Market Outlook: M1 Garand Collectibility Over the Next Decade

What do you mean modern ammo? If I may be forgiven for saying, the safety is only used to let the trigger assy release from the action.

I've been told by someone in the know that you can't shoot modern ammo in a Garand because it can bent the guide rod in it. Something that effect. In a hunting situation, that safety makes too much noise for me

You can pick up a gas buster plug for $50 or so and dial it in to shoot modern 30-06.

Feeling it was my duty to free as many from the Govt as possible I had as many as 15 M1s when the CMP first started selling them @$500 for a service grade buying the max each year for the first six or so. I had requested a 5 digit, and a 6 digit, 2-6mil SNs, I requested all makers, I got some real interesting guns. Most of the ho-hum Springfields have been sold off. I still have one of each maker and several I rebarreled in .308 (which is a God send) and several match prepped which get shot at a couple matches a year.

In this day and age all gun shows are a joke. If you were able to go to an Eastman's at Elco or Knob Creek Ky show back in the 90s you know what a real gun show is.

Those shows are all a joke compared to the Fall Tulsa show. That's my benchmark

Its just a SAMMI bolt gun load, with ammo prices the way they are you'd go broke trying to break it.
