M1 Garand

I'd love to have an M1 Garand. I used one in military school and got pretty good with it.
I do have an M1A which is, of course, a semi-auto-only copy of the M14. That's what I used in Basic Training and a few range trips while in the Army.

This is a 1941 built M1 Garand with a 6 digit Springfield Armory serial number and a new stock...
The muzzle is still pristine as the pic belows shows....
I dont have the photo of the chamber but its pristine also....

Yes....The M1 makes a nice deer rifle for sure..... 
Notice in the pic of him shootin...You can see the empty clip and round being ejected...
Those 100 yard targets down range look very small to my old eyes.....

Re: M1 Garand
Nothing wrong with open sights on a rifle. More people need to learn how to use them.
For muzzle loading shooting the National Muzzle Loading Rifle Association only allows metallic sites.

Very definitely yes, sniper caliber for sure! I couldn't see the target at that distance, let alone hit it within a quarter size!!

Since it is hard to see that far he squares up the entire target in the sights...
If you square it up the same way every shot you will get great accuracy....
The front sight on the Garand is flared which makes it easier to center targets on....
His group was to the right of the bull about 4-5 inches from dead center....
This was his best 3 shot group of the day......
PS....He turned down sniper school.....

Just missed one. My wife's uncle had one. We went down to San Antonio to visit in hopes I could wrangle it from him while there. Found out a week or so earlier he had used in on a trade for a 40 cal. Glock.
This weeks "American Guns" show restored one. It turned out really sweet. The guy said his Grandfather use one in WWII and he had one restored with his Grandfathers name DOB and the date he died on it. Great tribute piece.
