Per the title, I just acquired an M1 Garand that has been rebarreled to .308 Win. When I say "rebarreled", the description does not include that word. It says "mfg by Springfield Armory in April, 1942 with Criterion 5-18 .308 barrel".
My first question is: Can I use information in the BruceB thread concerning the M1A? If not, any information about reloading for this rifle would be appreciated. The description also includes a note that the "magazine has plastic insert to allow for either 7.62 NATO or .308 Winchester ammo to be used". This confused my because I could not understand why the use of either would involve the magazine. Does this mean that enbloc clips can or cannot be used?
I haven't really sat down and examined the rifle or compared it to the other Garand that I have had for a few years. I haven't done any reloading for the .30-06 Garand yet but don't expect the .308 to not have unique requirements.
Any insights would be helpful and appreciated.
