Thanks!

I disassembled and cleaned the rifle and installed the catch and spring this morning, then went to the range to sight in. I had to adjust the front sight a little but here's a picture of my target...
Would you think I should replace it anyway? It looks like I can get a catch and spring fairly easily...I just wonder if I might also need the bolt head release stop and screw? I haven't...

I asked this question in an older Garand forum thread yesterday, but figured it might be better to ask in this one as a new thread. When I got my Garand a few months ago I knew very little about the...
I lucked up and got a Garand at an estate sale a few months back only because the bidding was low and slow and I figured what the heck make a bid...and I got it. Since then I have been learning...
Hello all, I've found a lot of good info on this site since I lucked out and got a Garand at an estate sale a few months back. It started out as a deal I couldn't pass up and now I can't stop...
