Sorry, but you need to take another look at the heels of your rifles.... The Garand is labeled, "US Rifle Cal 30 M1" The Carbine is labeled, "US Carbine Cal 30 M1" It's a distinction that makes the difference..... Best to all, Swampy Garands forever 2007 NRA Missouri State 600...

Used by Dane Navy then repat back to US. Best regards, Swampy Garands forever

Reamer, Question: What ammo are you shooting??? Best regards, Swampy Garands forever

Every time I shoot an NRA Highpower event I go through either 88 or 110 rounds of 7.62 Nato, depending on the course. No problems..... Best to all, Swampy Garands forever

The Greek COMMERCIAL Olympic brand may have a slow burning powder... probably does if the reports of report and muzzle flash are true. The Greek MILITARY HXP branded ammo is M2 spec and is OK for the M1 rifle. Best to all, swampy Garands forever

Upper, lower, middle.... whatever. If it's the part that has the weapons serial number it's considered to be a firearm in and unto itself and must be transferred by an FFL. Best to all, Swampy Garands forever

Q, The Greek ammo has a small percentage of ammo that is "bad", not because of age... but because of poor storage or breaks in the integrity of the sealed spam cans. Moisture gets in and causes corrosion. Any modern ammo will last almost indefinitely if it's stored properly. The M1 is a...

Yeah... I've seen those. Maybe true, but it's kinda' irrelevent, really. The main thing is that the Greek clips cause problems. Because of that I don't use them and don't recommend them. If the Greek clips were all we could get, then I'd say we have a problem that has to be dealt with, but...

thingster, Listen to the guys..... Don't taper it. If you do anyway, don't make it a point, leave it flat. If you do anyway, make sure you have another post. Advice from a guy who shoots ONLY a front post rifle. Best regards, Swampy Garands forever

parabolate, I own one M1A. Great rifle. Love it. Bought it in '99. Have shot maybe 1k rounds thruogh it. I bought my first M1 rifle in 2000. Took it to the range...... "Oh baby, where you been all my life". I now own several M1's ranging from Rack Grades to Correct Grades and two...

In the 50's, when the M1 rifle was first being made available to civilian competiton shooters, the techies at Springfield Armory (The REAL one.) passed down the following "M1 Gas System Safe Load Rules" to the NRA and CMP to pass on to the shooters. 1) NEVER shoot bullets HEAVIER than 180...

You are lucky.... as is one other guy I know, who has a very nice SA Blue Sky. Most of the Blue Sky M1's I've seen have been rode hard and put up wet..... several times. Total beaters. Count your blessings.... Best, swampy Garands forever

cuervo, I understand some people do fine with them...... Certainly NOT my experiences nor that of most of the guys I shoot with in the local CMP club. Any time a new guy has problems with an M1 not feeding the first thing I look for is the type of clip he's using. 90% of time, he's using...

Q, Recoil: Considerably less. The M1 is a pussycat. Ammo: Shoot only milsurp M2 or reloads made to M2 spec. No commercial ammo unless you install a ported lock screw that allows you to vent off excess gas port pressure. Just remember to do the tune in regimen EVERY time you switch...

Genesio1911 asks: ALL requirements still apply at the walk-in stores.... and you pay Michigan and Alabama sales tax, as opposed to shipping charges. Best regards, Swampy Garands forever

minuteman, If you are shooting from positions then I'd DEFINITELY get a scope with an angled eyepiece. You will regret it severely if you don't. Sorry, don't know about the Barska.... Will add that the Konus scopes are rapidly becoming the Silver Standard for Highpower shooters (Kowa...

DP..... Best regards, Swampy Garands forever

There is always "play" between the rod and cylinder. The rod is much smaller in diameter than the ID of the cylinder. What's important are the diameters of the piston and the front end of the cylinder. You can measure the piston with a micrometer. The cylinder requires a gauge to corrrectly...

taliv, Never seen a single event that was broken down to two days of shooting. Saturday is always fully involved with one event (Usually the "main" name event of the weekend.) and Sunday has another event entirely. The way it usually works at the ranges here in MO and KS is Saturday is an...

NRA's NM and Regional Across the Course events consist of 4 matches, one of which is 20 rounds at 600 yards. That is what you are describing. NRA Long Range (800-900-1k) and Mid-Range (600 or 500) events (At least here in Missouri.) consist of 4 matches, 20 rounds each, all on the belly at...
