Nolan Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 (edited) An earlier post brought up commercial ammo in the M1 Garand, but was closed before I could post this information. There are 2 excellent, and somewhat funny videos from InRangeTV (Forgotten Weapons guys) on youtube about commercial ammo in the M1 and how to change the gas plug to an adjustable one for use with ammo other than M2 Ball.

DukeEB Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 (edited) I have 2 garand gear plugs and one schuster. I reload and i have no plans to use commercial ammo, so i didn't necessarily need the plugs. One other thing, the garand gear plug is not recommended on 308 garands, because the gas hole is usually too small vs the -06 garands. Great videos!

1chota Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 I purchased some Federal 30-06 150 gr. ball ammo. The boxes state that the velocity is 2900 FPS. Is that going to be too hot for an M1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
