+1.
If nothing else you should have a 22lr rifle just because you can get 500 rounds for $20 or less.

It's my opinon, NOT bashing anyone once you have an en-bloc in the M1, you can't top it off or remove the en-bloc until you finish shooting all 8 rounds. I rather have a M1A with a 20 round mag, that I can top off at anytime or change ammo type anytime I want, While the M1 will do the job, My opinon it would not be the best choice H O P E this clears the air
No problem...but I have Garands, an you can eject the enbloc of rds. at anytime an put in a fully loaded enbloc anytime...you do not have to wait until the last rd. is fired to do that...its called depressing the clip latch, enbloc an any rounds are ejected from the open bolt....every Garand owner knows this, or at least should......The Garand is not the best choice for many, but it is for me because I've got the ammo an the "skills"
I just learn something new, i didn't know the en-bloc could be ejected with rounds still in it.
The problem I see with the Garand is the fact that it is not suposed to shoot full power 30-06 round, because it will damage the gas system. so in a SHTF situation you might be limited to the ammo you have stock piled. Also I have been told the you can top off an M1. I do not know how to do it, but I was going to borrow a buddies Garand to go to a John C. Garand match at Wildcat last year. And most people that shoot those matches have special end blocks to shoot the 2 & 8 strings of fire. And since I was borrowing the gun I did not have the speacial end blocks, the guys up there said to come up any way and the would show me how to do it. In any case a Garand is stiil on my list, along with a Mosin to add to my WWII battle rifle collection, which only consists of my 98K at present.No problem...but I have Garands, an you can eject the enbloc of rds. at anytime an put in a fully loaded enbloc anytime...you do not have to wait until the last rd. is fired to do that...its called depressing the clip latch, enbloc an any rounds are ejected from the open bolt....every Garand owner knows this, or at least should......The Garand is not the best choice for many, but it is for me because I've got the ammo an the "skills"
