Anyone here own or ever shoot a full auto Garand?
Interesting article on the prototypes that were made here:

I think I'm going to try to find a used copy of the book from which this is excerpted.

Some will die in hot pursuit
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit

Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain

I watched a guy a little bigger then me shoot a M14 full auto once and while he kept it from rising too much he was backing up pretty good.
I was the B.A.R Guy(carrier) in 2nd ITR Camp Pendleton,Fired full auto on all exercises,but will admit all were done in the prone position and full use of the bipod...This in 1958.
And a BAR is nearly twice the weight of a Garand.[;)]
