The M1 Garand

[can14]

Anyone use the BM59 gas plug, the one that is basically solid and round inside?

I have seen the GI style and the adjustable orifice one where you use a small hex key wrench to open or close the orifice to regulate pressure on the piston face.

Yes, they work fine on a standard Garand.

A Real Tipo-2 is a 30-06 Barrel cut down approximately 12mm and reamed to 7.62x51

For those really paranoid about modern sporting in a Garand, there's those adjustable gas plugs. I have one where you can swap out the screws, and at extreme setting, the gun becomes a straightpull.

modern sporting 150 at typical pressures will feed just fine in a Garand without hurting anything in my experience. anything over about 168gn starts to become an issue though with prolonged use. I would avoid the 180's.

Thousands of handloads thru dozens of Garands using IMR4895/IMR4064 and 150-168 bullets have always produced safe, reliable and accurate results.

I'm thinking of getting a Tipo Garand.
Who does NM modifications in Canada?
So far, it looks like Vulcan, but wanted to know about others.
