I reload for 7.5mm French for my MAS 49/56. You can use 6.5mm Swedish Mauser brass cut down by 1mm and sized for 7.5mm. Very easy.

A heads-up: The CMP office has re-opened from its Covid-19 related closure. They have resumed processing mail orders and auctions.

Just picked up a ported gas plug for my Garand from these guys http://www.garandgear.com/ported-gas-plug.html I*ve got a ton of en blocs and bandoliers from them in the past , anyone have or use this plug ? I got it in case the whole SHTF scenario occurs and I need to use modern ammo.

The match I went to was really great for first time participants, hopefully your experience goes the same.

True The CMP matches are fun. I remember using a 1903A3 smith corona for a match. The rapid fire portion was crazy using a bolt action.
