    M1 Garand range day

    I got the old Garand out the other day at the local range and re-affirmed my pet load. Winchester brass, Winchester large primer, 155gr Hornady AMAX bullet and 48gr of H4895. COAL is 3.300"

    I usually fire 10 shot groups to get a real sense of accuracy. This is a typical group at 100 yards using the iron sights and 73 year old eyes. The rifle is a post WWII Springfield M1icon and bone stock with no effort to accurize. My best 10-shot groups are usually in the 2.5 - 3" range. This one is just over 3".

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

    Welcome to the forum...and I see you have one of our stretched barrels that are only found in Canadaicon on your carbine... I've had lots of them both and yes, they'll shoot great with reasonable care. This one's just fine.
    Regards, Jim
