I really hate bumping a old thread but I didnt want to start a new one.
Right now I am mad as all hell, I was shooting my m1 garand today using surplus 30/06 and the first 6 shots fired fine the 7th didn't sound right and the bolt didn't cycle the action. Come to find out after I cleared the gun the bullet was a squib load , and I have a bullet lodged in my barrel. I have tried everything to take the stuck bullet out but it is not going anywhere . Looks like the m1 carbine fund will be buying a new m1 garand barrel and hiring a gunsmith to install it. I know I could hire a gun smith to knock the bullet out but the bore on this gun is not that great anyway (shot out muzzle), so instead of paying 50.00 to a couple of hundred dollars to get the bullet knocked out I might as well get this gun a new barrell.
As far as a new barrel goes what would you suggest should I get a original surplus barrell or a aftermarket one.
Sorry for the rant but I am very pi$$ed off.
