RE: M1 Garand & Surplus ammo

Sure its not that hard. Most have decent barrels and if you simply have the gun bedded and the forward forearm bedded and floated you are well on your way. Then load some ammo up.
Rack grade as they come they are usually loose and surplus ammo -- at least the projectiles, suck.
So its pretty easy to get way better.. But just be aware that straight away and with junk ammo its not likely.
i've got 2 garands that all I did was bed them and they'll shoot LC ball ammo to about 4 inches at 200 yards. Before that they were lucky to get to a 10 inch group at 200.
I am not trying to disuade anyone. Yet I don't want them thinkign they bought a 500 buck junker. It just takes another 50 bucks or so to bed.
