Garands at the local Cabelas

Normally the term "rolled barrel" is when the shoulder (where it contacts the receiver) is pressed with roller while being turned on a lathe. It is done to move metal to the shoulder face in order to tighten up a loose index. I have never seen or heard of a "rolled" muzzle. Maybe someone can describe what it looks like. A pic would be great.

The technique described by Devil Dog is listed in the M1 maintenance manuals. Requires a special tool for use in a lathe. Apic of the so-called flattened or rolled muzzles is definitely in order.

I hit the jackpot and picked up a 100% correct 7.62 Standard Grade MK2 MOD1 AMF/SA barrel USMC Sec of Navy Award Garand one day from the Cabela's library store.
