I sent my HRA M1 Garand off to Tim Strait (warbird here on TFL & BR) week before last and just got it back today. To say that I am pleased with the result would be an understatement. Tim did a totally fantastic job, and at a great price too. Really a nice looking dark park job. A very rich dark color, almost black. Very nice indeed! 8)

Thanks for the great work Tim, you did a bang-up job & and I couldn't be happier with the rifle!

Aloha Quag,

Dang, that is really AWESOME!!! Nice is an understatement!

Is that an original HRA stock?

Good job to you and Tim!!! Very Cool!

Aloha,

Hi Tom,

Thanks!!

Yup, I'm pretty sure it's an HRA stock. Dunno if it's original to the rifle or not, although I suspect it may be. The rifle had not been through an armory rebuild and the stock had never been sanded or refinished - so it's at least possible that it's original.

Best,
JP

Saweeeet!
That's one great looking garand. I love that color on the repark, nice and dark. Do you have a long waiting list Warbird?

That ole girl looks darn good in that stock.
Now I know what my 2 M1's will look like (I hope ), that is when I find time to get them done. So much work to do and more coming too. :mrgreen:
