2018-03-14 02:36:28 UTC  

Mmmm swashtickers

2018-03-14 02:36:30 UTC  

some guns i shoot, some i don't

2018-03-14 02:36:38 UTC  

Yeah, some are just too nice to use

2018-03-14 02:36:42 UTC  

depends on ammunition, condition, etc

2018-03-14 02:36:57 UTC  

some stuff i have to do special loading for

2018-03-14 02:37:08 UTC  

Thank god for Privi Partisan

2018-03-14 02:37:30 UTC  

meh

2018-03-14 02:37:31 UTC  

sometimes

2018-03-14 02:37:33 UTC  

i handload

2018-03-14 02:37:46 UTC  

stuff like a garand you can't get proper .30-06 for

2018-03-14 02:37:55 UTC  

modern loads fuck the guide rod

2018-03-14 02:38:20 UTC  

Yeah, they work it way too hard

2018-03-14 02:38:32 UTC  

You can open up the gas system though.

2018-03-14 02:38:39 UTC  

got a 1903 that was made during ww2 that handles modern loads fine though

2018-03-14 02:38:49 UTC  

so just shoot it new in a bolt

2018-03-14 02:38:53 UTC  

reload it for a semi

2018-03-14 02:39:01 UTC  

Huh

2018-03-14 02:39:16 UTC  

What do you reload it to for the garand, WWII spec?

2018-03-14 02:39:27 UTC  

depends on the powder i am using

2018-03-14 02:39:43 UTC  

just figure maybe .3-.5 lower than min spec in a manual

2018-03-14 02:40:15 UTC  

may not be perfect but it works for me

2018-03-14 02:40:28 UTC  

Does it feel right?

2018-03-14 02:40:37 UTC  

it cycles and i rarely shoot it so meh

2018-03-14 02:41:05 UTC  

mainly the long guns i shoot are ar's

2018-03-14 02:41:18 UTC  

not a fan of heavy recoiling rifles

2018-03-14 02:41:29 UTC  

would rather do barn burners in pistols

2018-03-14 02:41:55 UTC  

I heard somewhere that you can open up the gas system on the Garand using some aftermarket parts and run modern ammo fine

2018-03-14 02:42:12 UTC  

you can convert them to .308 or such

2018-03-14 02:42:21 UTC  

but as a collector i wouldn't do that

2018-03-14 02:42:27 UTC  

too easy to custom build an ar

2018-03-14 02:42:30 UTC  

That has the good shit
