My all Beretta M1 Garand in 7.62x51mm
Just got back from Shuff's my Beretta M1 Garand in 7.62x51mm (1/2" short). This project rifle has been going on for the past 3 years. I was finally able to aquire the last few missing parts to complete the project. Every part is marked "PB" except for the barrel (a SA shortened and rechambered by the Italians), and the stock (marked MT).
Most of the PB parts I got back when the CMP was still selling Danes less wood. The remaining parts came from Andy in Italy, E-Bay, Gunbroker, gun shows, and some excellent members on this board and Culvers.
The stock and handguards were new in the wrapper. The op rod in marked 7.62x51mm on the side and is made by Beretta as well. The hardest part to get was the rear sight aperture.
Many thanks to Shuff's for the fast and excellent work (total of 1 week from me shipping it to him, getting the work done, and sending it back to me.)
Heading to the range tomorrow for break in and sight in.
This almost rounds out my collection of Italian M1 Garands.
