Congrats on the Garand, David. While we can debate the equivalency of 9 and 45, it's hard to argue 5.56 vs .30-06.

Thanks. Interestingly, with a career of carrying odd guns around this will be my first Garand that I have owned. As for equivalency, everything has its place. After cutting my teeth on the M16 A1 as a fighting rifle I really appreciated the difference in size when I was given a SMLE in .303 or a CETME in .308. The big boys are nice for a defensive position, but if I have to carry it very far I really want a lighter weight gun and round. I'll give up the downrange and barrier performance for the weight savings.Originally Posted by doctorpogo
