    Garand gas cylinder question.

    Can you guys get your op rods out with out removing the gas cylinder? All the books out there say remove the gas cylinder, and then remove the rod. Talk has it that removing the gas cylinder to much will loosen up the barrel splines over time losing accuracy. By the way I cant get my op rod...

The unique thing about it is that it has several factory routed places that might be points of contact...

    Stenciling on M1 Garand and Carbine stocks

    Since aqcuiring my first M1 Garand, I am already looking to buy a M1 Carbine. I have been doing a fair bit of research on these rifles and one thing that I see from time to time puzzles me, Why do some of these rifles have stencil marks on the buttstocks? It's usually numerical in yellow or...

Out of...

    The Garand, heavy bullets, and slow powders: Quest

    I am building up a Garand, 30-06, to shoot the 208 A-max and slow powders. Krieger is doing the barrel and I will be using a McCann gas system. My question is this: Does anyone know how big the gas port is for the 30-06 based rifles? We are going to install the next to lowest orifice size for...
