>wanna m1 garand for "muh arsenal of democracy"
>don't wanna deal with 30-06
>get m1a instead
did i fuck up?
>>29396266
Yes.
1. SA is mediocre
2. CMP .308 Garands are available for less
>>29396266
Seeing as how they make Garands in 7.62 NATO you did kind of defeat your own purpose
>>29396266
Why didn't you just change the gas block from a CMP Garand so you could shoot modern 30-06?
>>29396284
all of the CMP garands available now are in fair/poor condition and not worth the hoops you have to jump through.
>>29396266
Yes, you could have gotten a Fulton Armory .308 Garand
>>29396299
No, you're just a moron. Special grade .308s are available right now and they're cheaper than a standard M1A on top of it, and nothing has changed to acquire a rifle from the CMP.
Again, you're just mentally deficient, but enjoy your monkey manufactured in Brazil and assembled in America rifle.

>Dont want to deal with 30-06
>so he buys a 308 instead
Nigger why? OH MY GOD 30-06 IS A DOLLAR A BOX MORE ITS THE END OF THE WORLD
>>29396266
No, M1A/M14 is a literal upgrade to the M1 Garand.
>inb4 b-but full auto didn't w-work
UPGRADE, not redesign, an M1 Garand would suck in full auto too. At least you had the option with the M14.
>>29396266
you now own a great american battle rifle
you did fine
>>29396266
How much does yours weigh?
>>29396299
>hoops
birth certificate or passport, carry permit, membership in Garand Collectors Association. make notarized copies and mail it all off with the order form and check to CMP; or drive to the CMP stores with the originals.
whew those are some hoops.
Guess you'll just have to go and buy a Garand for twice the CMP price, from a guy that buys his 12 a year from CMP and flips them.
>>29396266
Could have gone with the BMG-59 or convert it
>pot metal
>>29396356
CMP still has a lot of foreign mil surp ammo.
which is perfectly fine to use. as long as you keep it clean and oiled.
Could have gotten an FNAR and used the leftover mons for ammo
Just by a Garand sometime later. I own a Garand and I love it and someday I may pick up a m1a too.
