I was looking at the official M1 Picture thread, I am amazed at what people can do with a Garand. From getting one to refinishing it. Makes my stuff look ho hum. ( even tho it aint)

Here's one someone did...

Looks like a fancy stock. It was one a CMP member had done.

I never take my .308 and my 30.06 to the range on the same day. I'm afraid I would do a shoot-off comparison and pick a favorite between the two. As it is, I like them both equally...I would hate to relegate either of them to second place status.

.308 shoots so nice in a Garand!

When you load the 06 to op road safe levels, it isn't too far off from .308. I think that is why .308 works so well.

If you boys that don't reload ever want in on all the research and techniques that I have done getting home rolled loads to shoot so well in Garands, case prep, priming-CCI, charging, and low run out bullet seating, powder selection- IMR 4064. I will be happy to give a tutorial if you get to Columbus. It is actually quite easy once you know how. A guide was published by the NRA in the 80's.

Question: What is the value of a shooter grade P-o8 Luger w import mark?

I'm thinking of buying it.

Luger P.08 9mm 1937 S/42 Nazi marked. Visible numbers match except number on slide next to hand written 56. Imported. Bore is good with some pitting - rifling good. Operates as it should.

I have a soft spot for Lugers...but have no idea what they are worth.
