Yeah i knew the Garande took 30-06. I guess we could look for an engraving on the barrel?

Oh well, research time. I could've done it by now. I ended up making myself late with this freakin forum haha.

Good day sir!
IF you are talking about theU.S. Cartbine, Caliber .30 M1, it shoots the .30 U.S. carbine cartridge, which is a rimless, straight-cased pistol-type cartridge holding a 110-grain full-jacketed .308 diameter roundnose bullet. MV is 1900 FPS. If you try to chamber a .30/'06 cartridge in a .30 Carbine, it will soon be obvious that the fit is a little tight!



THANKS TO STEVE RICCIARDELLI, http://stevespages.com/page8d.htm FOR THIS ILLUSTRATION.....
