M1 Garand builder

[waltherppk9130]

When you see parts, you should buy more than you need .
Then develop parts kits with receivers etc
Then send the barrel ,bolt and receiver out for assembly

I do , they are selling faster than I can have it , last week alone I sold 6 op rod + other parts

I grabbed a bundle of receivers with the intention of buying 30 pcs per part till I got close to done.

Haven't made any progress for this plan lol

Thinking of building a COVID-19 commemorative Garand. It will come with a small bottle of hand sanitizer and some butt wad in the butt trap. Life continues.

Hand in the air. I've got an M1D, M1 Tipo2 7.62 and an M1903, all newly assembled awaiting testing and zero at the range which is closed on account of CV19.

There is an importer that is never mentioned on CGN that has complete parts kits (minus the receiver). You could find their name on another large canadian gun forum. They are about ~$1200 US.

I got a few kits to assemble in 308 and 3006

It really seems that the US parts people are running out of military parts for m1 garand 's, mauser's,
etc
You get very few parts sent from what you order

Who are you dealing with? We are starting to see repro parts creeping in which aren't always to MILSPEC.

M14 cross over parts are being used for m1

 

[tiriaq]

Well, with the OIC, there may be M-14/M1A/M305 cross over parts becoming available.

 

[waltherppk9130]

I have seen BM-59 parts cross over but not seen M14/m305 yet from my side

I'm just starting a Garand build. Unsurprisingly it's the op rod that I can't find.

 

[hsatimmy]

i know its a dumb question, but anyone know where we could source a large quantity of parts?

Between Korea, Vietnam, Greece and the lend lease countries, you'd think there'd be parts somewhere.

Maybe if we get lucky we can get some more CMP things readily available
