Hi.
Got a HRA M1 Garand .30-06 i would like to refit as a M1C/M1D type sniper rifle.
As you may expect parts for these are non-existent in Canada and even rare in the US, with extremely high prices for imports and stuff. I checked for M1D barrels, Barrels blocks, they all are in the US and require some gunsmithing. And are expensive for most.
So i'm checking for aftermarket parts that could replicate the best the mount (On the side, possibly "old" looking with a parkerized steel finish), so that i can use either a M84 scope mount or a standard scope ring that can fit a M84 scope. I was wondering if any of those were floating around in Canada.
My main goal is to get a M1C/M1D repro as closely looking to a genuine M1C/M1D. Ideally, i would like a new stock also, i don't want to modify my original stock. I also do not wish to do permanent smithing on the Garand. I would like to keep it intact so that i can simply swap the parts back to the original if i wish.
Thanks!
