I shoot matches occasionally but I am a connoisseur of the Black Rifle!. I would like to build my first garand for matches. I have owned garands in the past but now Im starting from scratch.

Here is what I would like to do...

I would like to build a file for shooting matches but I want it to look unique and of course be a tack driver. I do not care if it is collectible or not as its value to me will be as a shooter. What areas do I need to concentrate on? I was thinking of starting with just a receiver or maybe a barreled action. I know I could go with a CMPicon garand ( I have in the past) but I would like to see what I get since I would like the receiver to be in good shape with clear stampings. What components would you recommend? What should I watch out for? Anyone know of a good place to get a receiver?

Thanks in advance
