The best firearms reference books: https://www.headstamppublishing.com In January 1944 men of the 93rd Infantry Division field-modified an M1 to give it a shorter (18") barrel, and the rifle was sent back to the US and tested by the Infantry Board. The idea was that a rifle like this might be of use to paratroopers, being more powerful than the M1A1 Carbine they were already using. The job of exploring the idea was given to John Garand at Springfield Armory, and he began work that same month. One example was made in the spring of 1944, using an underfolding stock designed by Garand (for which he received a patent in 1949). It was 5" shorts and 1.2 pounds lighter than a standard M1, but exhibited excessive blast and concussion. The initial design used the folding stock with a traditional grip, and this was found uncomfortable (no surprise there). The rifle was refitted with a rather off steel pistol grip, but this was also not a great solution. By this time testing found the whole thing undesirable and it went no farther. Thanks to the Springfield Armory National Historic Site for giving me access to this truly unique specimen from their reference collection to film for you!
