Scope a Garand?

Toolfogie
Anybody put a scope on their M1, or is that a dumb idea?
If you have, could you provide brand and model numbers of base, rings, and scope?
Pics would be great also, preferably twenty seven eight-by-ten
colour glossy pictures with circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one.[:D]
Thanks,
Gary

    There was a post not too long ago where someone showed his and how it was done. You may want to do a search.

    It is a dumb idea.
    First, the Garand is now a Significant Historical Artifact and Valuable Collector's Item and people will get upset with you for altering one.

    Second, the scope has to be offset to clear clip loading and ejection, making it hard to get a good cheekweld. See the lace on cheekpads made for the M1C-D sniper models.

    If you just must, Williams still makes a side mount for the Garand.
    Look for the model numbers in their catalog you can download at:

    If you want something nice, Griffin and Howe still makes the side mount as used on the M1C sniper.

    I think you can still get barrels and brackets and set up a fake M1D.

    I wasn't even considering altering it.
    OK, so it's a dumb idea.
    Aint like it's the first one I ever had.

    B-Square makes a good mount for the M-1 that doesn't involve altering the weapon in any way!

    It's pretty slick how it works, clamps on the left side of the reciever and on the rear site.

    Nothing permanent. No marks. Slick!

    You do have to take rear site apart, just keep the pieces and put them back on later!


    And BOY, when your eyes are bad like mine does it EVER help thin those damn groundhogs out!

    Check out Fulton Armory. They have a front rail that replaces part of the hand guard. Easy to undo if you like and you don't have to put the scope off to the side.
