My Italian Army M1 Garand rifles

[Rick B]

Thank you for sharing and would love to have them in my collection. I noticed they ground the receiver flatter to accept more letters from the rebuild stamping. I also noticed on the 75 rebuild it looks as if they put the barrel in upside down after they recut for the 7.62. I wonder if it was for the shape or just that they cut it upside down? Or did they taper the underside for the op rod once shortened? Very nice collection and my Grand mother is from Campobasso Italy and at 96 is still with us. Anything Italian has a part of my heart.
