I've decided to order a CMP Garand.
I'd like to start aquiring necessary accessories and equipment for it.
What items should I get now? Are all Garand clips the same? Or are there "good" ones and "bad" ones?
What kind of ammo is a good deal right now. I've seen some Korean but have heard it is corrosive. What about Danish ammo? I would like to get a small quantity to start out with that is reloadable.
I'm prepared to purchase a new stock if necessary. Boyd's seems to have a good deal. Is there anything wrong with their stocks? What other options are there? Would it be taboo to completely sand down the original stock if it is in really bad shape as it is with many collectable rifles? If the parkerizing is is bad shape, would it hurt to get all the metal refinished?
Any other suggestions?
