Today...I received my M1 Garand Barrelled Receiver from CMP..
I was flabbergasted...
The BARREL appears to never have been fired..It is a heart stopper..
The RECEIVER is in the 2 million range..and is over 90%..just normal markings from in and out of the stock !!!
Reminded me of old CAMP ELLIOTT in San Diego ..building Rifles with Don McCoy.. BEAUTIFUL !!
I will be building a rifle with it..in NEW wood - with all the proper markings for the period.. As a former Government Armorer who built MANY M21 Rifles and MATCH Rifles, not to mention many - many M14 and M1 Rifles.. .. I still have all my proofing stamps for the stocks..and barrels..
It was manufactured as a .308..not one of the "sleeved" barrels..
Anyone else order one of these..??? Hope you do as well as I did... DIEVIL
