And….. the Garands are GREAT shooting rifles as well. I live in Europe, and really like the Italian made Garands that were made for Denmark. I may have the details confused, but the Winchester and Springfield machinery went to the Berretta and Breda companies, and went back into production. When the donated rifles the US gave Denmark started wearing out, they contracted with these Italian companies to manufacture new ones. Those are real nice and like new when you can find one.
I’m still waiting for the swiss made Sig210 pistols to hit the market, the Danish military recently changed to the Glock for some idiotic reason, and these Swiss pistols will be a real gem to find.
Everyone should own at least one Garand! I enjoy shooting the 400 meter pop-up targets at our range in Baumholder Germany with my iron sighted Garand, while others are bragging about hitting the same target with their scoped Sako TRGs.
Didn’t South Korea have a bunch of m1,s they wanted to sell and President Obama said no? Sad these rifles are priced so high.
The Fulton “tanker” Garand may be OK, but many such conversions done by others are haphazard at best, and Tankers are known to wear out op rod springs much faster than a full sized rifle. Also the muzzle blast on these contraptions in 30-06 is quite loud and the recoil much harder. If a short 30-cal rifle is desired, it might be best to look at one of the 308/7.62 NATO AR-10-ish or PTR rifles instead.
