Sorry I never owned an M1 Garand. I shot one at a gathering one time could not believe how heavy it was! I remember thinking if I had to carry this into battle I probably wouldn't make it.
I am a lifelong Missouri Resident. I worked in telecommunications for 20 years before retiring. I have shot competitively in years past and hunted my whole life. I have several 1911s, love working on them shooting them and talking about them.
