    Garand project Completed

    Just finished up a project I have been working on
    I sent her to Shuffs Parkerizing http://www.shuffsparkerizing.com/ for a repark and twisted on a SA 1952 NOS USGI Barrel

    .
    He also did a trigger job, and lapped the bolt.
    I also got a Boyds Fancy Grade stock. This stock was a lot better size wise than the first one. I just removed alittle wood at the ferrule and smoothed everything up.The rear handgaurd was way over size for some reason and I ended up cracking it trying to thin it to correct shape.
    I was lucky and found a guy that had 3 sets on Wenigs fancy grade handguards at a very good price.
    So it’s a Boyds stock with Wenigs handguards, a real mutt to match the rest of the parts
    Started with 80 grit to shape to size then 100. 150 ,200, 250, 400
    I use two coats of Watco Danish Oil in medium walnut followed by two coats of Johnson Paste wax

    I'm no photographer and the pictures really dont do the rifle justice

    Beautiful weapon.
    Paranoia is more than a personality trait, it's a survival skill.
