Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Mausers and Military Rifles M1 Garand restoration

Don't know if this has been posted before or not but pretty cool.

Most of those channels are officially agent before they do the restoration, so it's not actually much of a miracle.

Thanks for posting, very good video.

I am a Garand enthusiast, and have an IHC I brought back from the dead. Replaced everything but the receiver. Barrel was pitted so bad the case neck seized up in the chamber and tore off from the rest of the case, op-rod was wore out, had a Ramline stock, and the sights were shot. Spent some time and money on it, but it is operating perfectly today.

Don't know what "officially agent" means and yeah not a miracle, just thought it was pretty cool that they spent the time trying to bring it back. I've been into that kind of stuff my whole life, would much rather build or restore than buy new.

Pretty cool and you can take great satisfaction knowing you did the work. I only have one, from the CMP. Took it apart before ever shooting it and did some accuracy tips and light polish work to the trigger group.

I would have used a lot more of the Kroil and oil in disassembling it but it’s amazing what one can do with the right tools and skill.

Like reanimating an old corpse.

They made Six-Million of'em.

Autocorrect got the better of me. That was supposed to be "artificially aging them", not "officially agent"

Gotcha, I thought it was only the Rat Rod guys that did that lol

I am rebuilding a 4 digit Garand. Thankfully, it didn't start out in that condition.
