I see the M1a and M14 compared all the time, but what about the M1a and M1 Garand?
Besides the obvious, you know the way they are loaded, and cosmetic design changes that any non-expert could tell just by looking at them. Obviously theyre diffferent in caliber, but what about the reciever, gas system, trigger assembly and other parts that may be hidden or look very similar, how do they compare? I'm thinking a Garand is next on my purchase list and since I already have an M1A and I want to be able to tell people the true differences when I have them side by side.
Forgive me if this topic has been discussed already, I did a search but couldn't find any threads regarding this exactly, but maybe there are.
