yep, quality, price, etc etc. It would be a good way to start a Garand build, and not have to pay what they go for these days.

where can we find all the other part ?

you just have to hunt around for all the parts. Either individually, or in bunches. It will probably be easy at first, but some things will be hard. But if you can get it done for less than a g(a)rand, then it will be really great. No it won't be numbers matching, and it will be a mutt of epic proportions, but it will be yours, very shootable, and still worth more than you payed for it.
plus, being a mutt, and being that you have the parts one at a time, you can clean, smooth, tweak and refinish each part as you get it.

I love my mix master breda garand. Nothing wrong with it. Just like I love my colt ARs and my franken builds. Building your own rifle is a point of joy and satisfaction.

Dumb question of the month (so flaming is fine):
How come there are receivers and that is it? Where is the rest of that garand?
Just wondering if they are arsenal leftovers, salvage parts, from guns with destroyed barrels, war time battlefield pick-ups, or what? I don't know: so I am asking.

My guess, ex lend lease rifles that can't ever go back to the US. The rifles were stripped, the parts sent as kits to the US and the receivers were left over. SFRC picked up the receivers on mass as that is the part that can't go to the US, and sells them to ya.
Just a guess.
