M1 Garand Question?

[68Charger]

I'd love to get a Garand in .308 , with adjustable gas system ( I know some of you are cringing, but hear me out)

Since the only advantage 30-06 has over .308 is with heavier bullets... Which should not be shot out of a Garand...
I am already setup to reload .308... So it fits better for me as a .308

The only way I'd buy one in 30-06 is if it was beat to hell and priced like it... Just look at all the marks and let your imagination take over...

A buddy of mine and I built our 7.62x51 Garands using an Italian parts kit. I ordered 2 receivers from the CMP while he got 2 kits. Basically, the barrel, the op rod, spring, and one of the handguards are 1/2-inch shorter to accommodate the shorter cartridge. We did it thinking there would be more surplus 7.62 available when OIF spun down. They work fine but really not much point in it once I got my M-1A.
