Lol...

Surely you have some pics of this rifle nearly destroyed by one round of 220gr "moose ammo"?
Great story however... just not really believable.

PS what brand of 220gr was this?

Gee I didn't realize I had to photo document the situation solely to please you. I have no reason, desire nor time to make up stories.

No I don't remember the brand of ammo off hand from 5 years ago however I do remember it wasn't a familiar brand box.

My friend brought his rifle to a gunsmith because it was completely jammed and he isn't particularly mechanical. I wasn't there or involved in any way other than addressing the ammo he handed me and relaying the story I was told.

I don't know you and haven't had any interaction with you before but believe me when I say I truly don't give a damn what you believe. I certainty hope this is our last encounter.

Ok just checking.

So other than him handing you 19 rounds of ammo this is simply "my buddy told so".


The fact is SAAMI spec commercial ammo is perfectly fine in garands that are in proper working order.

220gr ammo such as rem core lokts generate less pressure than many milsurp loads.

Commercial ammo isn't the problem the Internet makes it out to be.

Good oprod spring and properly greased and you won't have issues with SAAMI spec ammo.

The garand gas system is rather forgiving.
