M1A Hunting ammo
Welcome to the club! I've also been a long time competitor and collector and builder of garands. I dismissed your [cough] "factual" information because it was wrong. That why I said posting that article and claiming it's factual is misinformation. The authors should be ashamed for their lack... -

M1A Hunting ammo
So by your own admission you didn't watch the vids that showed the facts and they came to be presented as such...... that means you will remain ignorant on this topic and I suppose you will keep your head in the sand every time you are shown something that goes against what you "know".... -

My first Garand - A snipah
The date is for when the BARREL was made...not installed. There are no 1947 "D" barrels. It's a fake barrel. -

My first Garand - A snipah
Sorry to tell you it's not a real M1D. Someone took a regular barrel and made it into a "D" barrel. It's likely the barrel scope mount block is a repo and the flash hider is as well. Probably the cheek pad also. At this point all the "D" related items are suspect. However the rifle itself... -

M1A Hunting ammo
Except the CMP posts a warning using CUP pressure references which is out dated and then threw in a random bullet weight (172gr) then a few hours later changing it to 172-174gr. So yeah...they are really on top of it. It would be nice if showed everyone what info they based their "warning" on... -

M1A Hunting ammo
The simple answer is the CMP posts something very confusing and people loose their minds. The CMP should have never said what they said. In essence it said pretty much all SAAMI spec ammo is fine and that you only have to worry about bullet weight if it exceeds SAAMI spec. I don't work on... -

Not likely since it's operating pressures are very similar to milsurp ammo -

Posting links to poorly written articles with bad information isn't any way to post "facts". -

What facts have you presented? If commercial ammo has similar port pressure as milsurp then what's the issue? -

M1A Hunting ammo
M2 ball is 2800 at the muzzle. 4895 wasn't designed for the garand at all and wasn't used in USGI ammo until around 1943 or so. Prior to that it was IMR 1185 or 4676. But M2 ball isn't relevant nor is 4895 when considering what is "safe". -

Never said it was. But commercial ammo and milsurp ammo do operate at similar pressures. -

Milspec and commercial are both SAAMI spec... The garand was designed to fire a 174gr FMJ at 2700fps. -

More misinformation.....no modification is needed to shoot commercial ammo in garands. -

Looks like JRA just went down a few notches in my book based on that pile of misinformation. Lol they actually think there is a 12,000 psi difference in chamber pressure... Holy moly
