    BCI barrel, Barrel vice and wrench

    Hello Gents,

    My wife bought me a M1 Garand (dream Rifle) For christmas and after an extensive break down and clean I have made the determination that the barrel needs to be replaced (heavy pitting on outside, rifling worn, and chambered with no-go gauge). Where can I order a CBI barrel in Canada? Also i would like to get the barrel vice and receiver wrench. If you know where I can buy these items let me know! My receiver is in great condition as well as most of the components. Component data seems to show that it was made by H&R arms in 55 with a combination of H&R and SA components. The stock has really interesting markings, TRONG 1749 is hand engraved into the butt. I attempted to do a US military personnel search to see if that name and last four could be found but no luck so it was most likely a lend lease that made its way back to Canada.

    I bought a replacement barrel from Marstar. Not sure what brand it was (Citadel?). Can't help you with the tools. Some of the Norinco M305 guys might know. TacticalTeacher runs M14 clinics and will likely be able to point you in the right direction if he can't help himself. The M1 is the father of the M14 and some of the tools apply to both. Congrats and good luck with the project.

    We are currently sold out, which is why the link doesn't work

    It must have been an original USGI barreled rifle bought privately. All JRA rifles come with brand new shiny Criterion barrels...
