Know anything about them?  

Are they a real-deal USGI item or a aftermarket chop-job?

How chopped?

Are these .30-06?  How long are they and how much do they go for?  Are they clip fed or magazine?

They are Garands as you should be familiar with, but the barrel is chopped to an 18 inch length and the cycling system accordingly. Usually not very good in the reliability department, but some are fine.

They feed from the standard 8 rnd enblock clips.  You loose a lot of velocity and sight radius with the chop, and there are a lot of reliability problems as well.  I'd put it in the fun but impractical category.  And im not sure i could do it to a perfectly good M1.

I had one for a couple years.  It was not a welded receiver but was built on a 1.4 SA receiver.  Functioned just fine, never had a failure of any kind.  I liked it.  Only reason we sold it was because we wanted a full size M1 that hadn't been neutered.  Oh, it was very accurate too.  I shot a turtle off a rock at 75m standing.

Does the velocity and sight radius stay Loost?

I have one in 7.62x51 on a Springfield rcv'r that is both accurate and reliable. It is however very loud.
