well guys i feel kind of down over this. the m-1 i have has a type 1 rear site and the rest of the parts are correct. yes it is not the stock that came with it and the one you see was bought as real from what i was told in the late 80's. sure there are crooks out there and i dont want to sell the garand or break it up for parts. it is just the stock that kills it. where do you find one now at this time?? in any event- thanks for the input.
