I think Garand Receivers are common and cheap in Canada. Perhaps you could purchase one for export to Italy. Good luck.

"I have seen this opinion about Danish Garands express on some US gun forums and I think its just an example of American chauvinism - the believe held by some (usually Americans) that if its not made in the USA its not good enough."
I wholeheartedly agree and take advantage of that every chance I get, to the tune so far of five new to almost new VAR barrels! One pleased me in particular, the first one. Got an entire front-end; Barrel(TE-1,ME-1), front handguard(Winchester), narrow-base Gas-Cylinder, Front sight(PB), SA screw, Hardened nut for $125.00 "Cause it's ferrin, ain't SA!"
That barrel is on my Match-Rifle.
The only complaints I've heard about the Danish returns was the replacement wood.I believe they were Beech?:dunno:People used to Walnut don't like the look of Beech,otherwise,reports of Quality were Good.
FWIW & YMMV.
Danish beechwood stocks , VAR barrels and some Italian marked parts are the hallmarks of the classic pure-bred CMP Danes.
They are what are.
:super:
My CMP Danish (VAR barrel) return won two First Place overall plaques at the Ft. Knox JCG Memorial Matches at Scott Mountain KD Range. I am an average shooter, so even though I am not shooting to the potential of the rifle in question, she sure did not let me down.
Got-R-Did
Hi gentlemen! About what I'm reading on your answers (many thanks! for them) I belive the fellows at shooting range were talking about an "unknown matter" or about "a defective" gun, not about a M1 Garand. I am glad about that and I hope my buddy could buy one without "fear". Again many thanks also in the behalf of my buddy, "the brigadier". Anyway all your opinins about this thread are always wellcome. :beerchug:
I think you may be too diplomatic concerning the folk overheard at the range.:rolleyes:
Hi jmoore! We did. We didn't say a word listning them talking about "such a witch"...! ;)Quote:
