canadian trying to find a decent M1 stock set

[TMB]

I dont know if sarco ships up there or not but they have stocks and parts. if u dont mind the 1/2" they added to stock I think the price is around 50 to 60 dollars i have 2 that are still short on my 7.62 garands the wood grain is pretty they are new with mt stamp on them

What Purple says is correct, keep it in two separate purchases. Buy the stock group followed by the upper and lower handguards.

I know James River was $148 for entire set no metal. I'm sure you could talk to them about splitting the purchase though their price is high compared to others. Though I just looked at mine and they are very nice indeed.

looked awhile ago sarco stock set 69 dollars. they are the 1/2" short ones they added piece to. The wood is really pretty. would be as good as james river except for 1/2" piece they added

Ive got a GI stock for the M1 that I have just started refinishing. Its a postwar stock with not alot of colector value, but would be great for a shooter rifle. It has a "P" in a circle on the grip and a DoD cartouch on the left side. Its a dark walnut stock and could have any finish you desire as I have not put it on yet!! I could also have a handguard set to match it. Let me know if you are interested in it and we can work something out.

Good Luck,
mdrim13

for those that have done it from them how close in color match are they on different orders ??

[browningautorifle]

They aren't too bad, it's better than trying to match up parts obtained separately from gun shows. And they're new. The only thing is, they won't have come from the exact same piece of walnut. Mdrim13 might have a good deal for you there. Unless you're bent on NEW wood.

if u get the unfinished color match would depend on finisher wouldnt it. i think most of the new stocks sold are boyds recontoured and finished both my james river & dupage stocks have boyds stamped in barrel channel.

[fredsbar1]

yes mdrim13 made a great offer to help and i have sent him a PM just waiting to hear back from him.

[fredsbar1]

for those interested I have now heard back from sarco, james river,dupage will not sip tp canada. dgr guns will but their exporter is crazy who is a "gun Dealer" says a stock is part of the frame or action and claims it needs an export licence and will cost an extra 400.00 and take 8 to 12 weeks before it could be shipped for the government paperwork. and garand guy hasnt replied to my email
so options for new wood keep shrinking lol
