What caused the nicks in the muzzles of the Greek returns? I went through the rack at CMP north and nearly all the Greeks had nicks. It almost looks like they used them to hammer in tent stakes or something similar. |

From what I understan it's how the Greeks traeted their weapons. That's why everyone went nuts over the Danes, those barrels (VAR) were awesome...wish I would have gotten one myself. Now that being said, having the muzzel crowned on a Garand isn't hard and most all of the Garand smiths can do this. |
GOOD TO KNOW!!! |
| So the nicks are the result of improper cleaning? How the heck did they do it? Did they put the rod in the barrel and slam it into the ground? I truly do not get it. I may need to have mine recrowned. It gauges TE 4 ME 2 with a replacement stock and front hand guard. It was sold as a field grade but as I understand the grading system it gauges as a service grade is this correct? |
Who knows why soldiers do what they do to their weapons. If yours is nicked, then Brownells has a crowning tool that from what I understand is pretty simple to use. That should take care of it. |
There is some general abuse going on. But the USGI steel segmented cleaning rod is a sure-fire recipe for quick muzzle erosion. It gives you three opportunities with every pass to damage it. Ty |
