Hello everybody,
I have some questions regarding the m1 garand, and i know there is a wealth of knowledge and experience among members here on THR. I'm looking for an all-purpose rifle, something that i can take to the range and go hunting with, in your opinion, do you think the garand is a good choice? It strikes me as a fine rifle, but I haven't seen it too much in the field. Is there a specific reason for that?
Also I have read that m1 garands will not take modern loads of 30-06 unless they are modified (something about the gas block or piston?). Is there a modification that can be done so one could safely use modern 30-06 loads? Is this considered Garand Blasphemy for changing its original format?
Thanks, and any advice or experience regard these fine rifles is much appreciated
