28 June 2024 Garand Picture of the Day

IIRC, the figures show they were a lot less accurate than a standard M1... it's not a knock on the great BAR, it's a compliment to Garand's masterpiece.

I suppose a rifle SHOULD be more accurate. I liked the stability and ease which you could engage targets at distance. A slam fire can hardly group as well as a closed bolt I think, even on singles.
