younggun - how many times a day do you get beat up at middleschool? I'm just wondering?
As for post count - I've never seen you contribute anything to these forums, you just post your BS about joining the military when you are old enough, which is fine, good for you. You have been a member to these forums for 3 months and you have 10 less posts than me, and I have been here over a year......

Also, how can BS be good? That's what you're saying in your post, and it's not making any sense, you call it BS, then you say it's fine, and then it's good. That doesn't figure.

O.K. M1 Carbine as issued are 30 carbine.
The M1 Garand is 30-06. If stamped it will say 30 cal.
150 grain is M2 Ball Ammo which is the standard military issue ammo for the M1 Garand.
The M1 Garand will handle everything up to about 190 grain ammo.
For match grade ammo you will see it loaded with 168 SMK's most likely, which is a lot better for shooting off the 600 yard line over the M2 Ball. IMO
If you ever get a chance to shoot a John C. Garand Match you will be shooting a rack grade M! and everyone will be issued M2 Ball ammo.
I know this strays form the original posting but seem relevant.
They are a lot of fun.
