Garand aquisitions and projects.

Parts acquisitions chugs along for my 10-43 SA m1. My friend with more m1 parts than the cmp aside from the minty original SA GAW stock, also pulled a 10-43 barrel with 2 te .8mz readings.
Welp my grandfather's M1 garand restoration back to 100% October 1943 configuration is complete. Parts include original stock, original 1943 barrel (settled for near new 9-43 barrel as 10-43 barrel wouldn't line up right Even with barrel shim), bolt, op rod, trigger group and type 2 lock bar rear sight(had type 3)
Prior to it's restoration
Did some work in table. Added felt strips in holders, added the cof42 k98 bayonet grandfather brought back from ww2, some of my grandfathers patches from 45 years of service, shells from his funeral, and 2 clips full of every mfg m2 ball ammo from ww2 and other odds and ends
Also next project underway. Stock should be a hint. I'll give more later

I'm all set with m1s for now. Nice rifle though.
Well i screwed up my clues for next project. Unless really versed the stock was only hint posted lol.
Anyway have a 2006 cmp M1D that someone totally stripped for parts down to plain receiver and cert
.
I happen to have a box SA stamped stock which is found on m1ds. Also have a SA cone flash hider and m84 scope. Problem will be finding an original scope mount and original barrel. Do have access to a new criterion m1d barrel that will work in meantime.
Baring a unforseen circumstance, this will be my last m1 resurrection/ restoration project.

Going through tubs of parts in storage to start selling off unneeded things (b.a.r. 20 rd mags, mg42 and browning 30 cal belts and links, a barrel ect). I came across this complete new 1944 m7 grenade launcher and m15 sight set I forgot about. Think I'll convert my Winchester M1 to grenade launcher rig as has a repro stock and add variation to my 6 m1s. Need to find a jig to properly drill holes to mount the sight disk in correct spot and angle. Got to dig further as did have grenade projectors dated 1944 and 45 somewhere...
Dedicated grenadier version done. These launcher and sight kits were issued 1944 to 1945 and allowed infantry to go from hurling grenades at a range of like 30 yards in danger range of enemy, to 200 yards out of immediate danger range. Most sights weren't used and discarded due to ability to get caught up on everything, in favor of Kentucky windage.
