What companies make AR-10 magazines for the military though? And are the Korean M-14/M1A magazines any good?

Seeing as I'm researching .308/7.62 semi auto rifles, I figure I should find out what brand magazines are the best for a couple different rifles. My options that are on the table are a National Match/Super Match M1A, DSArms FAL, PTR-91 or an AR-10 type rifle set up in a sniper/tactical style...

Which AR-10 style rifle would/have you bought and what are/were the reasons behind your choice? (I'm doing that research for future purchase thing again ;))

Hornady is coming out with a 'varmint' round in this caliber. It's loaded with the V-Max I believe. Not sure how accurate it is or could be but I've read a couple articles on it and it seems to be a better than average defense round.

On a similar note, I know reloading surplus brass is tougher than commercial brass and that it doesn't usually last as long. Seeing as a 1903 is towards the top of my to buy list, would the surplus brass originally fired from a Garand and full length resized before being reloaded, last...

It's a lot nicer than what they did in India with their .308 SMLE. They just painted them with black paint. Lol.

I think I like that Greek refinish on there. Not exactly original Garand looking but nice nonetheless.

Well, I got a call saying I got the job I interviewed for three weeks ago. Which will make getting to Ohio a lot easier. I'll just have to make sure I bring someone familiar with Garands to make sure I don't get a piece of crap.

It wasn't a problem normally. The clip would go in just fine and the bolt would stay put until you slapped it forward. If you pulled the bolt handle back just after inserting the clip, it would pop out. Only reason I found out it did that was because I was in the habit of pulling the bolt...

What's funny is that the Garand I shot in August didn't do anything that resembled the cause of Garand thumb. Starting with the bolt back, I put a loaded 8 round clip in and had to push the handle forward to get the bolt to close. Also, in everything I've seen and read, to get a loaded clip...

That's already a problem for me and I don't even own one yet. I want a basic range mule for 'plinking', I want a totally restored one that looks original and I want one to see how accurate I can make it without spending tons of cash on it. That last one will end up being done a little at a time.

Considering the closest thing to being a veteran (other than most of my family having been in) would be my two years in AFJROTC in high school. And as for being a senior citizen? I don't think I qualify as I just turned 26 on Monday ;) As long as the topic is Garands, it's not a problem...

Well not so much catch it as in stop it and hold it but stop its forward momentum so it drops down to some sort of bucket. Like the batting cage nets. Same basic principle, different projectile to stop.

If my truck would make that drive, I'd be up at the buttcrack of dawn and on the road to go pick one up. But my vehicle situation keeps me from doing that so I'll have to order one and make the drive out there with the next Garand or maybe an M1 Carbine.

I just sent in my membership dues for the Garand Collectors Association. It'll be a couple weeks before I can order my Garand so that should be taken care of by then. The age and citizenship part isn't an issue at all and I have my LTCF so there's my final requirement taken care of. The...

Not yet. It's looking like the next time I'll be going to the range won't be for at least 3 weeks though. If I can get something put together I'll bring it and I'll post up a report with pics.

I'm looking into buying a Garand from CMP in the near future. I decided on the Service Grade and was wondering if there was any quality difference between the Springfield Armory models and the Harrington & Richardson models. Prices are the same but I want to know if there's any overall...

A few months ago I was told, and verified on the site, that wait times for rifles from the CMP were taking several months. Some people even mentioned waiting for 4 or 5 months to get their rifles. Well, I checked the site recently and it says delivery times are "up to 60 days". Does anyone...

Well it looks like I'll be ordering a Garand in the near future. Good thing I've been researching reloading component prices. :)

The 1917 Water Cooled Browning was designed during WW1 for trench fighting as a sustained fire weapon. Much like the other water cooled machine guns of that war like the Maxim and the Vickers. It was mounted on a much heavier T&E (traverse and elevation) tripod. The gun was mounted and...
