[Shooter 2.5]

The M1 Garand is a horrible choice for long range shooting. There are too many things to go wrong and for just plain mainteance. Hanging that gas cylinder out on the end of the barrel was corrected by the M14/M1A. I spent a huge amount of money trying to get a Garand to work and finally went with the M1A. After one season I switched to a Armalite Eagle AR and shot Master the first match I went to.

I son't understand the problem you and some others are having with the Garand. I've seen thousands of rounds put through them without problems.
