ICS M1 Garand Full Size Airsoft AEG Rifle with Real Wood Stock (Model: Standard)

"I purchased this rifle back in 2014 when it first released and it is still going strong. It is one of the only airsoft rifles I have owned that I have not had any issues with. It has impressive performance right out of the box and is a head turner for sure. I always receive compliments and have people coming up to me asking if they can have a close look at it. I have only seen another player with an M1 once, so I’m guessing it’s a rare sight in the Midwest right now. My only gripes are that the trigger guard is technically an M14 trigger guard (not easily noticed by players unfamiliar with M1), and the wood furniture seems to be a little loose in the fit, but will not come apart on you. The orange tip is glued on and is not threaded. I ended up just breaking it off using pliers.

I’ve been pretty rough on the field with this rifle and it holds up to the punishment well. It will dent from bb strikes though and the dark stain finish will lighten up in the spots where you grip it over time. I like this worn look, but if you don’t, then don’t bother fielding it. I’ve also fitted my M1 with a 1903 model sling as well as a rubber M1 bayonet replica.

Note: The bayonet won’t fit perfectly on this rifle without modification. The barrel and gas tube on the ICS M1 has a slight gap between them that the real M1 does not have causing the bayonet ring to misalign with the barrel.

Pros:
-Solid stock internals and externals (both hold up well against years of heavy use)
-Stock internals are solid and do not require upgrading
-Excellent stock accuracy and range
-Good weight and feel
-Lots of compliments from other players
-Has that “WWII feel”
-Can classify as a DMR if it exceeds (shoots hot) an Airsoft field‘s normal AEG rifle limitations during chrono.

Cons:
-Wood furniture has some wobble
-Wood dents from bb impacts
-Stain finish lightens up over time with wear (could be pro)
-Not 100% accurate replica externally
-Price has gone up since I purchased it.
-Some internal upgrades may be proprietary

Overall I definitely recommend getting this rifle if you are considering it. It is an excellent choice for WWII enthusiasts and holds up well performance-wise against modern airsoft platforms.

"one of the best WWII airsoft rifles to have!

Shoots very accurate with the .20g bbs

For the reenactors out there, the mags won't fit in the 10 pocket belt but they will fit in the bandoliers and the paratrooper rigger pouches (small)

Really awesome real wood stock and style!

"I had purchased this airsoft gun almost 2 years ago with the thought that it was just gunna be a show piece.
I took it out to one game using .20 right after I bought it and its was ok I wasnt blown away or anything. Well at my local field we were doing a d-day based game about a month ago and I decided to clean the dust off and take it out for the day. I started sighting it in with .30 and I was getting really good range. And what suprised me even more I have .40 that non of my other guns could hop but this m1 garand hopped the .40 like it was nothing.

Once getting my sights dialed in with .40 I had very little effect from the wind and could hit basically anything I put my sights on with one shot.

PROS
. Very accurate
. A true dmr
. Can hop heavy weight bbs.
. Very sturdy
. Feels pre upgraded
. Amazing on a shelf/stand and amazing in the field.

CONS
. I found the orange tip difficult to remove.


Yes this is an expensive gun but in my opinion the price is fully justified. I've used friends krytacs and other good high quality guns. I feel as though this sits up top with some of the best and even better then some

"The ICS M1 Garand is a well built AEG. ICS have certainly out done themselves with this product as their attempt to replicate "the greatest battle implement ever devised" into a competitive airsoft gun has succeeded in all parameters.

When showing this rifle to my grandfather, who was trained on the real rifle during his military service, he stated that every bit of the gun is where it's supposed to be, but noted that length of the gun is a bit shorter compared to the real firearm. Though maybe not in its exact dimensions, this replica is very close to mirroring its real steel counterpart and it helped me gain insight into how my grandfather interacted with the rifle during his military duty.

This rifle is made of real wood, metal, and some steel bits with the only plastic parts being the magazine and the orange tip. Speaking of the orange tip, it must be removed in order to proceed with the take down or disassembly. Expect this orange tip to be glued on and it will be a stubborn removal. Also if you want to mount a rubber bayonet to this AEG, and you can do this thanks to the bayonet lug, you still need removal of the orange tip otherwise the rubber bayonet won't fit on the muzzle.

For this rifle being made out of these high quality materials that is not plastic, it comes with some good weight to it. Putting this AEG to your shoulder and looking down the sights feels great. The iron sights are simple and clear, you do not need a scope or a fancy holographic sight to see your target with this rifle. True to the real steel it is a semi-automatic rifle. The gearbox does not support a select fire function so full-auto is not possible and not needed. This helps with airsoft fields that designate sections of the play area for guns to be selected to semi-automatic for safety precautions. The magazine does hold 42 rounds, you will shoot at least up to 38 rounds before the spring in the mag quits cycling the remaining two or three rounds. This is not a big deal since a majority of airsoft magazines have this quirk. A plus with the purchase of this product is that it comes with two mags for you to play with before the necessity to buy more magazines which are $20 a pop. I recommend a purchase of an ammunition bag due to the bulky nature of these magazines.

ICS M1 Garand is known as a reliable piece of kit, but there is one inconvenience that is fixable and it involves the trigger portion of the gearbox. The trigger block on the right side of the outer shell of the gearbox engages with the trigger switch. The block will not slide forward when you don't commit to the full trigger pull. The screws that hold the trigger block maybe loose not allowing the block to shift forward when pulling the trigger. Tighten these screws a bit to be sure the trigger block slides forward to engage the trigger switch reliably.
With my M1, I have also encountered a problem involving the trigger switch itself. The three electrical bits that engage the electric current that fires the gun, the two prongs that touch the center prong have widened themselves away from the center prong denying the electric current needed to fire the gun. Luckily, these prongs are visible from the bottom of the gearbox and you can use a flathead screw small enough to reach in and manipulate the two electric prongs of the trigger switch back into position to complete the circulation of electricity.

Overall:
Even with the inconvenient yet fixable glitches that I mentioned, the ICS M1 Garand is a reliable AEG that can compete with other AEGs on the airsoft field. FPS range somewhere between the high 300s to the low 400s depending on the weight of the 6mm BBs. It's best at close to medium range engagements, best suited for the designated marksmen roll. This AEG is perfect for those making WWII builds, Korean War builds, you can even be cheeky by adding this gun to a Vietnam War build. The only thing that doesn't fully completely this replica that players point out that the ICS M1 Garand does not make the iconic en-bloc clip *Ping* sound. But what you do have is the mock charging bolt that actually sounds like a bolt racking the next round into the chamber. This makes the mock charging bolt of airsoft M14s sound like bicycle bells.

ICS M1 GARAND: 5 Stars out of 5

"This gun is absolutely amazing. The performance and durability is good and strong and it’s powerful. Now over time some of the cosmetics like the bolt plate or the rear hand guard will wear off and brake so it will require a little maintenance and some replacement of parts. Over all this is my favorite gun in my arsenal. Love it

"Ok, put this gun thru a weekend of action. at first, it took a bit of time to learn the guns attitude and as I made adjustments to her she responded in a great way. Chrono 416 with .28 so for most fields this will be a DMR. accuracy is spot on and deadly to 150ft. I had quite a few kills at that range firing one to 3 shots to hit the target. also had two kills at 200ft and one of the two was "one shot one kill" kills at 100 ft or less was pretty much automatic see them aim, pull the trigger ..."HIT" was the result. The build of this gun is rock solid. yes, she is around 9.5lbs or so, but well balanced so the weight of the gun goes almost unnoticed. Mag capacity is roughly 32 rounds per mag. I don't push to jam every last one I can get in there but I don't think you can get the 40 rounds in. My gun is also very quiet when firing. The only problem I have now is which gun do I run as I have a Thompson M1A1 that I love to bring into battle. So I give it a 10 of 10 I am very Happy with this gun. If you are looking for a real wood and metal gun this is it!

"The M1 Garand by ICS is extremely nice. It has some problems, but the benefits outweigh the risks with this gun.

Pros:
Amazing feeling wood furniture
Solid construction
Nicely weighted
Magazines feed nicely
Nice air freshener
All of the serial numbers are different

Cons:
The magazines are a little wonky fitting in the gun but it dosen't effect preformance
If one presses the trigger slowly, the gun fires in full automatic
The information on the rear near the sight says "Springfield army" when it should say "Springdale armory"
Putting a barrel cover on is a puzzling task
FPS limit is wayyy too high to play CQB with (closest outdoor field to me is ~1hr away and is easier to play indoors)

All-in-all, the cons are only minor and fixable things that don't affect the preformance of the gun, therefore it's still 5 stars for me. Perfect for any WW2 load out. It's also a unique gun that isn't seen quite often. Depending on your field rules, it might need the spring changed out though.

TL;DR killing Nazis made easy!

"Bought this work of art on Saturday and used it later that day for a chillsim op and it far exceeded my expectations, so far I have clocked it out to 150ft with .25g bbs.

Pros:
Laser accurate
Near instant trigger response with a 1600mah 9.6v battery
400fps with .25g BBs
Wood is very nice quality
Solid build, definitely won't break any time soon
Wood finish is a bit rough so it's easier to hold if you wear gloves, could be a con for some

Cons:
Mags could hold a bit more ammo, more of a gripe than anything else
Mags are a bit large so they won't fit in ww2 M1 pouches
Wood finish is a bit rough, some may prefer the look of a smooth finish for display purposes

Overall, you have to shoot this gun to really understand how amazing it is

"I have now had this over 3 years and have put over 10,000 rounds through it. I shoot .28 gram BBs through it which seem to be the ideal weight for range and stability of flight outdoors. It still shoots at just shy of 400 fps w/ .20 gram when chrono for games. When new it shot at 425 or so. It came with two magazines. I have purchased more and find they consistently feed around 30 rounds.

It is a bit wonky in shape as mentioned elsewhere when along side an actual Garand. Most everything is slightly huskier if that makes sense but on its own it looks proportionate. The wood furniture is the nicest between the G n G, and A & K. The grain and oiled finish are nicer than the stains they use.

It shoots very accurately and as you would expect for a main battle weapon from 70 years ago it is long, heavy and not as ergonomic as an M4 or contemporary weapon.

I think it is just plain badass and it is my favorite airsoft rifle. Can't wait for someone to make an equally attractive and skirmishable AEG M1 carbine especially if they take the time to keep the subtle details WW2 specific. (Not a post war M2)

While you're at it make a non shell ejecting, spring powered Kar 98 so I'll have someone to battle armed with something besides an MP40 or Stg 44!

"I have had this rifle for 3 years and it is my favorite airsoft guns and a must bring every time I play. This is the perfect gun for anyone looking to get something that isnt another m4 and will dominate your foes. With a 7.4 volt lipo it hits around 400 fps and is incredible accurate; not to mention the gun has down little to break. Just make sure not to tug on the wiring to much around the battery. Also it's good to know you should buy extra mags for this gun, I have 5 now and this is just neiugh for most airsoft games, I usually will have to speed load mags sill though at bigger games because I'm not the best shot but the rifle still shots incredible well. Also on my m1 at least I have full auto, if I really slowly squeeze the trigger it fres full auto at a fairly high RPM.
Pros
Accurate
Well built
Hits hard
Great looking and good weight
Can mount a bayonet

Cons
Only 42 rounds in a mag(but not a big deal, get more mags)

"Pros:
-INSANELY ACCURATE. When I got it I could hit a quarter about 9/10 times from 25ft away. After taking it apart, I tightened up the barrel screws and tightened just about everything on the gun when I reassembled it. Now I can hit a dime 10/10 times from 25ft away.
(I strongly recommend tightening things up, *including wire connections*) (Use .25 BB's to achieve this!)

-Holds about 38 rounds, which is more than most M1G's.

-Very true to the real look. Has an m14 Trigger guard (who gives a darn lol, it's better anyway).

-Mine shoots at 410 fps. The outdoor limit for non-bolt-action in Ontario is usually 425.

-Only shoots semi, so that you can't be a history destroying noob.

-NiMH batteries work just fine and will last you all day.

-Real wood and real steel alloy.

-Very nice paint job

-Extremely easy to use hop-up and quick sight elevation + windage adjustment.

-COMES WITH TWO MAGS WOHOOOOO!

Cons:

-Can't take apart without removing the orange tip.

-Nearly impossible to remove the orange tip (got a 2-inch large second-degree burn on my hand from it, lol).

-Arrives with very loose screws and wire connections, (Trigger pulls stopped firing the gun because of this, it was an easy fix once I took it apart)

-Own a toolkit for taking it apart first.......

-Still only holds 38 rounds, not to mention that the last ~3 don't shoot.

-Semi-hard to load.


In conclusion, I love the **** out of mine and all the cons are just little issues to me. I EVEN CARVED A CANADIAN FLAG INTO IT!!!
By the way, I'd be giving it a 4/5 but somebody I'm not going to name (-Lisa M-, shhhhhhh........) gave it a 1/5 because they didn't bother to even attempt to tighten the screws and wire connections.
Overall the gun is extremely good for an experienced player.

VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: --------_
Ps: Lisa M, all you had to do was fiddle with the (gearboxes) trigger piece, then after that, reconnect all the wires and use pliers to clamp down the connections to make sure they don't come undone. (Make sure you re-assemble the MOSFET properly! If you even still own it that is...)

"This gun is extremely good, and fun to use. It feeds well, is super accurate and reliable, the wood is great, and even better once it's oiled a few times. It is rock solid and won't break on you.

Pros
-accurate
-reliable
-good fps
-looks great
-goes great with a ww2 load out
-cheap mags
-easy to find parts
-beautiful externally

Cons
-none

"Don't get this gun if you are one of those people who ruin a ww2 gun by putting a red dot site and a grip on it.

"Long story short, get this gun.

I've had this gun for nearly a year now, and used it in temperatures ranging from 10 degrees to 90, and it has always worked like a champ. Accurate, sturdy, hard hitting, fantastic range, and it turns every head when you bring it out to chrono.

For the WWII airsofter, this is the quintessential piece of kit. It took my Marine impression from good to fantastic in one swift swoop. The magazine capacity is admittedly small, but since you're locked on semi it lasts longer than you would think. Be that as it may, I run 6-7 magazines for local field games and ran 10 at a small milsim event. I was reloading nearly every respawn though. Taking this guy to an AMS event would be a stretch in my opinion, but for anything lesser it certainly does the job, and in style too.

The mags DO fit in m1923 cartridge belts! i use my AtTheFront repro. You need to take off the base plate (just unscrew that little screw and slide it off) and then stretch out the belt slightly by leaving the magazines in there for a couple days. I wouldn't necessarily do it to an original, but I think it's well worth it to (slightly) stretch out a repro.

I ran it stock for most of the 10 months that I've beaten on this gun, and then I decided to buy a Prometheus smooth bucking and flat hop nub. I had to sand down the hop up arm a little, but now that I've done it I'm winging .30s out 250 Plus feet. Easily. I don't remember what it chronoed at right when I got it, but at 10 months old and with the new bucking it chronoed at 420 or so fps with .20s. I had the hop up set for .30s, so it probably shoots closer to 430, hop off. Just a hair under ideal DMR fps. With a 9.6v battery trigger response is satisfactory.

Pros: it's a freaking Garand!
Shoots hard
Extremely accurate for a stock gun (I believe I heard somewhere that it comes with a 6.05 mm tightbore)
Exceptional range
Turns heads
Real wood (mine is pockmarked with bb marks and scratched up and worn in. Looks fantastic)
Metal externals wear nicely
Serial number and trademarks. I believe it is a unique number.
It's a Garand
Good trigger response, even with a 9.6. I'd like to try a 7.4 lipo in it.
Incredibly long inner barrel. 610mm. You can shoot DMR fps on a considerably lighter spring
Aftermarket support of proprietary parts
Mags can fit in cartridge belts (for you WWII airsofters)

Cons:
When I initially got it, there was a hairline crack in the wood stock. I sent it back to evike and they sent me a new gun. Make sure to check your gun right when you get it in case it comes with a crack. I haven't had any issues with my current one, even though I beat on it.

Mags are a pain. Expect to spend AT LEAST another $70 in mags to be able to skirmish. In game the capacity isn't painfully low, but you do have to be judicious with your shots in longer games.

Not a whole lot of upgrades available.

Trademarks are.. Eh. They tried. Or else ICS is just very Asian. Instead of Springfield Armory, it reads "Springdale Army." At a glance it looks right, but on further inspection they provide a laugh. This inaccuracy may offend some purists.

My piston stripped the last time I used it. No big deal, I've used it a lot, but the gearbox is such a PITA to get in. I have the replacement part sitting on my desk right now. I just need to pluck up the courage to dedicate an afternoon to swearing at my gun.

Shoots hot. OOTB shooting over 400, you'll be regulated to use as a DMR at nearly any field in the US. The gun shoots plenty far and accurate enough to fulfill this role, especially with a flat hop. Besides, the gun is long as hell. You wouldn't be kicking in doors with it anyway.

Long story short, get this gun. Like I said earlier, when I wear my WWII kit everybody fawns over me and my gun. even when I ran it at a small Milsim in OpFor gear, people were stopping me all day to compliment me on my gun. Everybody loves a garand. If you're in the WWII scene or want a DMR that will turn heads, get this gun.

"This rifle is a beast I love it! I have had it for about 3 years now and works amazing still! It goes good for people wanting to complete a WWII load out just like i did it's amazing! Ics did a amazing job on it!

Pros:
works great after 3 years
Shoots REALLY ACCURATE
THE MAGAZINES DO FIT IN THE M1 CARTRIGE BELT!
Feels like the real thing
I've dropped it a lot and never broke the internals or anything

Cons:
Over time of use the wood will get scratched, mine actually broke but I glued it and looks good still like it never happen
42 rd mag
