Well, I just drank the Koolaid! 1 Beretta receiver on it's way.
Looking forward to hearing 'PING'! That will be a couple of years down the road though.
I'm Danish, need a Danish rifle!
So will all parts work together despite what markings are on them? I've noticed when searching parts they list different markings and such
Here is the web site that has a plethora of info on the M1 garand. ht tp://usriflecal30m1.com/Parts/PartsComponent.aspx
Choose components then components by type, You can get the drawing numbers and years they were made. You will also see the MFG info, component drawing number, heat lot/type,
date range, and serial# range of the components as well.
This is how you can tell if a garand is authentic WWII / Korean war or a rebuild/mix master. For instance someone may "claim" the rifle is all genuine 1942 but it has a bolt with a drawing number of 6528287-SA Z4B in it.
The 6528287-SA Z4B is a January/1955 to December/1957 date, so it, like 90% of garands out there is are build/mix master.

Got 2 today, the Breda is in thick cosmo and looks new no scuffing or anything! The berretta is definitely used with lots of scuffing and some light scaring on the inside but still nice and useable for sure, now how about some REASONABLY priced parts,,, or complete Garands!
From what I have seen, they all appear to be Danish marked.
