Kingston Armory M1 Garand .22

After more than a 1½-year wait we've got our Kingston Armory M1 Garand .22 rifles. Built on an all -steel version of the 10-22 that uses 10-22 magazines. The issue mag has a base-plate attached that makes the gun look more like an M1 rifle. It does have M1 sights, and the stock is amazingly like an M1 rifle stock. Looks pretty good so far but we have not shot them as we got them today. I will probably not get to shoot mine before Thursday. The other will likely be shot on Sunday. Serial numbers? 0044 (mine) and 0076.

It looks good,

but a genuine Garand can still be had for not much more.

I have one...

How much does it weigh compared to a real M1?

Shoot it? You actually found some ammo?

I haven't actually weighed it, yet, but it feels very much

by Hobie ⌂ @, Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, Saturday, June 11, 2016, 21:20 (3089 days ago) @ bj

like my M1 in weight and balance. Ammo? I have some "put back" doesn't everybody?
