The M1 Does My Talking
Do you guys shoot these Garands at all?
I realize it may reduce their value.
Thx.
Oh hell yes, Garands are the best shooters there are. Excellent iron sights, moderate recoil, and just a serious chunk of Hard Shooting American Iron.
The CMP organizes Garand and other Vintage matches which make for great, friendly, low key competition and camaraderie. Many clubs hold Vintage matches.
Garands in general, and especially CMP Service Grades are meant for shooting, not to be Safe Queens.
A very wise man once said:
"There is something special about the Garand: there is no other rifle quite like it. When you step up to the line with an M1 Garand, people will turn their heads and take notice. Strong men will respect you. Beautiful women will fall at your feet. The enemies of freedom will flee in dismay."
