That is interesting that the .276 Garand had less than half the recoil of the .30 Garand.
Also interesting that the Remington Model 8 and 81 were mentioned. The Russians have used the Remington Model 8 selector/safety lever religiously for a very long time, particularly on the AK, SVD, RPK, VAL, & VSS. It's so old, we don't even recognize the design as something made in the US for the first real commercial semi-auto hunting rifle designed by Browning.
