elmacgyver0 - I
ALMOST didn't bid for my .308 WIN M1 Garand on Gunbroker.
I saw it and thought it was not Kosher, not being 30-06 calibre, but since the other auctions
being offered were not looking that good, the winning prices for 30-06 were always too high
for me...
AND....my
feverish HOTS lusting for an M1 Garand....I went for the .308 M1 !
I did my homework on the M1 having been re-chambered for .308 for the Navy, before I went for it.....(links at end)
I am glad I got it ! Been very HAPPY with it ! Such a nice shooter.
At the range, shooting with my son, with him shooting
Factory Ammo in a US
M1917 Enfield 30-06 that I
gave him many years ago,.......I watched him getting his shoulder beat up with nasty recoil.
I'm glad I chose reduced recoil reloads, also.
Our range is suffering from Local Rules on Fire Prevention (some jerk shot tracers several years ago in
a hot dry month and started a big wildfire there resulting in more restrictive county rules and Range re-construction)
and Club Insurance costs are going higher. The careless, stupid people are going to ruin it for everyone else.
