I recently installed a IER scope on my shooter Garand. I was not pleased with my inability to shoot the peep the way I used to, and the scout scope brings my shooting back up to par. To make same work, I had to raise the comb with an accessory pad. I shoot it much better at distance, perhaps even better than when my eyes were 15-20 yrs younger (using the peep). Unconventional, nontraditional, but results are worth it to me. I've even hunted the old rifle a bit this whitetail season. No blood yet.
As the rifle is no longer GI or traditional, I have toyed with the idea of installing a flash hider or a brake to go with the scoped look. Eccentric, yes, but what the heck. Playing further with the idea, I've discovered a replacement gas cylinder lock that is threaded on the muzzle end, that, once attached to the rifle, would allow the use of any device threaded 5/8 x24. I'm thinking a .30 cal A2 birdcage and said threaded lock, would be an affordable path.
Has anybody used this threaded cylinder lock to install a flash hider or brake on an M1 rifle? Reviews on the device are mixed. For about the same cash, (adapter and A2) I could buy a repro T37 and get the same look.
