Frequent disassembly is the kiss of death to an accurate Garandicon. The accuracy is determined by how tight the lock up is. If it takes 10 men and a small horse to close the trigger guard you are in the ball park. Not so with a carbine. The barrel/receiver is just hanging off of the recoil plate and front band. probably one of the reason it isn't a tack driver. Deteriorated wood has little effect on accuracy, where with the Garand, it is the key to the kingdom.
