Good place... http://www.memorableplaces.com/m1garand/

I have several and they are fun to shoot. Can be a little tiresome after shooting several hundred rounds in competition though...

More good info on here. A word to the wise though. Any sporterizing is considered taboo with these guys.

The only mods that "should" be done to a M1 are match sights and bedding the barrel. IMHO

A super sweet gun.
