Everyone else, I also might have a chance to get an M1. My BIL mentioned that he knows someone that has one and wants to sell it. I mentioned it to the wife and she seems interested. I'm curious about something, though. I always thought the M1 was chambered in 30-06, but I've noticed a few here and there that say they are chambered in 7.62 or .308. Are these knock-offs or replicas or what?
All USGI M1 Garands are chambered in 30-06. The M14 (M1A) is .308 (7.62x51).
Thanks. That's what I thought.
I did not count the U.S. Navy Garands that were chambered in .308. Those would be USGI also, so I guess I was wrong. :oops:
