So you're the guy.....
Nick mentioned to me that he was currently building one for a customer. If you have never owned one of his rifles, you are in for a very pleasant surprise. I have let other people shoot my Garands at the range and the one comment I have heard more than once is "this is the nicest rifle I have ever shot..."
He also said that he had enough parts on hand for one more. He plans (maybe) on having it engraved as "Vulcan's Last Garand" and signing it
If you supply the parts, he will still build more but he's all out of receivers and op-rods. Still some small parts for sale if you need something for your builds. Lots of 1911 parts available and possibly a deactivated Thompson

Drop in for a visit and a coffee. Being in his shop and watching his team work on guns is quite an experience and worth the drive. Lots of cool militaria for sale and you get to play with the shop cats LOL

I think I will before the summer is over, I have an 8 year old son who would love this place as much as I would.

You'll both have more fun than going to the waterpark.. He may even invite you to stay for lunch. May even let you guys test fire a few..
Last time I brought a friend with kids (13 and 11), he brought out a 1911 and took them out to the pit
Haha this will be my second garand built by Nick. Had one built a few years ago but sold it and I’ve regretted it ever since. It was an accurate and very smooth shooting rifle. Glad to be able to get another that I’ll hold onto forever. I had an impression that I should contact Nick a few months back to inquire about getting this second one done and then learned from him that he was closing down his shop. I honestly feel pretty lucky I was able to commission this garand. Wouldn’t want anyone else to build me one.
Was hoping to one day visit Nick’s shop but sadly I’m afraid that won’t happen now. I wish him and his wife all the best.
When I got my hands on the rifles, I could tell Nick had function tested and fired them with FMJ. The throats of both rifles had streaks of brass jacketing from the nose of the bullet rubbing against the fresh Black Oxide & Manganese Phosphate finish in to the chamber.
What a beauty. Best looking sniper of ww2. How does it shoot? Hope to eventually get my hands on one.
Very well with a single post 2 power scope. Ive shot a variety of rounds through it and so far, sako 150 grains do well and Winchester power point 150 grain. Picture shown was with the sakos this past weekend.
