[Mustang]

Awesome target for first time out. Great deal you got.

Congrats great score!

Thanks, guys!

I'm going to try some handloads as soon as I can.

The dark stocks on the rebuilds are sometimes iodine stained birch. I have one from my original DCM M1 and 1 from my CMP Select. Rub it down with 0000 steel wool and take it out and look at it in the sunlight. My H&R has fantastic grain for a birch stock.

That is a fine looking Garand, Dieppe

Got out to the 200 yard range at Sac Valley and shot the "O-66" Garand.

@200y, Hornady 168gr Garand match ammo, group 2.75", just under 1.5 MOA.

Thanks, mj.

Trying to get my ducks in a row for an upcoming semi auto military rifle silhouette match.

Well...

You got yourself a fine shooter.


Got a VAR Dane Service Grade from the CMP, LotD, in the same condition - as new rebuilt.

Cherish/Grease/Shoot the piss out of it.

(Would ask what you paid for it... but I won't)


EDIT:

Don't forget to post some pics over at the CMP Forums The Official M1 picture thread...

Break some hearts.

Thanks, GR! Those VAR Danes are reputed to be first class rifles. Great that you got one.

Post some pics of it when you get a chance.

All I seem to have handy is my 5.8M "Shooter".


Service Grade Springfield/ LEAD-'69 Arsenal Rebuild from the Greek returns, and it must have been rebuilt by Stradivarius.

Assume original 1-'55 Bbl with a 0.5/1.5 bore, like new original finish, it sits in an old sappy-sweet Springfield stock that weighs a ton, and boy does it shoot. Trigger like a two-stage icicle.
