    If you could have only one rifle...

    If you could only have one M1 to use as your main shooting rifle (not collecting) would it be a Mini-G or a regular M1 Garand?

    Why?

    Regular Garand as I could always have it turned into a Mini G if I wanted later

    Mine would be a regular garand. Mini G's are cool rifles. My preference always leaned toward "as-issued" military rifles.

    Don't worry if plan "A" fails, there are still 25 other letters in the alphabet.

    Looking for S/A bayonets s/n 922033 & 1045220

    I would choose an "as issued" Rifle,If no rifles are available,I would choose to carry eric holder or nancy pelosi.

    Why?

    Depends on what I'm shooting - target, long range, animals, home invaders, stray dogs, etc?

    AS Sean said for what purpose.
    I like my Mini "G" magazine .308.
    It's lighter,shorter,handles better in the woods.You can change mags,pre loaded with different loads,bullits,etc.
    my 2 pennys.
