Wondering who builds or refurbishes garands in Canada? Anyone? A lot of companies in the states do. Hoping someone might.

Anyone had success importing a build garand from the states
 
There are a few good builders here in Canada. Gather up the parts,
not cheap or buy a complete rifle to rebuild and get them to do it
 
I’m looking for actual builders here, can you share a few? I figured there must be a few, google doesn’t help
 
Another A+ vote for Nick at Vulcan Gun Refinishing. Did a superb job kn my M1 and LE no. 4 Mk. 1 a few years ago. Reasonable prices, fair turnaround given how busy he is and a one prrson operation, and great comms.
 
AFAIK Vulcan is about the only commercial enterprise which builds and sells Garands.

There are others on this forum who also build and sell them. A key concern is how the rifle is built, and whether or not fit and function conform to military specifications. There's more to assembling a Garand than just putting a collection of parts together.

I'd recommend Kuhnhausen's comprehensive shop manual on the M1/M14 to any Garand owner and prospective builder or buyer. It contains everything you need to know about inspecting, trouble shooting/repairing, and building a Garand and has some valuable guidance on reloading. Its been my guiding light on building/maintaining Garands for many years.
