    M1 Garand USGI Jun 1944 Correct Parts

    Hi all.

    When I first bought my Springfield Armory M1icon Garand dated Jun 1944 Serial #2,827,xxx
    it had some BM (Breda Meccanica) parts which I replaced with same parts I could find in militaria markes here or at ebay.com

    I wonder if the following internal parts are correct for the make, year of the rifle.

    Operating Rod Catch / Follower Arm / Follower Assy / Bullet Guide

    Here are the pictures :







    Please let me know, should any of these parts be wrong, which should be the correct ones instead.

    Thank you.

    Congrats on the Garandicon, you will love it and want more. The single bevel follower arm probably should be no bevel. It looks like it is a Winchester piece to me. The other three pieces look fine.

    Just learned how to do that, browsing one US forum. Found a clear picture.

    Bad Stack

    All the toes of the stocks should be facing out, move the one on the right to the other side. Pull them outward more to lock the sight over the barrel and make the stack more stable. Sgt Rodriquez would never have approved that stack in 1960 at Ft Dix, he would have kicked it over, and the three Recruits who made it would be knocking out 50 push-ups
    Real men measure once and cut.

    So that's why the rifles we get are always beat up.

    Do you mean to say that most of the dings, dents and scratches are due to games we play at home with our "toys" rather than real usage during a battle ?
