welded reciever, is all hope lost?

[Calif-Steve]

The welded receivers have tons of issues. They are commonly made up from out of spec receiver stubs. Pass on it. Buy a new receiver from the CMP and good luck.

at this stage of the game, it would be prudent to get a good receiver from the CMP, and a replacement bbl as well. assuming that the rest of your parts are "real", you would then have a like new shooting m1 garand. btw, most of the sleeved bbls were 2 groove 03a3's sleeved onto an original m1 stubb and reprofiled, milled and threaded. no m1 that i am aware of ever had a two groove bbl.
