Had a standard one. They are soooo sweet. Mine had one little quirk. At 100 yards it would drill 2 in the same hole but always throw the 3rd one an inch off at left and high. Still fantastic and would still shoot minute of cantelope at 500 yards.
ReplyDeleteThanks and seems like a good price for this one, but I'd rather have wood.
DeleteI used to be alergic to synthetic also. But in a battle rifle I feel synthetic is a necessary evil. But I sure cant argue with all the battle rifles with wood that survived the past wars.
ReplyDeleteYes, I just like wood. :) It's pretty!
DeleteI like the M-1A , But I hump the Garand because you can pack more ammo on an M-56 rig (120 for the M-14 V. 176 for the Garand) for the same weight. Add a 48 round bandoleer and 8 in the rifle = 232 rounds. More than most guys carry for the AR-15. Wood also adds mass, bulk and toughness that plastic can never match, a real plus in a "hand to hand " conflict. The Garand and the M-1A weigh little more than an AK or tricked out AR with twice the effective range and 5X the "knock down". ----Ray
ReplyDeleteI thought you had an AK also?
DeleteI do, and an AR-15 and a 1903Mk1 and an M-40A3 and more than a few "others". I consider my AKM to be a "carbine" . A superb brush gun and rugged as hell. I love it; BUT, my 1956 M-1 NM is still my "baby" and my "go to" if everything go's Tango Uniform. That was the last year(1956) that SA hand built the Garand as an "as issued" rifle for the NM . Differing from the standard issue Garand only in having hand selected and gauged parts and an air gauged NM barrel , no glass bedding. My Garand was sold to a shooter at Camp Perry, who then packed her away NIB and never took her out. After he died she was sold to a collector who kept her -UNFIRED- for 40 years. I bought her NIB -UNFIRED- for 1200 USD $$$ in 2008. She's not a virgin any more, and really loves 155 Sierra Palma match bullets @ 2700 FPS.--Ray P.S one of the curious things that I have learned is that the basic ammo load for a us solder hasn't changed in almost 120 years! in 1896 it was 200 rounds, in WW-1 it was 220 rounds, in WW-2 196 rounds in Korea and Vietnam it still hovered around 200 OFFICALLY and it still dose today. Although solders may carry more and sometimes do , the basic load hasn't officially changed after more than a century of near constant warfare.

DeleteWhat a deal.
