IH1989,
Are you currently serving?
Just curious as I wonder because of your location being listed as Norfolk.
We here @ Milsurps have a soft spot for our Vets.........

If so We Thank You, If I'm wrong... uuugghhh just forget this reply...
Hang in there you'll find a used USGI Barrel.
I'll try to get some pictures of my S'G' Blue Sky with a Buffalo Arms Barrel swallowing a M2 round to the brass case tomorrow.
I'll show the swallowed to brass casing and targets from this past Monday mornings session at my local Rifle Club. Targets were first set up at 25 yrds, to set rear sight and to figure out a point of aim. Will also show my targets from 50 yrds.
Stay tuned as
I'll start a new topic. You (may) be surprised as to how decent a pattern you can get with good reloads. I'm no Champion shooter and maybe should have drank a little less coffee before I went, but was happy with the results with the ole beater.
Regards
