[QUOTE="Leggett71, post: 2703484, member: 13456"] Have a Navy Garand in 7.62 x 51. Would never consider chambering a 308 round. All I have read in the Milsurps forums distinctly state not to use 308 in a garand chambered for 7.62. There is plenty of web articles noting the differences in dimensions between 308 and 7.62 also that the NATO stamped ammo is correct loads for the gas pressures required to operate the garand without an issue. You might also note there are some foreign NATO marked rounds that you need to avoid because they are still corrosive. From my experience 7.62 chambered garand is a pleasure to shoot & very accurate.
