New to me U.S. Rifle Cal. 30 M1
I was always told every American man needs to own an M1 Garand. That's not very inclusive...maybe even discrimination. However, finally I got one too and I have to say, this thing is among the most fun to shoot.
Got one of the CMP expert, 30-06 H&R late receiver 5.8 million, new Criterion barrel and new wood. All other parts on the rifle are around 1942 - 1944. The wood was terrible looking, after lots of sanding and linseeding for 2-3 week I now made it my own and it turned out tremendously beautiful.
Made up some rounds w H4895, broke in the barrel for the first few trips and they hit. I could shoot steel w this thing all day long and have a zen moment. Group at 100 yards w my old eyes through the peep sight (pic of the group tilted, sorry).
