"The advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation ... forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of." -- James Madison (1788)
Well, I've shot it in match two months in a row. Second place in Feb and first place this month. I'll shoot it in April's match and put it up for a while. It shoots well enough but it is time for the Garands and Ar's to come out and whip some butt.

"Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect every one who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are ruined.... O sir, we should have fine times, indeed, if to punish tyrants, it were only sufficient to assemble the people!"
Prince, I do not have a Garand "chopped up" by Tim.
However, I do have a 308, and a 30/06 Tanker Garand "chopped up" by another guy before I heard of Tim, that I have owned for several years before I heard of Tim.
Also let me say that I really like regular sized Garands, and regular sized M14's.
I have found the shorter "chopped up" Garand in 308, or 30/06 to be a most excellent rifle. It is one of my most favorite rifles.
IF you are a M14 Freek, that is OK by me. You might want to try a M14M1-A Bush/Scout Squad Rifle.
ie, a "chopped up" M14. I like them too.
It's a Garand "improved" by committee... sort of like the old joke about how camels came to be.
I have one, but it doesn't have the same feel as the Garand by any stretch of the imagination. It is a little easier to scope then a Garand, that's its biggest redeeming factor to me and my middle-aged eyeballs.
+1 with Shuff.

When dealing with liberals, always attribute to malice what would ordinarily be attributed to incompetence.

Try Sierra 155 palma match bullets loaded to the accuracy load recommended in the Sierra load book. You may be pleasantly surprised.
