Article: 10:61

     Just got back from San Bernardino this weekend where I went to shoot
for my Garand.  Is there anyone out there who has participated in the D.C.M.
M-1 Garand purchase program?  If so, how long have you been waiting or for 
those lucky ones who have received their Garands, how long did it take?

     My main concern in this posting is with Mini-14 sights.  I don't know
if there is a problem in general with standard factory rear sights on 
stainless Mini-14s but mine sure rattles.  I spoke to a gunsmith at the 
High-Power match and he said that there is a replacement sight on the market
by a company named Williams.  Looking through my copy of Guns & Ammo, I 
found their add, with a picture of a modified Mini-14.  Has anyone out
there with a Mini-14 made this modification or some other fix-it to the 
sights.
