Winchester Garand receiver.

I think we are very lucky to have the options we have for Garands, we can build on cheaper Italian receivers, and end up with very nice end products, or spend a little extra and buy as US receiver. These receivers can then be built up with Italian parts or USGI, or what ever the builder wishes or their budget allows. We have a lot of options when it comes to building Garands.

^. And for this I am so thankfull.

I'm afraid if I buy a garand receiver of any kind I'll need to seek professional help with my already compulsive disorder I've aquired building my own M14 rifles for the past decade n a half LOL

And on whose authority?, has it been deemed that Garand related compulsive disorder is such a bad thing?.

I have changed my mind, I look at all of the NOS parts I have squirreled away, and I am going to build this receiver up with NOS parts; I know its the easy way out but the end result should be a nice tight crisp rifle.

^. Yes.

I'm new to the garand world, and can state definitively, that these last 14 months of building, and now shooting this first PB of mine ... have been the best of times indeed.
The rifle is a treasure.
fellow's !
