Are Marstar M1 Garand parts new or used?

[greenoliver1]

Hey all, I’m looking to order a bunch of M1 parts off Marstar, but the condition of the parts isn’t listed on most small items like springs. If anyone has ordered any of these parts please let me know if they were new or used! Mostly concerned about the springs, I’d like to have new or NOS springs.

Clip Latch Spring
Rear Sight Cover
Clip ejector
Ejector Spring

Used, various condition and manufacturer 's
They come from rifles they turned into parts

There are a few reproductions of parts

Unless it says New or NOS or reproduction its used

even if it says NOS it still could be used ..... as in lightly used

Wolff gunsprings makes new springs

If it says NOS, it is not used or thats false advertising. It old stock that have never been used and should (must) be in original packaging.

NOS = who can tell 40-50- 60 years later

Nib = who can tell ?

Just clarifying the definition, that’s all.

it's NIB if it's in a greasy 60 year old box with cryptic numbers on it, it's NOS if it's greasy and doesn't have any shiny spots on it when you clean it. If it isn't greasy it's repro, if it's greasy and there's rust under the grease, it's used.

I bought a Steyr slide off Marstar... it was used. Very poorly stored I'd imagine. It happens.
That's all I'm saying about that.

According to my wife NOS stands for Not On Sofa when you start taking a new purchase apart.

One thing to take into consideration, there aren't a lot of parts to choose from anymore
Garand Rifles are being destroyed instead of being sold in some cases by governments

Marstar is a greasy company so don't expect upstanding practices

Are you referring to the now different owner marstar, or likely the previous angry chop and weld marstar. ??

John is still involved.

I never had any issues with them when J1 was at the helm
The new owners have been fantastic in my expirence, I don’t think J1 is involved anymore I thought they posted that somewhere?

Sucks to be late to the game.

I'm 110% sure John is still involved or semi-in charge of Marstar.

I ordered m-1 parts in 2019, I was more than satisfied , with the quality. I kinda found them expensive but everything I received was in excellent shape.

I hope that the business as more recently organised is and will be fantastic... But it seems clear that John is still in it. I mean, 'John's Vault' of Prohibited goodies is still an area on the web site. The company is still involved in importing Prohib.s, supplying to the film industry, all that great stuff? I don't get the feeling it's easy to transfer those licences...
