It doesn't have a lock, but both of the ones I've owned fit so tight on the buffer tube that they don't wiggle.

who can afford to shoot 22 these days? sheesh! cant hide money :lol:
Picked up my first 2 M1's this weekend at the CMP South Store, took a trip up there this weekend to check out the store and attend the annual GCA convention, watched part of vintage sniper matches and John C Garand matches they hosted at the Talladega Marksmanship Park. That range is impressive, they have and electronic targets on the 200, 300 600 yard range where your shots show up on a 18"x18" monitor. I was pretty impressed, want to make it back to shoot that range when it is not closed for the competitions.
Yes, indeed, the joyous sound of 5¢ 5¢ 5¢ vs 75¢ 75¢ 75¢ was nice lolwho can afford to shoot 22 these days? sheesh! cant hide money

What grade of M1's did you get? Can't wait to get my first one.
One Springfield field grade ( the muzzle/throat erosion tag read 1-muzzle, 3-throat)
One HRA field grade (2-muzzle 3-throat)
They had plenty of the CMP specials with the new barrels and stocks, both in .308 and 30-06. I only saw one service grade both days I checked out the store and it had a reading of 2 and 2 and a new stock on it, I passed on it since the barrel reading was not worth the extra $100 to me. I am pretty sure that the field grades I picked up will shoot better than me for now. The guys at the counter told me that there are some M1 carbines that should be ready in the next 3-4 months, they said the field grades will be starting around $700. They also had a good supply of rack grade M1's that have the holes for the scope mounts. Most of the regular rack grade M1's has barrels that were all over 5 and 5 according to the tags on them.
If you go to the store to get your M1 I would definitely try to a make time to check out the Talladega Marksmnship Park, its only about a 20 min drive from the store. Its the most impressive range I have seen.

Shot Expert in CCP today. Not as accurate as I would have liked, but it's where I expected to place.
Congrats on moving up in the world, Jeep, you deserve it.

Please do come out, 90% of the fun at IDPA is hanging out with good peeps.
I'll try. I'm going to be shooting the GSSF match at least the Saturday before, and possibly that Sunday as well.
Maybe I should join. I need to redeem myself somehow.
Join us at a USPSA match. Whole Lotta fun, and more bullet slinging.
Thanks man, maybe after I get out of whatever weird rut I seem to be in.
