    Wishing for a manual repeater in .308 using Garand enbloc clips...

    I know it's weird.

    But, it would be cool.

    ... remove the op rod
    Given that 10-shots are a group and 5-shots may be a favorable trend ... know that just one good 3-shot group can make you an instant internet superstar!

    Did any countries ever issue a Mannlicher in 7.92x57? If so, that would be well on the way to what you want.

    Oh yeah ... DUH ... says the guy that owns a Garand, haha! Thanks for correcting my mistake ...

    But I did once remove the piston in the upper handguard from an SKS, that can be safely removed to allow the rifle to function as a straight pull bolt action.

    If the gas plug has a poppet, you can remove it to vent all the gas and use the Garand as a manual repeater.
