[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 2179782, member: 24284"] Lots of new shooters. And with ammo in short supply some may think all .30/06 is the same. I still see low number Springfield brought into my shop, and their owners don't know there was a change in heat treat making for high serial number an low serial number rifles. In the low number the carbon may have been 'burned' out of the steel during heat treat, making for a brittle action. Too powerful of loads or too heavy a bullet in the Garand might bend the operating rod. Not a cheep (low cost) part to replace. There is modern ammo produced for these rifles by Federal and Hornady, and maybe Sellior & Belloit loaded for the M1 Rifle. (hard to find, like all ammo right now!) [/QUOTE]
