There, we now have yet another thread on the same thing...
Which means a moderator should evaluate and pick the best answer(s) in our Forum database and make a sticky for all who have this very common question/concern. CC
The problem is one of principle versus pragmatism: Technically, one should only run mil-spec ammo in a Garand due to the timing of the burn of its propellant and its effect on the semi-auto feed system. However, many people have found work-arounds via adjustable gas plugs. It is a classic risk vs.benefit analysis and as a result, the answer isn't clear-cut as we might like. Add to that the fact that newbies often ask this question as their first act in the door and the fact that we desire to welcome these new members, and then factor in the legal ramifications of the forum management taking a stand on a topic that boils down to a safety issue, and your forum management would rather allow discussion than take a formal stance.Quote:
