Pitted Garand Trigger Group sent from Numrich !

"...pitted junk Numrich sent me..." Suspect you'll find a disclaimer on their site saying 'As is' or something like it.
"...but their decent parts are long since gone..." All milsurp parts are long since gone. Lots of commercially made parts around, Stateside, though.
 
Well I talked to them this am and the lady contacted the parts dept. and had them go through the bin. Claims they are all in VG - Ex condition and can't understand how I got the pitted one.So they are handpicking me a milled Beretta trigger group and I've returned the paperweight.They will suck up the shipping and $35 International fee.So we'll see what comes this time.Unlike baseball this will be two strikes and your out.
 
enfield parts are a crap shoot from them. I got mint bands and less than junk bands in the same order. The rest of the order was the same way.
 
I recently sent back half of the items I purchased from Numrich to desporterize my Grandfathers Eddystone P-14. I should have taken photos to shame them!

The lower band was so pitted and rusted that the swivel was welded in place. Just useless parts they sent out, completely unserviceable. It was a waste of postage to mail the relic condition parts back.

I sent a polite note back with the parts so I'm hoping for a better outcome with what they send back.
 
I was more to the point and asked if the had dug them up on Normandy's beach or purchased them privately from grave robbers?The lady didn't know what to say ,just promptly phoned parts and had them do a hands on search.
 
FWIW, The PB marked M1 trigger group I got in the mail on Friday was at least as bad as the one the OP posted, and the only thing PB about it was the TH itself. The rest was SA. It was also heavily wire wheeled with zero remaining finish, so there was no active rust - just the remaining deep pits. It looked to me like someone else got it, tried to see if it would clean up well enough to do a simple re-finish. It didn't. And they returned it before it got shipped to me.

It's already mailed back with a tersely worded note. Luckily for most, the last 3 or 4 posted in the M1 build thread in the battle rifle forum looked really nice. I personally still suspect they ship the ones Americans have returned as unsatisfactory to their foreign customers, as they get returned, in the hope the foreigners won't pay premium shipping both ways for a replacement.

Every time I've sent something back and was willing to cover those costs, the replacements they've sent were virtually MINT. Coincidence? Perhaps not.

EDIT: As an aside, Beretta never made milled trigger bows. So if you insist on the milled variety, you will always get a mix-master assembly - probably mixed up by the Danes before the rifles were scrapped. If you order stamped, there is at least a chance you actually get an all-Beretta assembly, though the one I got sent was also a mix-master.
 
Numrich and Sarco are both a crap shoot for condition of parts. I've been buying from both for many years and condition has gotten worse over time as supplies diminish. I expect to have to re-park things from them, but sometimes am surprised at NOS condition items that show up. Repros of various Garand and M1903 parts have crept into the supply as original parts dry up. A lot of other parts sources like Fulton and Orion 7 no longer do export orders so there aren't too many other options.

People who are hunting for Garand rear sight components in Canada should beware of the many Chinese look-alikes that are in circulation. These are off spec and are made of softer metals which is the reason why many Norinco M14 clone owners have picked up original Garand rear sight units to replace them. I recall seeing a pee-pot full of these at MILARM at some point in time. They look very nice, but aren't up to spec.

For those looking for matched Beretta and Breda trigger housing assemblies, all of the housing, hammer, safety, trigger, and trigger guard will show the PB or BMB/BMR marks along with the drawing number. Both makers used the later pattern hammer spring plunger without the "wings".
