price though- around here 4 bucks a box for 5.56 steel case or 7.62X39 steel case- and for reloading you can easilly get brass cases, and even berdan primer removers, and converters to make it all work - the garand is great, but finicky on what ammo it likes, without an adjustable gas plug, bent op rods ensue, and ammo in 30/06 is available , but no more so that 7.62 x 39 at this point- and its 16 bucks a box- steel cased, if available was 12 last time I checked.... and if he doesnt shoot it he wont know it, and wont be good enough when it counts, if it counts......
this is also why I like a 9mm pistol - shoot it if you wanna survive having to use it- If the OP can afford the ammo, the go with god on the garand- ps the garand it at least 700 bucks last time I looked, the sks maybe 300 if you do badly......once again, with the 10 round limit, if you can afford it, then no worries, but know the costs first...
