The ford in a chevy debate doesn't work.
If ford built exactly the same engine that chevy did for exactly the same car, then you could say that, because it would be the same part from a different manufacturer.
Apples and oranges.

I don't believe that manufactures did not swap parts. What makes us think that during the war the the only end result was to put a functioning rifle in the hands of a soilder.
I don't believe that there was only one person stamping rifles. Who really cared about the positioning of the acceptance cartouche, what it looked like etc... What tell me that this one person worked 365 days a year and 24 hours a day. Come on!
I don't believe that any rifle is actually correct in the sense that it is original from the factory. Someone had to open the packaging to check serial numbers etc. The military is ever so anal about paperwork and serial numbers of weapons.
I don't belive that there is a true expert on the Garand. What is fact today often proves incorrect tomorrow.
I don't believe that the manufactures did everything to see that all the parts used matched up with the manufacture date of the rifle.
OH one more comment. I am sure this thread will create a debate.
I believe If it's mine it's correct.If it's someone else's it's not correct. RIGHT?
I believe for every drop of rain that falls a flower grows. RIGHT?

Jeff, The mods will write on your report card that you don't work and play well with the other children. The thoughts of a Jap air cleaner on my Harley is sickening, I've already been to the garage to make sure it was OK.Quote:

I believe that most of the nice WWII cartouched stocks are in the basements of the CMP armorers.
So true. I've talked to a few old-timers about how all the returns from South America suddenly lost all their Winchester rear sights, etc when still in CMP storage. I've also heard stories about CMP armorers being canned for buying the collector-grade garands for cheap and then selling them at the local gunshot for a mint. I will mention no names.Quote:

I don't believe that a new op-rod spring from Orion7 will magically fix what ails your M1.
