Get some of the CMP ammo with clips in bandoleers. That'll give you some clips to use going forward.

That's a nice looking M1. Still a lot of finish on that rifle.

mine is a Danish lend lease $495, never shot only dropped twice from the 50's. an older gent i know who is a major league garand queer.. he owns at last count 150+ and has several hundred K 30-06 cmp ammo stockpiled. and parts to build dozens more, anyway, he noticed it was a mixmaster with HR/ winchester parts etc. on a springfield receiver so he made it 100% springfield for me.

pretty good rifle for the money.

I heard CMP is now limiting how much greek you can buy, but its still a deal. so order as much as they will sell you.
