GARAND barrel cranking party. Greater VAN area

[tootall]

Anyone interested in a barrel cranking get-together to assemble their Garand parts?
I have been busy making a barrel and action wrench. I welded the handle on last night and will test it out this weekend.

So I'm thinking that perhaps there are a few guys around Vancouver or Fraser Valley that also have a stripped receiver and a barrel that needs installing.
Hopefully someone has a set of Go/No Go gauges, because I dont!

Maybe we can arrange a bit of a meet and great and build some guns.

It's barrel vice and action wrench. You've welded the handle on the wrong part. You make a bushing for the vice?

Fixed it for you, grammar counts remember.

I'm sure I'll be fine...

Anyone from Greater Van or surrounding area got a Garand project?

I would love to come and play, I do have the toys, but it's a long drive fer me! ha ha ha ha

Have a great time, and keep helping the noobs out west!

Cheers,

I actually prefer the action in a vise and the barrel fixture bolted to a handle...

How did the test go?
