I will when I get home tomorrow. Any recommendations for ammo for these? I was going to buy a can of priv partisan that is marketed for garands. I understand that some modern 3006 hunting rounds can be damaging to these. I cant wait to shoot this.
Yes some other 30-06 loads can damage op rods be cause of the gas pressure or pulse that reaches the gas port is to much. Think of it as walking into a wall vs running into a wall.
That said I don't see much 30-06 much less than .90 cents per round. Except the CMP HXP surplus
and some Korean and Pakistani surplus out there. PPU M2 is IMHO the best value. The stuff I put over the crony was very good SD was 30fps vs all over the place with HXP....on average I got a SD of 75 with all the HXP I tested.
Almost all of it should deliver minute of SR1 ten ring. I have one crappy lot of HXP that is dedicated to pumpkin destruction.
You can always run a garand gear ported plug for everything else.
The creedmoor ammo is a good deal if you plan on buying anything costing 1$ or more per round.
You can recoup 10-20$ for the PPU ammo can or as much as .50 cents for the once fired lapua brass creedmoor uses.

prvi is good stuff! stay away from corrosive (Korean surplus with a few exceptions, easier to just avoid)
I'm not one for cleaning my rifles of corrosive ammo but there are some old guys at my club that lo e the Korean stuff....they say it's some of the best surplus made?
