Hello,
I know all of jack and hockey sticks about Garands that I didn't find on google. I have a 5.9 million and change serial number post war (judging by bore and gauges pretty sure it's unissued) with a bit of a worn stock (drill rifle maybe?).
Couple of questions for the gurus, my rear sight block has flat head screws and not the thumb screws I've seen on other Garands, am I missing a couple pieces or is that an aftermarket sight key?
2) Is battle sight 100 or 200 yards? Also, are the flatheads on my rear sight block tension screws so I can reset my BDC and windage marker to gauge zero after I finish zeroing my rifle? I'm like 2 3/4 bars left on the windage scale and the 0 mark on my BDC dial is burried about 1/4 below the mark and it's shooting about 6 inches low. I'd rather not futz with sights that I can ge a good holdover with and hit bullseye until I get some advice from people who actually shoot these rifles.
I do have about 300 rounds through her at 100 yards and my holdover is 6 inches high and 2 inches right for bullseye.
That is with 203gr greek surplus, is the BDC callibrated for 150gr or 203gr rounds?
