Have your M1 converted to 7.62 NATO/.308 Win -—— easier shooting, cheaper ammo, and same results as the .30-06 at the far end!

No way. Reasons:

o Is as originally issued in Feb 1943
o Reissued to me from Aniston
o Not rebuilt from parts
o No rust, no observable wear, no pitting of any metal surface o Though throat somewhat eroded, still accurate
o I could have rebarrelled it, but choose to keep it as original
o Not shooting it for competition
o Have my own dies
o No lack of brass
o No lack of suitable powder
o If I want 7.62, I can still buy M1A for large detachable mag
