Thing is they cant find other Garand parts and if they do they pay a heck of alot more than we do. The cheap receivers arent any good without the rest of the parts
Your spot on about parts. Op-rods, clip latch, op-rod catch. Top three parts in short supply and getting pricey. Whatever was left for the boys up North with the cheap PB/BMB receivers is evaporating since the $125. CMP receivers hit the market. CMP has the parts. Not so much for anyone else.Quote:

They are equal if not better than USGI, post war instead of wartime production, all the bugs worked out, ect.

Good luck with that. BTW, you can only fit two at a time. I tried
Getting them in there is the easy part if you use enough lube. Best to use KY instead of cosmolene.Quote:

Honey I'll bring a hundred BMB receivers.
Freddie Mercury, Rock Hudson, Liberace-all could have pulled it off. Just wondering. Who do you think got hit in the face with more balls-Yogi Berra or Liberace?
How about a giant slingshot and sling them over the boarder?:)
I have a few...

;) Keep rubbing it in Fluff. And now the rumor is you guys are getting 50k Korean Garands.
I just checked and my favorite shop only has 36 Breda receivers left. I think I should order a few more today. I don't want to caught short.
You ever shoot your rifles or just collect receivers?
I am shooting this rifle tomorrow. It is a Swiss K31 that was re barrelled in .308 in Switzerland
