Help me date my Garand and its parts

Especially if they are different kinds of wood. Walnut vs Birch will never color the same.

I'm trying to decide between letting DGR refinish and reparkerize and accurize it, or just dropping it into a CMP set of furniture.

CMP stock set is what I would do.

That is a tempting option due to the cost savings, but the thought of having my rifle's metal parkerized, precise fitting to stock and furniture, sight adjustment and a great job on the wood is mighty tempting. I'm not so hot at woodwork

The idea is the wood is just drop in. There shouldn't be a whole lot of wood work to do. Isn't that right Bill? That would be cheap enough. I don't know if you need to re-finish the metal...

Yeah the wood is no-fit from what I have heard.

I think think the finish on the metal is fine. Amsdorf, I'm sure whatever you do you'll be happy. Good luck and have fun with this.

Thanks, Bill. Appreciate it.
