IAI M1 Garand with Issues

I just traded a Egyptian Maadi AK-47 for a IAI M1 Garand. Thought i got a great deal even though I never heard of the IAI. So a couple of things. Was this a good trade? Who is IAI? and there appears to be a issue, the barrel appears to be 2 or 3 degrees off. It appears the barrel isn't aligned properly to the receiver. It has a springfield 1964 barrel, a winchester trigger group, stock has no markings but in beautiful shape and the metal is also in great shape, no rust or pitting.

If you are near Cleveland,Ohio I can see what is wrong and tighten the barrel up then head space. Let me know. I can only do it here for one more week then I will be in Hinckley, Ohio Rick B

IAI was here in Houston, they also made M1 carbines. I bought one and the rear sight fell off. Brought it right back and returned it to the dealer. Stick with GI for M1 Garands and carbines.

Well i traded a AK-47 that i got for $25 for it, so i think i got a good deal. But i gotta get the barrel timing straightened out. If i get that fixed it would make a good entry level Garand. Maybe ill get a CMP rifle at some time in the near future, looks like i qualify to purchase one since im active duty Army.
