Having my first M1icon Garand I have been looking and a lot of information and of course parts and such. I have what I am sure dumb questions but I'm hoping someone can't give me a curiosity fix;

1. How much shorter is a 7.62x54 stock then the 30-06 and is there a way to tell which is which without measuring?

2. I see Danishicon and Korean stocks online, what makes these different than US stocks?

3. I'm sure many of you shoot and have shot NRA/CMPicon Highpower and Palma with the M1 Garand. I have shot other rifles using both and have always favored the M1907 so I guess having never shot NRA/CMP Highpower and Palma I have to wonder. Did you have a sling preference between the M1907 leather and web slings?

4. Shooting NRA/CMP Highpower and Palma: I know it's speculative but, I have a good amount surplus 1976 M2 Ball is this sufficient for these matches, or should I go with Match Ammo? I could reload, but I'm not sure if I want to for this rifle like I do my bolt action rifles at least not at first.

Thanks,

Bill
