Last year I bought a M1 Garand from the CMP (my 2nd). I had it quite a while before I was able to take it out to the range, when I did, I found it to be shooting extremely low (10-12 inches @50yds). I took the rifle home and disassembled it again to make sure I had not made any type of mistake when I placed it back in the stock. It fits into the stock very, very tightly and I thought this could be the problem. So over the winter I have been slowly sanding away a minute bit at a time on the handguards and buttstock. I took to the range 2 more times and it was still shooting very low, with little or no change from before. So this morning I got up and exchanged the entire stock from my other Garand (great shooter) to my problem child and took it back to the range.
Well, STILL SHOOTING VERY LOW :banghead:. Now I'm almost scared of what the possible causes could be. The shots seem to group ok, just very low.
Do you think there would be any sense in contacting the CMP. The rifle has shot like this since I recieved it.
Anyone have any other suggestions I could try? Do they make lower front sight posts for the M1?
BTW-Ammo was greek HXP from the CMP.
Any thoughts
