M-1 Garand for apocalypse rifle?

[Perplexed]

I'm sure you mean Service Grade here, right?

Beware: they're addictive!

Here are four CMP SGs and a CG:

Which one is the CG? Certainly not the one in front, unless you restocked it.

Im sure he means the 8 round En Bloc clips...yeah good luck finding any in a SHTF scenario.

Thanks for the correction.

One in the very back: 5.6 HRA.

Front one is one of the NM SA SGs wearing new CMP wood.

You know GC I have hundreds loaded in the en blocs canned and ready to go. I think I will use the M1's and M1A's I have to take out the vehicles or perps at long range before they get to my house. Know what I mean? If all else fails with the amount of ammo I have for both types of rifles and I do have more than one of each, trust me, then I will use an AR platform in 556, but the first one will be a gas piston model if you will.

To the OP - whatever happened with the 1942 M1 Garand?

Haven't read the whole thread. Only useful input I can make (and it may have already have been said) is that modern loadings in 30-06 are too high pressure for the Garand. That leaves milsurp, specially loaded garand ammo, and doing your own reloading. I would want something that "eats everything" in a weapon for armageddon, and I would want a bolt action .22 with a ton of ammo in addition.

I have plenty of the en blocs.

Todd, you are so funny and I wonder how many here really understand your expertise. Just sayin'. I and yes the Border Collie and I are enjoying the evening young man. Thank you.
