Hi Fellas,
I've got some questions for you Garand Guys and wouldn't mind some feedback.
I got my first M1 a while back. I was able to finally bite the bullet and pay good money for one. It's a Winchester receiver with some Winny parts, and a SA barrel that's supposedly shot out (M3, T5 ?) Every one said to shoot it before making any decisions about it's accuracy. I haven't shot it yet, but I came across a Criterion (M2, T1) for dirt, so I'm changing out the barrel. While I'm at it I've got virgin Boyds furniture, and I'm going go give a try on bedding it properly. The stock wood isn't Winchester but I don't want to hurt it, it's tiger striped.
My question is, what other bits should I replace while I'm at it? Even if certain springs and rods are Winchester part numbered, they'll still make serviceable spares. Thanks in advance, PAX
