Cheaper by far, I think, to re-barrel a tired Garand; Wilson makes a very good barrel which I buy when on sale at Midway. I have done several and they are great shooters, but with a bit sharper kick....

You can get lucky; I got an original finish, pre-war receiver and win stock on the last bunch of RG's they had. Was also very dirty and dinged up.
