Shooting the M1 Garand

[Gil Martin]

The local gunsmith rebarreled an M1 Garand for a fellow who wanted a classic rifle from WWII like his father carried in Europe. The guy was an ex-policeman and is now a salesman working in New York City. He needed some instruction and I spent a few hours this afternoon helping him get his rifle sighted in. The fellow was an avid student and shot very well with military CMP ball ammo. He has agreed to shoot his M1 Garand next weekend in our first National Match Course event. I like it when a story has a happy ending. We need to recruit more like-minded folks into the shooting and collecting arena with us. All the best...
