Well I picked up a M1 Garand 7.62 x 51 barreled receiver.
Springfield Armory - 1943
Barrel is unused and from May 1965.
Three bolts failed the Field check on the gauges but I was able to get a new bolt that works fine. Top one.
I have two sets on National Match sights and one regular sight that I can use.
I had a gas cylinder with the front site but it was worn so I opted to track down some new old stock parts.
Now surfing the net to find the remaining parts. I am in no rush so I will take my time and get the best parts for this.
