Thumbs up ... new barrel for my M1 Garand !
Dookiebutt hooked me up with a new barrel for my 1941 M1 Garand ! It's a March 1951 SA barrel ... and a beauty.

... the chances are slim to none that I'd find another 41' barrel ... but this is great ! Now ... on to the gunsmith to make it all work !

... a trusted (older) gunsmith in Waunakee. You see ... I have a "go-to" guy for gun information that is a walking encyclopedia, photographic memory, etc ... you know the kind. He trusts him with his firearms ... so I'll trust him with my WWII Garand.
