M1 Garand parts kit!!!

[MiniMe]

For the M1 fanatics!!!!
Aztech is now importing parts kit from the US.
The kits have new Criterion barrels, Stocks and everything else but the receiver.

A good option for people that bought receivers from SFRC or other stores in Canada....like me. lol

They also have the Schuster gas plug so you can shoot hot ammo without breaking it.

Even the Americans have to pay through the nose for Garand parts. What would be the going rate for his gas cylinders in CDN funds?

exchange rate + Aztech import fees for parts is my guess

Can't control the exchange rate, but there are no import fees for any Garand Guy parts or firearms.

He's sold out of the gas cylinders for now. send me an email reminder and I'll put you on the alerts list if you want one. $57.00 US would be the price. CDN amount subject to constant change.

Update on Garand Guy. We have four complete rifle and five parts kits coming in on the December import. Prices vary, send me a PM or email for details.

Interested in two or 3 kits, especially if they are 500 dollars. M1 Garand only

Hello?

[lone-wolf]

Those $500 kits on garand guy is for making a BM 59E it seems. What's the difference in parts, might be cheaper getting that, and sourcing a few other parts to make it a traditional garand.

Hello?

For best results, send Marshall an e-mail. You'll find all the contact info at the Aztech link near the top of the page. The sponsors don't always have time to check the forum several times a day, and sometimes a thread gets missed. E-mail or pick up the phone. Aztech is pretty good to deal with so far as personal experience would lead me to believe.

Sorry... took the long weekend off and have been a little slow getting caught up.

the BM 59 is actually a prohib, so it's not really a viable option to build one. I'm not an expert, but I believe it would be hard to make a traditional Garand from one of those kits. The biggest issue is the BM 59 is magazine fed as opposed to the clip. Also, the BM 59 kits come with the 7.62 NATO (.308) barrel, so to build a traditional rifle you would need to get an'06 barrel.
My advice is to go with the regular kit and save the hassle and possible extra expense.

Just talked to Tony "The Garand Guy" and he confirmed that the BM 59 kits are not a good option to build a traditional Garand. As mentioned they come with a .308 barrel for starters and the stock is definitely different to allow for the box magazine. You would need to add a piece back in to the bottom of the stock in order to make the lower plate fit. You would also need to get the proper lower plate and somehow attach it or get a proper trigger group with the plate in place. Plus the op-rod is shorter on the BM 59 so it wouldn't work with a .30-'06 set up.
He did say that he could put together a .308 kit using most of the BM 59 parts and substituting a standard trigger group. The stock would have the extra piece of wood set in place, but it would not necessarily match the rest of the wood, so it might not look too great. It would be more cost than the base BM 59 kit due to the extra work for him to fix up the stock, but if anyone is interested in this option let me know and I'll get you a price.

If I ever get to finishing the garand I'd be interested. I'd rather a .308 I think
No point asking at the moment though, not on my behalf
