I don't know if it's the trigger or the nostalgia feeling like actually swinging the hammer of Thor or Excalibur or something I get when shooting a Garand...not sure why it is, but no other milsurp rifle gives me near the thrill I get from that 8 rounds and especially that 8th round ping of superior firepower God Bless the USA awesomeness...Best thing about a Garand trigger...Whatever finger you have on it, is currently relatively safe from being smashed by the bolt.
