    Apparently does not know the difference between a Garand and a M1A, probably is .30-06 as well.

    So what is the correct answer in the heading he has it as a 7.62x51 and in the text he has the caliber as 30-06. I am now intrigued.

    FWIW I don't know jack about these guns.

    I'm no expert but it's a Garand (compare it to the actual M1A he has for sale, the profile is much different towards the muzzle). So more than likely a .30-06 unless it's been rechambered, and I don't think a .30-06 would rechamber easily to .308 since the '06 is longer by 12cm. Looks like it's not a bad price if it works but I'd want more pictures first.

    If you are in the firearms business, the least you have to do is learn to read (& take decent photos).

    The US military converted thousands of M1 rifles to 7.62 mm NATO simply by installing new barrels. (A plastic insert prevents attempts to load .30-06).

    What is he selling? I haven't a clue, & couldn't care less.
