Yep. The M-1 Garand was the last American Battle rifle to have a stacking swivel, the reference to which is lost on modern Marines and other shooters... It was common to see when I was doing my infantry training at Camp Geiger (part of the Lejeune Complex) trios of Garands stacked neatly outside the mess hall or in a lot of other places where we trained...

WRT Shooter 2.5, yes I DO pay attention... what was the topic again?:-)

[Shooter 2.5]

M1= Too expensive. The rifle's too heavy. The ammo is too heavy. Can't use a 203. No auto fire. Even with a box mag as a BM59, the Italians don't use them anymore. You need a Kunhausen shop manual to keep them shooting.


And you don't need a swivel to stack an M-16.
