Gotta love the M1! I started in HP with a Korean return with a new barrel ( on my nickel ) and did pretty well with it. After shooting enuf matches I qualified for the DCM Garand and got a real nice H&R with what appeared to be a new SA barrel.
I did a little match tuning on it and won the local M1 match at Kenmore in the Service Class, ( before match tuning ) and beat the Match class guns as well.
Later when I went to the M1A I used the H&R mostly for prone matches at Plantation and Machias and did well with it there too. Those were fun shoots.
Still have that DCM gun, I wont ever sell it.
