| Ran across the Mini G while looking at Shuff's site to get one of my Garands rebarrelled. Looks like a nice handy little stick. I already have a "tanker" in 308 but for some reason am drawn to the Mini G. The mag fed option looks neat also but most likely wouldn't go for that. |

that being said on a 30-06 it would surely be a freakin flame thrower with a wicked force coming out the business end of it. I wouldn't agree with that. Both mine are in 30-06, but they have flash suppressors. I'm actually thinking of letting this one go to fund another project. They are well done and reliable.

I've been looking for a 3 point sling that would fit my Garand for hog hunting. |

Still haven't had a chance to cut mine down. |

Sent Shuff's an Email off his site. Im gonna have to have one of these. lol will still leave me with a full-size that needs a new barrel though... Almost accomplished that. :) He does that too, in 30-06 or 308.  It was the original reason I was on his site. Damned short attention span got me again... |

Those Shuff's modified Garands look frickin' awesome. |

I seem to recall buying it from Bushmaster once upon a time, but as others have pointed out, there are some similar slings available from other vendors. Edit: It may indeed be a Boonie Packer since Bushmaster did carry that brand, IIRC. |

Not a Mini G but this is what I'm going to have Shuff build next I have all the parts just trying to scrape together all the funds for the build http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f197/Garandlover/BM59/BM59A.jpg Nice. I know that stock wasn't cheap.

No, but I did get it for several hundred less than what they have been selling for on Gunbroker This whole build is a huge money pit, not sure what I was thinking when I decided to do this |

I couldn't do that to one of mine. |

Why a Socom M1A has a shorter barrel and no muzzle device and shoots fine. Never heard anyone complain about the recoil before, these were orginally fired in full auto in this configuration so cant be to bad |

Quoted: To each their own, personally I cant bring myself to permanently alter things like Garand receivers.

Here's a photo of mine in .308 with a Beretta BM62 style gas system and NOS Beretta bipod. Muzzle blast is pretty much what you'd expect from a 16" .308 rifle, but not especially punishing. A bystander described it as an "authoritative thump", I can't do any better than that.
