What's allowed as far as mods to an M1 Garand to increase accuracy but still remain service-rifle-legal in HP/CMP/JCG matches?
When I get my "special" grade from CMP, I'm going to just shoot it as-is for a few matches, but my intent is to take it to Ron Smith at SEI and have him mod the sights to 1/2 MOA with hooded aperture and eliminate any wobble in the rear sight, smooth the trigger to 4.5 to 4.75 pounds, unitize/align the gas system, and maybe bed the action. Set it up so it can run 168gr and maybe even 175gr match bullets as well as a Garand is capable of doing. Not doing the Schuster plug (though I'd really like to), since that isn't CMP legal.
Ideally, I'd rather have a .308 "Navy" Garand so I don't have to stock .30-06 ammo at all and I already have an M14. But, a .308 Garand isn't legal for HP/JCG/CMP matches. Just wondering what other mods I might come across that are prohibited for competitive service rifle shooting.
