:?: Can you mount a scope on a M1 GARAND rifle?
Can I do it myself or is a gunsmith needed? If I need a gunsmith, any recommendations??

The receiver must be drilled and tapped for scope mount. I do not know of any mounts that do not require some machining.
You are located in Wayne County. so I would probably recommend Wessels on 9 mile in Warren.

Or Shooters Service in Livonia.

But why.... They shoot great with the iron sights!

I don't know about Ed, but I'm finding iron sights difficult to use these days. Has to do with when I was born. :shock:

As my doc would say it might just be a bad choice of parents.

Check out fulton armory's website, they have several mounts that replace the rear sight. Not cheap, but you won't have to drill.

but they are cheaper than trying to buy an M1C or M1D!
