The rifles that our drill teams perform with,are they service grade rifles or a lighter weight reproduction?

As far as I know, they are the real deal, and full weight. Blows my mind how something as relatively heavy as an M1 Garand can be tossed around so fast and accurately. Years of training, no doubt.
Real deal. My high school jrotc team used the real deal demilitarized 1903s and M-1 rifles.
They actually are better than the lightweight fake ones as the weight gives it some inertia in a spin.
You follow why I ask. Yes,they are just amazing to watch. I call up videos on you tube often.
Joe, they have to be good, missing a catch on a 9.5lb spinning Garand, would thin out the bad ones real quick.[:)]
