i found this is this good ammo for the m1 garand the price does not look to bad either at 82 cents per round not counting shipping and tax

Get a Schuster adjustable Garand gas plug, $35-$40.

CMP still has Greek 30-06 surplus 200 rds for $120.00 plus ship.

you can shoot most 150gn ammo in a Garand anything bigger may hurt the op-rod and gas system... it was designed to shoot 150gn

I m sure if you ask in the market place "WTB Garand ammo" someone will sell you some CMP bulk at a slightly higher price. If not I have some I can give you to take your new Garand out for a spin.

Do you have to be a member if CMP to purchase ammo from them and what about the gas plug from garand gear

That plug says you don't have to adjust it just install and use any 30 06

I did a lot of gas plug research but never bought one. If I decide to it would be the garand gear one. For now I'm just buying ammo from the CMP. and yes you need to be a manner of an affiliated club/agency to buy am of rom the CMP. It's easy though. The garand collectors association is cheap and easy to join and that makes you eligible. http://www.thegca.org

Purchasing ammo from the CMP just requires snail mailing in an order form with proof of U.S. citizenship and membership in CMP-affiliated club.  I recommend Garand Collector's Assoc ($25/year) or Glock Shooting Sports Foundation if you want the side benefits there.

 

No need for the FFL, FPID, or proof of marksmanship required when buying a CMP rifle.

 

My last order from CMP took one-month turnaround time.  After initial order, you can order directly online from their e-store which is avoids the snail mail.

 

On a side note, if you need or can or two of Greek HXP, PM me.

I belong to the garand collectors association not sure where my member number is and 2 month turnaround is fine I won't have the rifle till febuary

Iv shot PPU M1 ammo through my garand many times. Extremely accurate and a good price new manufactured. Greek surplus from the CMP is great stuff. Just do yourself one favor, if you ever come across any Iranian surplus just keep walking.

Nick what about the gas plugal from garand gear they have test data showing it working with a lot of commercial ammo and there is no adjusting it

Garand Gear Plug makes the gas chamber bigger changing the pressure curve.  Schuster is an adjustable valve.  I prefer an adjustable valve.  Can dial it in just to the sweet spot.  After a while you know just where to tune it to with different ammo.  Takes like 30 seconds once you get used to it.

Can anyone give me info on what I'm looking at if I provide a receiver serial number?
