Anyone know of a Smith who can do a accurizing job on my Garand? Trigger job, Bedding barrel ect...

Carl did some work on mine and I fully recommend him.

We are lucky to have such a great Garand gunsmith in our back yard here in NJ.

Did you see that...I found a silver lining to being a gun guy in NJ.

thanks for the info!!

I just sent him an email.. Do you remember the cost?

If you do that stuff, you can't (legally) shoot it in John C Garand CMP matches. Some other match types maybe. Why not just shoot it as is, for awhile before screwing up doing all that stuff to a perfectly fine rifle.

I only had Carl go over my M1 to ensure Safety as it was new to me and had sat for untold years.

 

He also did a complete NM job on my M1A and while I am new to the M1A I know a good trigger job when I feel one and he knows how to make these wood rifles sing. I remember the work was nowhere near free, but I can also tell you that I don't miss the money as much as I would miss his work if I ever got ride of my M1A.

 

What you plan to do with your rifle and how you want to use it are big questions that only you can answer. If you decide to have your rifle tweaked then Carl's work is more than worth the cost. Personally I have a thing for a perfectly tuned machine, and I am happy with mine.

 

I hope to also make use of my M1A in competition one day, but I believe the limitation others are referring to only effects the stock M1 matches (I may have the wrong terms, but I think we all understand).

 

Congrats on a great choice in rifle and most of all...enjoy it however you see fit...hopefully with much shooting.

Also make sure the trigger guard lugs are nice and round and check the lockup of the stock. It should take some force to close the trigger guard on a assembled rifle

Carl is a good friend and he is fully cognizant of what can and can't be done as far as competition. He is a highpower shooter himself and is well regarded in those ranks. Anything from a safety check to an all out accurizing, you won't be disappointed.

 

If you take it to him - we can all get together up the street at Starbucks.

 

Adios,

But is he a gunsmith............?

Absolutely - but with a specialization

I contacted the Major. He gave me a quote and all i need to do is save up for him to do the work!!! thanks for the help guys!
