7.62 Garand Build

[Orlando]

About 7-8 months ago I picked up a unissued 7.62 Navy barrel on another forum, this was the heart of my latest build .



I installed the NOS barrel on a real nice SA 5.4 receiver ,that I had. Used a NOS 65 Series SA bolt , just needed some lapping to get it to headspace.
I chose a refinished trigger group I had, and did alittle trigger work to it to where it has a nice 5lb pull.
Installed excellent condition USGI NM front and rear sights , balance of the rest of parts are unissued.
NOS Op Rod, NM gas cylinder, 65 series SA bolt, gas screw , lock and internals.
Did some NM mod work to the rear handguard but that's where I decided to leave the rest to the experts. Sent the rifle off to Ted Brown for a bedding job and NM work to front handguard. He remove the liner, glue and screwed lower band to front handguard
I am happy with his work and pleased on how this build turned out
Unfortunately I haven't been able to spend any time at the range with her yet
