You can buy and put in or have an adjustable gas plug installed.
Cabela's does sell some of the "garand" 30.06 in bulk too. The CMP stuff is a very good buy!

I've only put 40 rounds through it so far. All Remington 150 grain I think. What kind of problems are we talking about here?
Too late now, but for next time... they are much cheaper from the CMP. Twenty bucks gets you 25 clips from them.77346 wrote:I've ordered 10 clips... from Amazon... if they don't feel good I'll order some from Brownells. Clips are cheap... $20 x 10, so not a big deal.
