I just got a correct grade M1 from CMP. I don't know a whole lot about them, I field stripped it and cleaned it by using the instructions included. Everything looks great. I was wondering though, the instruction say I should have it looked over by an experienced gunsmith before firing. Is this just a c.y.a. statement, aren't these rifles headspaced and test fired? Thanks, John

  Was the M1 Garand produced only in semi-auto or was there a selectfire full auto version?

  Check out this link for info about the Garand. What I read indicated that "semi-auto" was the only mechanism produced...8 round clip would be eaten up quickly by "full-auto." [:)]

  from what i've read i have heard of garands running full auto, many(or all?) of which were modified to accept BAR magazines.
