I got my M1 Garands out to the range today and was pleased with the results. I shot with both my 1943 SA CMP Service Grade and the 1955 SA Collector I picked up recently. I did best with the collector grade, which is basically like new and very tight. I've got two picture. I put up a law enforcement target out at 100 yards and concentrated on head shots and upper torso shots. Pretty pleased with results.
Then I put up a 9" diameter paper plate and shot a pretty tight group, a couple fliers, but for fifty year old eyes and first time with the Garand I was pretty pleased. I shot from the bench, holding it tight into my shoulder and resting the front on top of small bean bag put on top of a 30 cal ammo can.
Here are the results:
