A few Garand questions.....

[RUTGERS95]

I so regret selling mine. I got it about the same time all the Greek ammo was coming in. At that time I also managed to score a few thousand rounds of the Greek surplus 30-06 for pennies. Sold it all soon after in one of my minimalist phases

Another gun in the Book of Tears.

Yeah, I scored two cans of that Greek stuff on clips.

I am going to take the 03 out to the range next weekend. Hopefully the new regime will allow 100+ year old bolt action rifles in California. My brother has been casting covetous glances at it, I'll likely loan it to him, and keep the Garand here.

If I ever get the bug to minimize my guns to a rifle and a pistol, I’m going to put find a way to mount an AP Micro and SureFire on my Garand. I believe Ultimak makes a railed replacement upper handguard that would work.

I know someone in California that did exactly that on an M1 carbine, and uses it very well.

I should probably be banned for even posting this, being sacrilegious and all, but here goes:

I had seen those before, and wondered about how heavy there were. I know guys got issued the Sage stocks for M-14 sniper rifles at the beginning of OIF - you know anybody that used one?

And a big part of me wants to get a period-correct bayonet for each rifle. I know I'll never use it for anything, but it just "feels right".

While I didn't hump it up and down mountains in Afghanistan, I did have a Sage for one of my M-14 clones a number of years ago. Made it feel like a crew-served weapon! Was like $600 about 15 years ago too. Nah, you can have it.

The "tactical" Garand stocks remind me of those "tactical" lever gun setups: atrocious.

What was it Jeff Cooper said?

"An elegant solution to a non-existent problem."

[MountainRaven]

There's nothing elegant about a Sage EBR chassis.

I didn't know that they made one for SKS and am disappointed to discover that it is not compatible with the bayonet.

Heres another less obtrusive option :
