M1a vs m1 garand4/4/2024 ![]() Barrel steel isn't all that hard service barrels aren't all that thick. The M14 design bayonet mount isn't very sturdy because it attaches to the flash suppressor only, which I've already opined was a relatively fragile design.Īlso, there is the matter of the (again) relatively long forward end of the M14 barrel. And being locked onto the gas cylinder, this entire arrangement isn't nearly as sturdy as, say, an '03 Springfield. On the M1 Garand, the ball stud that fits into the gas cylinder plug isn't as sturdy as a ring that encircles the barrel.
