M1 Garand Trigger group/ Bolt assembly.

Does anyone have, or know where I can find a Beretta mfg. trigger group and complete bolt assembly? I recently purchased a Danish Beretta everything is Beretta except for the SA bolt and trigger group. (Wanna trade?)

Hi. Not all Danish M1's were made by Beretta. Lots of 'em came directly from the States.
Haven't a clue where you'd find the parts you want. They'd cost a fortune too. A stripped bolt, for example, is worth $99Cdn from Marstar. Gunparts wants $69US for a stripped SA marked bolt.
Trigger groups are sold by the individual part. Marstar wants $89cdn for the housing alone. $29 for a hammer.
If the headspace is OK, I wouldn't worry about who made the parts. Does it have a VAR barrel?

If the rifle is complete as is, why worry about italian parts? Especialy as they will look just like any other Garand parts

Call Distri Corp in Montreal and see what they have in stock.

Ya, I suppose I could just leave it as is, especially after the way it shot today at the range. It's just that everything is marked PB and has a nice green parkerized finish except for the SA bolt which looks like its bead blasted and blued? The SA trigger group has the green parkerized finish though. I also noticed the hammer is WRA, so i guess it's kind of a "Mutt" anyway.

"...green parkerized finish..." That's the result of long term storage in cosmoline. Some kind of chemical reaction. Parkerizing is black or shades of grey depending on the chemicals used. I wouldn't worry about it though.

Thanks

Thanks for the insight guys, I got in touch with a fellow CGNr who has a PB bolt with similar finish. So I think im gonna swap it out. I guess I just get a little anal when something doesn't look right.
