One thing I noticed at the CMP south store this week when I was looking at garands, some had a trigger guard without the little hole at the rear, it just looks like it had a weird bend at the rear of the trigger guard. I looked at one closer and it didn't appear the hole was broken off or anything, it was smooth metal with a weird bend. I've never seen a trigger guard like that but then again I'm new to the garand scene. Can someone explain that? |

Quoted:
The newer one is the stamped steel model. This does the same thing as the original but was a lot easier and cheaper to make. One other plus: the back end of the stamped guard is made to fit the gas plug and is used to remove or tighten the plug. Well, it might happen to fit, but I've never seen any sort of official publication suggesting that a soldier use the latches of the TG to remove the Gas Cyl lock screw. It's a coincidence, and nothing else. Garands were issued with tools to accomplish this task, and others. You want to bust off the engaging latches of your TG, be my guest. |

Thank you for your permission to use my M1 as I see fit. Short of a corroded or rusted in place plug, the trigger guard is more than strong enough to do the job. How much range time do you have with the M1/M14 Rifles? |
