Brand new M-1 Garands from Springfield armory.

Who knows why they would say that. Probably to avoid any possible CFC/RCMP issues regarding the magazines. The mags are certainly not identical and do have significant differences in them.

My AIA mags work in my Norinco and that's perfectly legal.

I... I think I love you... but i'll bury my feelings deep, then go by a Norinco and some AIA MAGs! G: Oh god this is a good F'ing day!!! THANKS DUDE!
 
Had a club member bring a springer M1 out to the range, brand new and pleased as punch. It looked great, and made my old girl look really tired. Then he tried to shoot it. Wouldn't feed 3 rounds in a row without jamming. He left VERY upset, and later ended up selling, as after repeated calls to springfield they couldn't offer any help, short of sending it back to their distributor, and that he was loathe to do.

Sure looked good though!
 
Well I cant even guess why that rifle is in a 2010 gun catalog if they no longer make them. missprint I guess. DAMN THIS SUCKS!!!:mad:

Maybe they still have some for sale? Call them up is your best bet.

The Garand is the only semi-auto centre fire that can legally hold 8 rounds, while the SAFN 49 is the only centre fire to legally hold 10. I love mine, in 30-06, will never give it up. It also out performed the Garand in the hands of the Belgians in Korea.

Nope still have the letter from the RCMP that they sent my dad about my SAFN when it was still his. About needing to limit the FN mag. :p

I think all SAFN owners would love to have a copy of that letter. Care to post a copy?

I'll look for it, my dad rarely throws anything out so he should still have it. None the less all it stated the magazine had to either be limited to comply with the 5 round law or surrender the magazine.
