Went up to my In-Laws Farm this afternoon. Did a Super fast quick and dirty function test with a 1944 SA M1 Garand
This is the one I built last September. It's a wild rifle. Has a 6-66 SA Barrel and I finally peened the splines a month ago and got a lower band roll pin installed. Everything went well with the first clip. I loaded the second clip but then....THE TRIGGER ASSEMBLY FELL OUT WHILE FIRING. Luckily my father in law had a pair of large pliers and some electrical tape. We bent the trigger guard back in so it would lock up real tight. Problem Solved.
It shoots accurately and functioned well after the quick fix.
The rifles.
My Gear and ammo.
First 5 Shots from prone with sling and glove with my SC 1903A3. Shoots incredibly well. Love at first squeeze of the trigger.
My Second 4 Shots ever from sitting position with sling and glove....My Father in law took a single shot at another target hence the 4 shots...
So all in all..a good day. I learned some quick field armory skills with the M1 and am amazed at the accuracy and buttery feel of the 1903A3. What a rifle.
