[QUOTE="Jim Macklin, post: 1052616, member: 5278"] .308 [7.62x51 ammo] may be more available as surplus than .30/06. The NAVY developed the chamber bushing which is pressed into a .30/06 chamber so a .308 headspaces. That can be removed and teh gun will then shoot /06. If the gun was re-barreled as a .308 then you'd need to get a new barrel to go back to /06. Has the barrel been restamped for caliber? Have you had a gunsmith check it? There is little reason to switch back to /06, te .308 is ballisticly identical to safe loads pf /06 in a Garand. [/QUOTE]
