Great video. Thanks for sharing!!!
Two errors:
A shooter can not get M1 thumb loading the rifle.
The bolt should be ridden halfway closed before letting it fly home single loading to avoid a slam fire. The friction of the bolt on the rounds in the magazine slow it's travel in normal operation.

I'm a Garand neophyte, so I'll withhold comments on errors, but I've been watching "bloke" for the past month or so and I like his videos. He's got a great sense of humor as well as being very knowledgeable with firearms. I love his Enfield Frankenrifle.
Nice mate...
I caught the 'M1 Thumb while loading' comment too but it's a common misconception that's been out there for a long time so I'll cut him some slack. I also disagree with his statement that M1 disassembly is complicated. I find it very easy to take apart; especially the trigger assembly. Bolt disassembly can be accomplished without removal from the rifle which is my preferred method. I also feel that the safety is one of the best. Otherwise, it's an informative video that entertains as well.
