I'm excited about the new Garand purchase and can't wait to shoot it. The CMP documentation urges you to go to a gunsmith and have it checked out.
Makes sense for a 60 year old rifle.
Problem is that Fulton is quoting 8 weeks to service it and I'm unsure who else I can get it to locally in MD.
I feel pretty confident that I can disassemble, clean and reassemble the rifle with no difficulty.
Question is, has anyone NOT taken their Garand to a 'smith before shooting it?
Or.....does anyone know a good Garand expert in MD?
