I have two Garands, but both are .30-06 like God intended.
The 7.62 Garand got fairly common a few years ago when surplus .30 M2 Ball started to look like it might run out in the forseeable future. The 7.62 started going crazy and they slowed down. A lot of guys with M-14 platform rifles do that conversion on the Garand so they only have to keep one kind of ammo around. IIRC, the original 7.62 Garands were built for the Navy and those are fairly rare. |

M1A1 is a 308 I believe, not technically an M1 but in conversation they seem to be intertwined once in a while.
