Loved my Garands but swapped one off and gave the other to my brother a while back. Had a M1A and it was even better but sold it here awhile back too. Much better gun and I liked it but unfortunately sold it when I thought I was going blind and sold a bunch of my rifles. But my Luxembourgh 30-06 FN49 is for sure a keeper. Love every thing about it and it is accurate and totally reliable. Dent the cases? beats me cause it throws them about 8 feet out and I ususally shoot in the woods or field so never get many emptys. Over all the M1A was the best rifle for me but the FN is great
