I guess I just don't GET IT.
When I first got ahold of my American Legion M-1's about 10 years ago, they were total PIECE OF SHEITES. But it was mainly from neglect, never being cleaned, various SMALL PARTS not being replaced, and not Greased properly. Yes, I said GREASED. Here in the South, we use Gun Grease. I have a bunch of those small Garand Pods that I use.
Today, they are in such good shape that there is one that seemed to not have been fired with blanks as much. The bore took a good cleaning, and came out nice. It didn't have a BFA on it so, in order to keep the GasCyl and front handguard on, I put on a GasCyl Lock (out of my "stash"). Then I took it to the range.
Firing it at 100 yds, it did fine, not MOA, but good enough for "Gubmit Work". I wouldn't hesitate to use it in a Garand Match if need be.
Yes.... those PIECE OF CRAAAP Garands. What was John C. Garand thinking when he invented it. What was Patton thinking when he said, "The Garand is the Finest Battle Implement ever devised by man".
Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesh.
