This thread is proof of the magical mythical Internet ether ... Bruce lives-on.
I've been following this thread for awhile now. Owning a couple of M1As I've just never been brave enough to try any CB loads in them ... but I'm giving it more serious thought.
I used to hear of pieces of tissue paper being used rather than the Dacron ... always wondered about that.

ETA: Before someone types "where's the leather" ... I went through the 82nd Sniper School at Bragg in 79 and learned the beauty of those webbed slings over leather for practicality purposes. I do have one nice leather sling for the M21 build (darker wood, middle) but I just prefer the modern webbed slings over the leather. I'm not a big purest in that regard I suppose.
But I am thinking about trying some CBs in the Springfield on the bottom.
