Educate me please:
1) The M1903 and the M1 Garand both shoot 30cal a la 30-06-ish ammo correct?
2) I say "30-06-ish" because i understand (wrongfully?) that there is a difference between military M1 ball ammo vs standard civilian 30-06 Springfield ammo - is this true?
3) Further, I understand that a modern 30-06 hunting rifle can shoot either of those two 30 caliber rounds, but a M1 Garand is not safe to shoot modern 30-06 ammo - correct?
4) [Edit, added text] Is there a similar situation (as described in #3) comparing 7.62 NATO to 308?
5) Was there ever a M1A (civilian varient of M14) that shot 30-06 instead of 308?
