Garand For Shooting/Reenacting

[M1 Rifleman]

The "Hollywood" style of Blank Adapter I've found to be very pricey. Usually average about $35.00, to $50.00, and mostly available on eBay. I bought a regular Blank Adapter for about $10.00, several years ago and works quite well. The Standard BA "sticks out" a few inches farther, but in the long run, who'll really notice.

With the tube type BFA you have to take some precautions not to damage the barrel treads. I'm on a Marine Corps League Honor Guard and we do quite a few burials and the Hollywood type work out much better for us. They go on and off and you don't have to sorry about ruining the threads. With the tube type we have had to replace two barrels due to over tightening and loose adapters. If your going from shooting live ammo to firing blanks on some kind of regular bases I would go with the Hollywood style.
