I love my Garands. The only thing is that .30-06 surplus is drying up and I like to shoot. I have been thinking of rebarreling one in 7.62 X 51 Nato. You are aware that with your veteran status that you can buy up to 5 Garands a year from the Civilian Marksmanship Program simply by joining a CMP affiliated club (also listed on the site), aren't you?

I'm getting to the point where my eyes are deteriorating to the point I seldom shoot any more. I used to shoot combat Pistol at 100 yards. I'm down to 100 feet. I loved the Garand. The ammunition was bulky, but at 300 yards it was a gem. The Carbine was a good jungle rifle, maybe the best that ever existed, but few people were trained on it. I would prefer it's stock be an inch or so longer. Hit someone in the gut with it and it will blow their spine out.
