WWII Springfield M1 Garand Recievers

[Aniest]

My guess, ex lend lease rifles that can't ever go back to the US.

Reasonable guess: thanks.

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.

There are no matching numbers for Garands, the only serial number on the rifle is on marked on the heel, every other part if marked will have a drawing numbers dont match each other either, all the info needed to build a parts correct US Garand are here http://usriflecal30m1.com/, I have made my Garand 99% parts correct, just need a 1944 barrel.

True, but there are production differences.
Milled vs stamped trigger guard, etc.
So a serial number range should include one version rather than the other.

Indeed that is correct, but that website I listed is excellent, just type in the serial number on the heel stamp in the "my Garand" section and it will give you a list of everything that should be on your garand for that year/month/ serial number range of production, so example, milled or stamped trigger guards, short forked long forked op rod guide rods, lock bars sights and so on and so on. really good site check it out.
