    When I first saw it, I was hoping they had BM59ed it so it would run with detachable box mags...unfortunately all they did was graft some cosmetic stuff on it. Sooo, I guess GT would despise mine as well. When I was shooting for the TXARNG, we had an "in" at Anniston and I bought a "rack grade less wood" which was actually "selected" for me by said "in". I spent the eight-dollar difference (with what I saved deleting the wood) on a Bell & Carlson fibreglas stock and had a well-known Garand collector do a trigger job and glas-bed the workin's into the B&C stock. Then I installed: an Ulti-Mak scout mount with Leatherwood 2-7X LER optic in QD rings, an adjustable gas screw, a pop-on comp, an NM rear sight, a KenSight tritium front sight, and replaced the issue sling loops and stacking swivel with a rear swivel stud, two forward studs in the forearm, so I can use QD swivels and a bipod. I can go prone or bench the gun and with genuine M72 or my SMK clone that I call M72LR, the drop marks in the Leatherwood give me serviceable torso hits, right on the marks, clear out to 700M. I've named the rifle "M1-E" bcz my initial sniper school and some of my early competitions were with the C and D and this piece is better than either. And just so y'all can hate me a bit more, I've also modernized two M1 Carbines and they will each stay on an E silhouette, as fast as I can dump the mags, at 300M from prone/bipod with issue ball or my JHP or ball handloads.

      @Matt Marzula its a fucking prototype my guy lmaoop give it a little more time. You're not wrong, but neither am I lol I still like it style wise, and with some tuning, it'll be a favorite. Little more work to keep it tuned? Sure. Little less trigger weight which also is the same as short cyclic rate, more accurate shots, easier for the untrained to just pick up on a range day, and the bitch can run better sights.

They all walk around so pompous and constantly berate “the system” for failing them, but they chose “social work”, “art”, and other low paying degrees.

    the M1 Garand is an absolutely gorgeous gun. My personal drawback is obviously the lack of a pistol grip which to me is more stable. So the "Malone version" really gets there. But it really lacks the elegance of a Garand. It needs the wood finish, but it needs to be more uniform. I think I can picture in my head a modernized Garand for the pistol grip, that would keep the elegance at the same time. to do this, you need to make the grip into the stock, kind of like the P90, but an aesthetic of a Dragonov. So all of it smoothly forms to the long barrel of the Garand itself. I think it would be nice

    It looks like the laser gun from the 1980's GI Joe cartoons. Either that or the Warhammer 40k 'Lasguns'. As goofy as it is, it's kind of neat!

    Up to this point, I always felt the M14 EBR was the most cursed Garand (though to be fair I do love the M14, especially the older variants)...this this video turned up. Still a very capable weapon though. I reckon it would still make a good DMR. I wonder how .30-06 compares with .308. The .30-06 does seem to have better ballistics if my solver adds up, though the .308 has a habit of retaining more energy beyond about 400m depending on ammo type.

      @Solo Renegade But making a Gucci M14 makes more sense.
      An M14 is already an "improved" M1 Garand. It's chambered in 7.62x51/.308, it has a detachable box magazine, and it's got an improved gas system, among other differences. The M14 has already been modified into the EBR among other variants. Why start from a more restrictive platform?
