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.
