I'm sure you already know this but check the ammo you're going to use as the modern ammo can cause over pressure issues in a M1.
Thanks for the heads up - I've been reloading for about 30 & it's something I'm very aware of. Same with the Trapdoor 45-70.
I figured you knew about it but just wanted to throw it out there. Nice score on the ammo. I inherited my grand father's collection of military weapons when he passed and have long guns from WW2 from all the major countries involved in the war as well as several nice swords he got in Kyoto after the war when he was stationed there. I love the old rifles but only shoot the .303 Enfield he got converted to a short stock. It's a deer killing machine but I only used it for one hunt in his honor before retiring it to safe queen status. Congrats again on the awesome pickup.
I still want a nice m1 garand for the collection. Its either that next or a m1a scout. Got a socom 16 and a loaded m1a. The loaded trigger group is in the socom. Just seemed right.
Any of the ammo old, old? When looking at auctions, I'm surprised at how much older ammo can go for, and old ammo advertising display boards.
It's like that around here, Open Carry/Concealed Carry = no permit necessary.Oh boy,
