    Diopter focus/eye relief questions

That nut is on there pretty good and I couldn't get it off, but I also noticed that the new backplate is for an...

    m1 garand: from cmp or other purchase?

    hey guys and gals! so I was at the gun show on Sunday, where I saw a good bit of m-1s for around 800 to 1000 bucks. I don't know what the quality was, nor do I possess the knowledge to properly gauge m1 quality, however, it made me think. I always figured I'd get my m1 from the cmp. It just...
