Another 7.62 Garand Build Post

Just assembled a Garand that I used the Navy 7.62 Barreled Receiver
Nothing special, just hoping for a good shooter. Hopefully get to try her out tomorrow, still have some bugs to work out of the trigger pull

Bore is perfect, shiney no pitting MW 1. I was afraid to mail order because of grade description and didnt have time to get to the NS so I had a friend handpick it for me. Havent read any reports yet of any barrels being worn as description says ,who knows?

Nice! Did you lap that bolt though? :)

I didnt use 308 gauges like you suggested because I'm cheap and someone loaned me 7.62 gauges
Closed on Min gauge 1.6355
Didnt close on max gauge 1.6455
put a piece of celephane tape on 1.6355 gauge and lug was up of the receiver about the thickness of the tape
So figured must be around 1.6365" or 1.6375
Sound right to you??????

Took it to the range today ran 4 enblocs or German DAG Surplus through it and it was starting to group real well (better than any of my 30.06 Garands) Then accuracy started going down the tube. Ran a few more through it and gave up discussted. Just figured my eyes were getting tired
When I got home to clean I noticed the gas screw was loose, what a rookie mistake
