition, 1999 316 pages, 383 illustrations The M1 Garand was arguably the most respected service rifle in US history, and a veritable library of books has been written about it. However, this is the only book that tells the complete, in-depth story of the rarest Garands of them all: the initial 80 Model Shop rifles, made under the personal supervision of John Garand himself in 1934 and 1935; and the first 50,000+ production "gas trap" M1s, made between August, 1937 and August, 1940. There were only three men who knew all the intimate details of the highly classified M1 project: John Garand; his Chief Model Maker, J R "Red" Stimson; and Art Tuttle, John Garand's personal "Troubleshooter". The respected Garand authority Billy Pyle was fortunate enough to be befriended by the latter, and this groundbreaking study is the result.
