Just off the phone with Tim

Hey Cal, thanks for that you X*$#bird.

My pleasure Big Guy!

Ok, I finally got to the range to break in the barrel.

What fun!
Here is my target, You can see me walking slowly walking the bullets down, Sadly, This is only 25 yards... I couldn't really see the black areas very well, Next time I will bring a spotting scope, I'm not quite sure what I had the sights set for, I used a laser bore sight to get me close.



The only real issue I had was that the en bloc wanted to eject after a shot from time to time, Then no for a full en bloc, Usually it started with the 3rd round, I do have a full set of new springs.
It looks like I have a little searching to do.
All in all I am very pleased.

Clip latch spring?

[VitSports6]

Sounds good, I will swap it out and see how it goes.
It seemed to cycle well with the '69 Lake City ammo as well.
Thanks

Vit I can send you a c-clip for your windage knob if that is what you are missing?
Drop me either a PM or email with your address and I will drop it in the mail.

That would be great!
I will PM you, I did a quick search, and I couldn't figure out what I was missing, With this being my first Garand.
Very cool, Thanks Mike.

C- clip is inbound as of this afternoon.
You can use a couple of small screw drivers to work the c clip in the groove and the windage knob if you are patient.

[timshufflin]

It can be done, but you have to be patient. Of course, if you can't get er in, Standard Parts has an entire windage knob pretty cheap.

Thanks again Mike and Tim
I work with tiny items all day, So hopefully this should be easy.

So does Tim. He calls it "The Irish Curse".
