    Midmichigun, yeah they may be as dead as the real thing! And yes, my windage is left about 5-6 clicks at 100 yds so there appears to be a problem, but I won't monkey with it. I just wanted to make sure that it would safely shoot, which it did. Now it goes into the back of the safe to wait.

    pastprime, I was using CMPicon's Greek HXP years 70 and 72. The 72 was ejecting a little erratically out of the Garandicon so I switched to 70 and thigs seemed t0 even out. As I remember HXP is about $90-100 for 192 rounds in enbloc clips. Best of luck on your project. There is life for 03's after drill rifle service!!

    So now I just have to resist the urge to play and remember that this is an investment piece and not shoot it anymore. Right.
