Fun match. been up there myself. Take the garand if you please, but every time I've been up there, the guys finishing at the top of the list are shooting 03's
If it is really a John C. Garand course, you can only fire a Garand for trophy. And it has to be a pretty stock Garand, no National Match mods.
Of course, a local match may allow anything and everything.
No problems there, it is completely as issued...no NM or other mods of any kind
