You can open up the gas system though.

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

so just shoot it new in a bolt

reload it for a semi

Huh

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

depends on the powder i am using

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

may not be perfect but it works for me

Does it feel right?

it cycles and i rarely shoot it so meh

mainly the long guns i shoot are ar's

not a fan of heavy recoiling rifles

would rather do barn burners in pistols

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

you can convert them to .308 or such

but as a collector i wouldn't do that

too easy to custom build an ar

That has the good shit

M2 ball is fucking weird

meh

a lot of rounds do weird stuff

Yeah, it's weird on the level that it was designed to be ballistically inefficient, to a degree.

not sure about .30-06 on that

but intermediate cartridges sure get funky

They mention it at 2:09 in the vid

Bureaucracy and all that

i'm going to pass on the cvid

i know more about modern rounds

No worries, just want you to have all the options

if i load old stuff it's just for fun

trying to find some m955a1 pulls though

m855a1*

things are stupid pricey though

Yeah, they're an odd round

also questionably legal

I'm not too sure how I feel about composite rounds like that

you can buy and own

You mean for civilain use?

for sellers
