m1_garand_wwii_d-day_F.jpg
655KB, 1000x665px
So I got a really nice springfield M1 Garand at a gunshow last week, and I've already burned through my meager supply of ammunition. I've looked around a bit, and this ammo
>http://ammunitionstore.com/products/30-06-ammo-145gr-fmj-wolf-military-classic-20-round-box.html
seems to be the best deal.

My question to you, /k/, is whether or not this is going to cycle and feed properly, or fuck up my extractor. I've been hesitant to buy steel case since I bought 400 rnds of herter's 223 and I shot about 15 rnds and they all jammed up.

Normally, I'd just buy one box and try it out, but they're having a sale for 11$ a box and I need to know whether or not to get a shitton or just hold off.

Advice? And I guess this makes it a QTDDTOT, so QTDDTOT?
>>
Google that shit and see what people have said. Or buy a box and see how it shoots.
>>
>>28030696
The sale they have ends soon m8, or that's what I'd do. Google has produced poor results
>>
This is like, someone buying a Corvette

and then wanting to know if they can cheap out and put 87 octane in it.

Personally, if I had the money for an m1 Garand, it would never touch filthy foreign ammo.
>>
and I would just deal with $1/ round.
>>
>>28030713
Garands aren't expensive guns, lad.
>>
>>28030723
1200 dollars for a import marked one in average condition isn't very cheap
>>
>>28030723

OP here, got my Garand for $650 at the gunshow last weekend. '44 receiver and whole back end, really sexy wartime oak stock, and a '66 barrel. Spent money I don't even have
>>
>>28030705
Oops sorry I can't into reading comprehension. I probably wouldn't put steel through it, but that's just me.
>>
>>28030734
It isn't expensive either, basic AR with an Aimpoint also costs about $1200.
>>28030741
I'm not rich by any mean, but barring PTRs and Veprs there aren't really any cheaper battle rifles. Especially these days when everything gun related will cost you arm and a leg.
>>
>>28030761
Well, that's what I'm asking about. You're saying it'll fuck my gun up? I love this thing as if it were my own child

I wouldn't do it if the barrel was original. But you said its a 66 so the collector value is somewhat diminished already. The oak stock is somewhat questionable too

Wolf is actually one of the better steel case ammo, bear being the top for non-brass cases.
Steel cases wont fuck up your chamber, no matter how much fuddlore you hear on the internet. It wont be as accurate as american ammo but for plinking who guves a shit.
>>
>>28030853
The bi metal jacket is the issue here. The garand is also very sensitive to ammo and you could potential fuck it up pretty bad by using cheap ammo with poor qc
>>
>>28030776
you'll likely fuck it up.

This is the best garand food I've found

http://www.midwayusa.com/product/2503127970/prvi-partizan-ammunition-30-06-springfield-m1-garand-150-grain-full-metal-jacket


>much safer on virgin action (even better with the garand gear plug, don't fuck with that adjustable schuster nonsense)
>pretty cheap, especially since you don't have to buy moldy boxes of surplus that are iffy at best
>pretty low recoiling without buying fancy low recoil ammo
>also god tier for 1903s with original stocks
>PPU is good shit
>PPU brass is good shit, if that's your thing
>>
>>28030836
My bad. Should've checked the catalog.
>>28030819
So, after reading that, I'll just bite the bullet (pun) and get that Herter's brass case
>>
>>28030905
Herter's is specifically the one he tested though and the rifling would dig into the steel jacket?

Look into reloading. A single stage RCBS press and some dies can be found next to free if you go used. If you're not reloading hundreds or thousands at a time the single stage will be just what you need.

What is the WORST AR15 16" bareel profile? I'm thinking Carbine length gas with HBAR or SOCOM

well done.

It's not bi-metal. It's their brass cased breddy gud stuff. Unless I'm terribly wrong?

What is the best place to buy an HK USC and what is the best place to buy a conversion kit to make it a UMP?

>>28030963
HBARs are pretty fuckin great, from my experience. They don't flex too much, and they'll make the rifle feel a little sturdier
>>
>>28031040
They're fine if you plan on holding it sideways and if you want to look like a nigger

Pretty much what this guy said

Get that Garand Gear gas plug
I only shoot surplus American, Greek or Korean ammo that was made for the M1 or I shoot new production American or Hornady ammo designed for the M1.

AR-15 in .300 Blackout or AR-10 in whatever caliber you want. You just need to get 5 round mags to be legal (assuming that semi-autos are legal in your state).

If they aren't, get a .300 Blackout or .308 Troy Pump Action Rifle:

Does an alternate rim stack or a staircase stack work better on lee-enfields?

The official alternating stack seems like it would get rimlock on the first and third rounds and yet doesn't, how does that work?

Okay, that makes more sense. I was planning on just buying M2 from the CMP once my garand gets here, can't find it cheaper.

how is it held on there?

I'm trying to decide what .22LR I want, and I've narrowed it down to the Ruger Mk 3 and the Ruger 10/22. I figure that I'll own both eventually, but I can't decide whether I want a rifle or a pistol first. I don't compete, so I'm purely buying this for cheap plinking.

If I had to force myself to choose my preference when it comes to pistols or rifles, pistols would win by a fraction of a hair. If it matters, I own 3 rifles (5.45, 5.56, .308) and 2 pistols (9mm, .45 ACP).

What does /k/ think? Do you prefer shooting .22 out of a pistol or a rifle?
