M-1 Garand Barrel replacement

I'm with the Major,

I have replaced several barrels on M1s & M14/M1As. I wouldnt use any thing but Barnets barrels.

I used them on my Rifle Teams (AK NG) M14s.

Also, if you can get him to do it, Gene doe's excellent work on converting standard M1As into Super Matches. He did mine. My only complaint is you cant get Bishop stocks anymore.

When I picked up Hatcher's Notebook back in the 60s I also picked up his book Book Of The Garand. I valued both books due to the fact that Hatcher was there when the rifle was being developed. His brother even had a competing model that was sidelined.

10 years ago I traded into a Garand and the fella threw in everything he had with the rifle. Included in all the gear were 2 books:

1) Duff's book The M1 Garand:Owner's Guide

2) Kuhnhausen's book The U.S. .30 Caliber Gas Operated Service Rifles Vol. I & II.

I noticed that the Kuhnhausen book was pretty detailed in gunsmithing and customizing. Perhaps this might be a good book to get for reference. There are sure a lot of pictures and schematics along with special tooling you can make.

Just a thought.
