    I wouldn't sweat the clip thing. I was having clip feeding problems and one of the members here, NuJudge, sent me a couple of dozen known good ones. Clips are no problem. The Danishicon guns shoot well, but are not GI. There are a few people that rebuilds Garands and guarantee them but you're going to pay more than 600. I bought a gun from The Garandguy and the gun had an elusive cycling problem. Tony fixed it though right away. Stu

    Hi Stu,

    When you bought your Garand from Garandguy did you visit the store or order online. I'm going to the store next week trying to find an M1icon for myself. Any recommendations?

    Thanks,

    John
