    BIll

    I never knew Bill but had a Carbine collector friend who knew Bill and didn't anything but good things to say about him. He will be missed.

    Being I am 77 years old I remember all those different M1s. I owned a welded receiver with a welded 2 groove barrel. It worked just fine and fired about any 06 that I put through it. We didn't have...

    Looks mostly correct from the photos you have shown. Maybe the other owner thought he could help the trigger pull with the later parts.

    What He Said

    I agree with what Jim just said. I remember my first Garand it not only had a "welded" but also a welded barrel. That was in the late 70s. I shot any 30-06 I could get. Back then we didn't know...
  6. S'G' Receivers

    I would like to see the right side of the 3639 rec. I think it is just a S.G. receiver sent to S'G' to help them finish their contract. I have S'G' 3637--- and that is what it is you can tell by the...

    Thanks

    That may not be anything we want. But it is a lot better than sending it through " captain crunch".

    Repo?

    I think the repo bayonets had leather handles too. Not 100% sure I never bought one but I did buy a repo M3 it was for sure leather handled. A lot of rebuilt bayonets were re-imported in the 90s that...

    Slide?

    Pull your slide off and look inside the bottom of the box for marking. I think it will probably be PI for Inland. I agree with the others as well as your metal parts color match I wouldn't change any...
  10. DO IT

    I am a carbine guy and I would trade. Back in the 70s when I first got into carbines it was almost impossible to find Garands. The only ones were from the DCM and they said then one Garand was worth...

    Live Auctions?

    I am glad to see the live auction posting are shown. I think the forums that don't show them are missing a great teaching tool. They seem to think to many sellers would promote their own sells and...

    The Garand Stand?

    For several years I also received "The Garand Stand" not as slick GCA, but it had a lot of good information about M1s. Are they still printing a news letter? I don't remember receiving anything from...
  14. Nice Rifle

    I don't see any red flags. The screws may have been removed and lost after it was disembled to box up to send home.
  15. No steelwool

    Don't use steel wool or stainless steel wool or you will remove blue. Get some bronze wool and a brass brush then you won't remove any blue. It will leave a brass film but with a little oil and work...

    Series 35?

    Your series 35 will be much easier and cheaper to restore than the series 1 was. It will be a last ditch rifle all series 35s are. You won't need a rear sight with wings, a dust cover or a monopod as...

    Stock?

    That very well could be the original stock they were made like that in 1918. Although it looks like it has been sanded hard. If the numbers in side match I would say it was original.

    I think if you will check the copyright dates you will find Ruth's first book is older than Riesch's book. Ruth just had access to more and better information.

    I agree the Inland has a lot less repo than the S'G' does. However they both are put together and not near original as manufactured. Those repo parts on the S'G' are a rear turnoff, more so than...
