Even the U.S. government Springfield Armory found it a challenge to scope the M1 Garand for sniper rifle use, either drilling and tapping receivers for an expensive Griffin & Howe mount, as on the M1C, or installing threaded barrel blocks, as on the M1D.

Scopes, too, were fairly low-powered. A simpler solution to scoping a rack-grade M1 Garand today without permanently altering it is available from Amega Ranges. The company’s anodized aluminum Garand scout scope mount clamps around the rifle’s barrel, replacing the rear handguard with a 9-inch strip of Picatinny rail.

Any number of intermediate-eye-relief scopes or red dots can then be clamped on. The mount comes with clear instructions, Allen wrenches and all the parts necessary to do the job in just a few minutes, and the rifle can be returned to its original condition at any time. Price: $170.

Also available: Super Scout M1 Garand Mount from Fulton Armory. About $150.00. After reading multiple threads on these 3 mounts, I bought the Fulton Armory scout mount, Leupold QRW low rings and a (cheap, $100.00 on sale) Leatherwood/Hi Lux long eye relief scope. Putting it all together now... Hope to report more soon.

The weight should not be an issue for a frequent M1 Garand user. The systems weight should actually help stabilize the system and the pay off in accuracy plus being able to view longer distances should pay off.

(@ Scout Mount) Not lately; CMP hasn't had them for over a year. The Amega Ranges mount is well made, but bear in mind that you're adding close to 1# of aluminum to a 9# rifle, plus the wt. of your scope or other accessories. It needs to be made out of some sort of glass-reinforced thermoset resin to save wt. Other than that detail, it's a nifty piece of kit.
