It was mainly used in Korea, by Vietnam they had better sniper rifles. It did see some service in wwII though, in the last months of the war. Looking good, but the eye piece looks like it could be a bit bigger to me.

yeah, you guys are right. scope has been made a bit thicker. eye piece still needs a bit more tweaking.

entire skin is by polygon btw, i just tweeked it and played around to make the scope match the look of the rifle.

I love it the way it is, ash. As soon as you release it I'm gonna skin it to my own liking, but the model is perfect. :D

2 things i m glad about:

1. finally someone made a v1.0 compatible scoped Garand! i remember devin kyrss did this i think in b3.x if i m not mistaken.

2. no one is flaming. I remember in Devin's thread people were bashing his work just because it looked ugly (i think it was because of the orgins or something). I'm glad no one is doing that right now :)

Ash,
keep it up. Hope to see more good stuff coming from you.

Rifle looks good. So is the scope just for looks or can you actually use the scope to shoot?

As far as bashing the work of skinners/modders...in my opinion that is sort of the tweaking process. One of the reasons why new work is posted here is for the feedback. Criticism is expected and often asked for when the modder asks the public what we think. Don't ask for opinions and feedback and then expect it to be all good.

Criticism is good, either destructive or constructive. Take both and use them how you may to make a good model.

Take care.

Nice idea, although M1Ds were mostly used in Korea to my knowlegde.

Oh, and that girl looks definately not 18.... it might be from a teen porn series :x .... but hey, nobody can blame him for anything because there are no genitals shown off. Itīs just a bit perverse. I mean, I have nothing against people who watch porn, but making sigs out of porn pictures? No, thank you sir. I might be wrong, but only the one who uses this sig can probably enlighten us.

Aw, sweet! Not many 5 bullet-clip, bolt-action Garands out, though. :D


BTW, that girl looks like she's 14.

Looks good. I was wondering, could you make the scope lense transparent, then position it where the crosshair would be and use it as a garand replacement just for the hell of it?

The M1-C and the M1-D Garands were adopted in August and then September of 1944, they never were actually issued and only saw combat in the Korean War.*

*Like most WWII weapons, some filtered into the Vietnam era.

Looks nice. Good to see everyone is still hacking away at my Garand model, heh.

The way I figure it, you've got a buddy who's a QM and happened to get his hands on a crate of them(they fell off a truck), and through a bit of haggling you managed to procure one for yourself.

Thats what im sayin. I like. RELEASE. I would perfer it be a replacement for the springfield though. And also will you be adding sound or get someone to add diffrent sounds for it? I know i could just use the Regular Garand sound but, for a sniper rifle i think it should sound a lil more powerfull cuz its gonna have more punch than the reg. granad. Just my $.02
