The Holbrook Device Prevents "M1 Thumb"
Tens of thousands of the famous M1 Garand rifles are now in civilian hands and they have an inherent weakness for civilian use. When a full clip is loaded, the bolt closes automatically and when the last round is fired the clip is automatically ejected. This is great for a battle weapon, however not for a sporting rifle.
My Device replaces the original operating rod catch and stops both these automatic functions therefore making the Garand more versatile and a safer rifle to use. Also, it allows the loading of single rounds which was difficult with the original design. It is very useful for people with physical disabilities and the youth. Left handers love it!
