Oct 16, 2024 · Yep, technically the Mk 2 Mod 0/1 Garands were issued to “sailors” - not to “troops.” Fwiw, Jim Adell served in the U.S. Navy during Vietnam as a young sailer.

The next round of .308 jammed in the chamber. The MOD 1 has a .308 chamber. The MOD 0 usually has a WWII barrel. The MOD 1 has a 7.62X51 barrel Gunny
