Navy 7.62X51 Garands

Recommended Posts

When other services went to M14s, Navy decided to rebuild the Garand to 7.62X51. Pretty rare with 3 different barrels. Receivers were pulled from rifles that needed rebuild. This is a copy of a listing that just sold.  Rare CMP MK2 Mod 0 Springfield Barreled receiver USN Mod 0 1.7M serial with original correct 5-43 SA Barrel with H&R mod markings. Muzzle is slightly over 2+ nice bore and rifling. Comes with original hang tag - I have the cert somewhere if/when I locate it I will provide to buyer. Asking $900 + ship... Payment discreet PP FF, USPS Money Order, Personal Check. Standard forum rules apply - first "I'll take it" gets it...

This Springfield Armory M1 Garand rifle was originally made back in 1943. Its barreled receiver was converted to a 7.62mm NATO chambered M1 MK2 MOD 0 between 1962 and 1965. The conversions were done as a Navy contract by Harrington & Richardson Arms. The M1 Garand Mk2 MOD 0 barreled receiver was purchased from Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) in 2012.

Those look great.  More sourced from the Garand forums?  I really gotta get on there to keep an eye out for one...

 

Gotta remember, I am retired, so get pick of posts. As soon as these were posted, I jumped on them. Very rare and did not want the MOD 0 that has a barrel liner conversion. These are full barrel swap conversion.

Let me know if you find a nice shooter for a good price (sub $1k), I'd appreciate it :)

It seems that the going price on garands has gone up. There is a barreled receiver that I have been watching for 790.00 plus shipping.  But most now are running 1200+

    • We never let then inside.  Last re-evaluation was 6-7 years ago, wife politely told him that he was welcome to look around the property and he could look in the windows. He saw two white resin chairs in the basement and told her that this constituted a finished basement. And everything in the basement is bare concrete/ cinder block, and mechanical systems. Nothing finished about it. Ultimately he relented and I'm sure that was a ploy to coerce us to allow him in
    • I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html
    • The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam 
    • I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.
    • Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
