I did a lot of gas plug research but never bought one. If I decide to it would be the garand gear one. For now I'm just buying ammo from the CMP. and yes you need to be a manner of an affiliated club/agency to buy am of rom the CMP. It's easy though. The garand collectors association is cheap and easy to join and that makes you eligible. http://www.thegca.org

Purchasing ammo from the CMP just requires snail mailing in an order form with proof of U.S. citizenship and membership in CMP-affiliated club.  I recommend Garand Collector's Assoc ($25/year) or Glock Shooting Sports Foundation if you want the side benefits there.

 

No need for the FFL, FPID, or proof of marksmanship required when buying a CMP rifle.

 

My last order from CMP took one-month turnaround time.  After initial order, you can order directly online from their e-store which is avoids the snail mail.

 

On a side note, if you need or can or two of Greek HXP, PM me.

Iv shot PPU M1 ammo through my garand many times. Extremely accurate and a good price new manufactured. Greek surplus from the CMP is great stuff. Just do yourself one favor, if you ever come across any Iranian surplus just keep walking.

Garand Gear Plug makes the gas chamber bigger changing the pressure curve.  Schuster is an adjustable valve.  I prefer an adjustable valve.  Can dial it in just to the sweet spot.  After a while you know just where to tune it to with different ammo.  Takes like 30 seconds once you get used to it.

I put money down while there the guy who said he has 30 garands in his collection had a barrel erosion guage and chamber and both were fine not new but not worn out or shot out he said it still has quite a lot of rounds left for the barrel I should be picking it up Feb 7 if you want to check it out

    • We never let then inside.  Last re-evaluation was 6-7 years ago, wife politely told him that he was welcome to look around the property and he could look in the windows. He saw two white resin chairs in the basement and told her that this constituted a finished basement. And everything in the basement is bare concrete/ cinder block, and mechanical systems. Nothing finished about it. Ultimately he relented and I'm sure that was a ploy to coerce us to allow him in
    • I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html
    • The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam 
    • I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.
    • Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
