Service Grade garand report

[Calfed]

A few years back I got a service Grade Garand from the CMP. I haven't shot it much, but last weekend my younger son came up for the weekend and we got a chance for a trip to the range. Took some rifles that I haven't shot much...couple of GI M1 carbines, the SG Garand and a few C&R semi's...a Remington 81 and a Winchester .351 SL.

We had a bit of trouble sighting in the Garand...finally found that the front sight was loose and sliding around on the reverse dovetail.

Here are some pics of the SG Garand...

We shot some of the PPU "Garand -safe" ammo and some Hornady 150 gr CMP "range ammo"



The SG seemed to like the Hornady ammo a little better. My son (who is a better shot than I), shot this 100 yard group with the PPU



I shot this 100 yard group with the Hornady ammo.
