Barrel seems to be in very good condition (TE<2, I don''t see any ME). How could you modify the rifle to shoot more accurately while still retaining its military stock, etc? I''d like to keep the gun historically accurate, but it would be nice to tweak it for better accuracy. Thanks, Steve Mr. Fowler,

I have takled to you a couple of years ago about my Garand and I must say you were very impressionable. I heeded your advice and stand by it today as it has worked wonderful. However I do have a couple of questions that were not covered by the book. I have a Garand with a pepper boyds stock. I''m not ready to bed the stock this season. maybe next year. It locks up nice and tight and is a snug fit currently. After talking to you two years ago the gist of what I got out of out conversation was that I need to have a nice snug fit between the receiver and the stock and that the barrel should float so nothing interfers with the harmonics of the barrel. I noticed that the first ring (held to the barrel with a collet) was creating a "Lock Fit " with the front ferrel on the stock where the sling attaches. I opened the ring up to relieve that "Lock Fit".Was that right? Next Good morning Clinton,

You can go to 308 and you can shoot Federal match but an occasional M1 doesn''t handle the 308 very well. Most M1''s do handle the 308 well. my price list and more available on my other website, http://gunsmithing.co Clint Fowler Mr. White, My address is 10486 Stegara Rd., Barboursville Va. 22923.

White Fri, 25 Jul 2008 22:20:26 +0000 http://clintfowlerrifles.com/?p=13#comment-132 Dear Mr. Fowler, First, where are you located. I am in Texas. I had heard of someone in Florida that rebuilds Garands, but lost my information. I have an M1 Garand in 30-06 with a shot-out barrel. Having an appreciation for the weapon, I would like to have one that shoots accurately and with NM sights. Would it be better to go to .308, and if so, can you shoot Federal Match 168 gr. ammumition in it? Would you rebuild mine or could I send you this one and make some kind of trade? Price? Sincerely, C. G. White Dear Mr. Fowler,

First, where are you located.

I am in Texas. I had heard of someone in Florida that rebuilds Garands, but lost my information.

I have an M1 Garand in 30-06 with a shot-out barrel. Having an appreciation for the weapon, I would like to have one that shoots accurately and with NM sights.

Would it be better to go to .308, and if so, can you shoot Federal Match 168 gr. ammumition in it?

Would you rebuild mine or could I send you this one and make some kind of trade? Price?

Sincerely,

C. G. White
