Hello all,
This is my first post on any site like this, so bare with me. I'm not very computer friendly! Any who, thanks for letting me join!
I have a Springfield M1 Garand laying around (I know, laying around!), So I making taking the big step of converting it to the Mini-G. The rifle has a few issues that need to addressed with the rifle before it is ready to punch holes into square pieces of paper. The first is a barrel but I'm going with the 7.62 in the conversion so thats not an issue. Second is that my op rod needs a new lug and piston. Should I replace this before I send it out or does the conversion replace the op rod? The next question I have is do I refinish the wood stock before or after the converstion. This may not be a question if I do not need to send the furniture with it, I can't find an answer on the order form. I assure you that it may very well be there in plain site but I am not very observant when guns and women are around to destract me! Any other helpful information that anyone has about the process would be greatfully appreciated!
Thanks, John
