new stock

alraicer · 08-11-2006, 04:12 PM

I just got a new garand at of all places a garage sale! The barrel is rust free and the bore is shiny. How ever the stock has some large cracks and gouges and many smaller scratches and dents. I am looking for a descent and not to expensive wood stock for it and I don't mind if I have to finish it my self. Thanks

Maybe ebay would have some. i see they have a lot of stocks there for different rifles, aftermarket and military.

How much did you pay for it?

You could try here for used M1 stocks:

(I've not done business with 'em, but their reputations seems pretty good.)

Alternatively, both Brownell's and Midway have sold Boyd's replacement stocks in the past. Some folks don't like 'em, as they may have dimensional issues. I have one Boyd's stock, and it works just fine for me.
Cheers,
Ben

check out deans gun restorations. it may cost a little more than a boyds, but the quality is much better.

Another suggestion is to see if Stock Doc, one of G&G's best stock rebuilders, would work on your stock. Pictures of some of his quality work can be found in "search" on G&G.

Another possible source is is CMP: http://odcmp.com

I have one of these; it seems to work just fine in a "shooter."

Cheers,
