The upper HG scope mount sounds like a good alternative for left eye dominant, as well as modern glass use. I have never seen one myself.

Amega website for Garand.
http://amegamounts.com/product_pages/m1garand.php Ultimak site http://www.ultimak.com/M12.htm My #1 Garand has a Douglas medium barrel which is to big to accept either brand of mount. Saw the same effect with a MiA Loaded model when considering mounting a Springfield barrel mount. Works fine with a standard M1A.

Sold the rifle.
No issues with the mount at all, it went with the rifle. |

This is the SAI scout scope mount. Wonder if it works on a Garand.
It would require cutting out an opening in the upper hand guard.  This a similar mount for the M1A made by GG&G.    _________________ "I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do. I am free, no matter what rules surround me.

If I had to replace a Garand barrel I would consider going 7.62X51.
Any observations from someone who has experience with a 308 Garand? Only experience I have had was decades ago with one of the 70,000 Navy conversions, that being to limited to have an opinion. _________________ "I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do.

I had one with the chamber insert. Ran and shot great, never had a problem with it. Back then i could buy 7.62x51 SA Battlepacks for 10 bucks. I put a lot of rounds through it before i finally sold it.
I don't remember the company that did the insert and new Wood, but it was well done. That was the 1st Garand my oldest daughter fired, i still have the Target hanging in my Garage. _________________ Mr. Q wrote: so basically, if you have to smoke some asshole, make sure they become fertilizer and then Bounce? got it.

Have been told the insert barrel models were eliminated
from the Navy TO&E soon after being issued. Replaced with . .308 barrel models. Have about a half dozen South African 140 round battle packs. Current price range? _________________ "I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do. I am free, no matter what rules surround me.

Those rounds are probably .70 each these days... _________________ Mr. Q wrote: so basically, if you have to smoke some asshole, make sure they become fertilizer and then Bounce? got it.
