Shell Ejecting M1 Garand
 
Hi All,

Does anybody know if a gas powered clip fed shell ejecting M1 Garand exists?

I've done a ton of searching and the closest thing I can come up with is the Marushin M1 Garand, which is clip fed but not shell ejecting (and apparently discontinued). I'll probably end up just hunting for one of those but what I really want is a shell ejecting M1 Garand to go with my gas powered DBoys Kar98k shell ejecter. So I figured i'd ask here before shelling out the bucks on the Marushin.

I want one enough that I'd probably pay in the 600-700 dollar range depending on the gun but cheaper is obviously better!

P.S. This is for target shooting / collecting so the shell ejection would be a feature rather than a liability.

Thanks for any help!

there is none.

fretwire May 27th, 2015 23:27

Thanks for the quick reply and what a drag ;(

At least now I can focus on finding me a Marushin instead of searching for a unicorn!

unless you want it as a wall hanger, dont bother.
they're expensive and rather unfieldable.

best bet right now is the G&G or ICS ones.

Don't bother with the G&G, Its a good performer as an airsoft gun goes. But its a very very bad replica. ICS has some proportion issues, but simply looks better overall.

Marushin M1 Garand , I've got one. Get you age verify and check AV retailer section, you will find the way.

There will never come a day when I'll give a complete stranger my full name and birth date on a piece of paper so I can get access to an internet forum.

So no plans to get age verified but I'll find one myself, worry not!

Really I just wanted to know if anybody ever made a shell ejecting version, which seems like a negative :(

BTW, not looking to field one it's just for target shooting. That and I have the Axis service rifle (Mauser K98k) so I want the Allied one that helped beat 'em!!

I'll get the Marushin - looks like the others mentioned are magazine fed instead of clip fed anyways.

Thanks for the help!!!

Strelok May 28th, 2015 01:03

Good luck!

then what are you doing here? to me, you are looking at 1 to 3 grand for the marushin but its extremely rare, which you can find here on ASC, at this point you might as well get a real garand, also, you still have to give up your information to the clerk, whom you probably don't know, what makes it so different from that and being verified? and its just a one time deal
just wondering and best of luck finding one

/snip

pretty sure most people have more then that listed on their facebook accounts...
anyways I wish you luck.
There was one in the classifieds here like a year or so ago, I think it went for 1500$ or something

they're not cheap, and finding spare parts/mags are gonna be a bitch.
but if its a wall hanger/backyard plinker it might be a decent little gun

fretwire May 28th, 2015 01:29

I don't want one bad enough to drop $1500!! At least I don't think I do...

I use my K98k as a target shooter and it works well. It was cheap, and I ended up spending about what I spent on the gun on upgrades, plus it takes a fair bit of maintenance but I absolutely love it. Love it.

As far as getting a powder M1 Garand, that would be much too loud!

I'm also well aware of the privacy concerns with Facebook and I don't mean to ignore the others' comment wrt to age verification, just trying to keep things on topic. Though I guess that's a bit of a fail considering i'm talking about my Mauser in a thread I myself started about an M1 Garand!!

Sorry 'bout that ;)

I started collecting airsoft guns in 1980's. So far there is only the Maurshin M1 Carbine has shell eject version which was very hard to find one today.

I have one which and it has 2 gas chambers, one for shooting the bbs, and one for the blow black. Shells are plastic. Not very powerful but good for enjoying the functional experience of shell eject WW2 classic rifle.

Hectic May 28th, 2015 01:55

Oh there is at least one.
Not sure if they will ship to canada. Also no velocity listed so not sure if it will import at all. Plus you sugested that $1500 was too much so $3500 plus exchange and shipping from NZ with a prety good chance it gets held by cbsa....

fretwire May 28th, 2015 01:57

If you ever want to sell that send me a PM!! We can meet in person and if you think I look under 30 i'll happily show you my ID.

But you're also getting a big sloppy kiss for the complement.

Then I suppose you'll slug me.... but you'll walk away with some cash and i'll walk away with a sore jaw and a shell ejecting M1 Garand!

Seriously, these Airsoft guns are PERFECT for indoor target shooting so I really hope now that it seems to be everywhere companies will release guns that are designed for that purpose.

Holy crap that's a chunk of change!!!

I definitely don't want one that badly...

I'd probably be happier with a magazine fed M1 Garand and $3k in my pocket.

Post up on our forum and see, somebody might have one kicking around.. No idea.

http://ontarioairsoftwwiireenactors....8307bda7381bf4

Either way, you've got a fancy for WW2 stuff and we like you ;)

N_Force May 28th, 2015 06:22

This model I believe I held one and tested fired it long ago. I almost bought it then I changed my mind and walked away with the cash. I found that the power was a bit too weak and the shell eject blow back was too slow. It was a nice design and finishing. Now I think I miss it. LMAO. Would you show some pics and video. Love to see it again! Please.

Oh man, this is a very unique piece for collections. Just I dun have the cash. Absolutely like to get one like this. LOL

Forever_Kaos: I'm on me way!! But if I get there and find out I gotta be 'age verfied' to look at toys for sale, i'm gonna roll my eyes. I swear I will!

Swattiger: 100% agreed with N_Force about the pics. I'd love to see some shots of that beauty if you have an opportunity to take some. Probably well out of my price range even if you did want to move it but i'd like to gawk at it and i'm sure others would also.

Might as well just buy a real Garand for 1/3 the cost...

Agreed. For price is way lower to get a real one. But when something unique, even limited, that's the higher price has to pay for. Especially the Japanese engineering behind it. (real steel is much higher population than airsoft, that's making airsoft more expensive than RS) Unfortunately I just don't have that much to spend. Believe me or not, my airsoft I spent and invested, all of them are below $1.5k including upgrades but not including the time I spent on them. And also I always said, airsoft need no license and go to range, I just stay in my gun tech room and get everything done and test most likely! Pretty easy tho. Or for long range test, I go to friends home with 5 acre back yard to test out.

Shell Ejecting Marushin M1 Carbine
 
5 Attachment(s)
As promised, here are some of the pictures of the my shell ejecting Marushin
M1 Carbine, real wood stock, short magazine, comes with 8 shells, and I have bought extra 8 shells.

Two gas chambers, one for blow black, one for shooting BBs. Need some fine tune to make the blow back work. But whole gun is in good condition as I actually do not play (not to mention game) with it a lot.

One "weird" thing is the "black paint bbs" come with the pacakge. I never use it as I don't want to clean up the chamber.

Enjoy !

N_Force June 12th, 2015 19:55

Nice collection piece, my friend. If you bought it around 80', that could be the one I liked but didn't buy it. You're keeping it soooo gooood.

Thanks and I did buy it in around 1993. I also bought a spring power Tanaka 98Kar which is also still in good condition.

fretwire June 13th, 2015 10:26

Thanks for posting the pictures Swattiger. That baby looks awesome and you've definitely kept it in tip-top condition! Neat idea having a second gas chamber for the blowback also.

Do you know what it shoots at roughly?

What fun that must be!

Thanks for your kind words.

I believe it shoots around 240FPS.
