Used my parts kit(what is odd here ?)

I'm not talking about the 7.62 conversion.This is My last parts kit and I wanted to use it.I don't have the 1/45 barrel on,but have it.Op rod is uncut-9 flat.I don't have op rod spring and follower rod in right now BTW.

I have never seen one with the 7.62-2 marking on the receiver like that. I have seen the side of the op rod marked 7.62 and the sight spring cover marked the same way. Did you mark the receiver?

No,I believe it was the Italians.Wish it wasn't marked in such a way though.

Well it will make a good shooter. I tend to shoot my 308 more so than my 06 as ammo is cheaper and at this point the recoil for the kids is lighter, but my daughter informs me the the M1 was designed as an 06! She weighs about 115 lbs and handles the recoil quite well.BTW if you have a feed problem get the spacer as it keeps the ammo in line in the enbloc during recoil.

Humpy
As my 308 can not in anyway be considered "correct" I have a scope mount I am going to use on it and see if my shooting improves! Also the leather cheek piece. That way if I lose my front sight I can still shoot. Darn bifocals.

Ryan, why does it look like the barrel is not indexed? Optical illusion? Stu

Damn! Beat me to it Kid. The feed-guide at the bottom of the chamber should be at 6: 00( Indexing-20 minutes before straight up).

so far there has been some fine detective work,but no one has nailed down all of it.I have left some clues in the pictures.The barrel is not indexed because it is only hand tight.I just threw everything together for pics,and I do have the 1/45 barrel that I bought off of O to go with the 3.4-5 million range Receiver that I'll have someday,as almost everything is"correct"for that range....just using what I have on hand.

Gosh,if I can't even get guesses I'll just post the answer!last chance.

Oh Mr. Wilson

Ryan,

Is that a milled grove on the reciver? Is that how they removed the Cal. .30 M1? I never have seen one marked like that.

not sure if it is milled,or Rolled.It is perfect,and I can see the Ghost of cal.30M1 in the right light.

Ryan, the inside of the receiver looks welded up to make a feed ramp-or is that an optical illusion?

OK, that's obviously not a GAW stock so why does it have a GAW cartouche?

The very bottom pic in your #2 post shows the edge of the cut.....now that the answer is out, is a lot more obvious.....

Yes,and My very last picture actually shows the Front half of the Rifle,just below the Trigger housing assembly,but I posted about My Dirty Fingernails to throw People off ;)

To bad it was cut like that as I know some one who might have put it back in shape. Front half is good,rear is destroyed! A real loss to the M1 collectors and just admirers of the Garand.

It is truly heartbreaking,I know.I wish I had a rear that was just cut and would match up,but all the ones I can find are sheared :(

You are very sneaky, sneaky sir.
