📋 About This Mod
It's finally done! I present to you all my take on the classic M1 Garand!
This mod adds an M1 Garand and a M1 Garand Bayonet as standalone weapons into the world of Fallout 4, simple as that.
Also.. add blue tape for ultimate ~IMMERSION~

Blue Betty: There is a note placed on a power-line pole when you take a walk on the road between Sanctuary and Red Rocket truck stop.
read it and it shouldn't be too hard if you know your Fallout 4.
This Machine: You will find it in a Pre-War installation, just camp outside for a while and you will see that it's taken by Raiders!
