Hi guys.
Just wondering if anyone of you owns a ICS GARAND, You probably notice the small difference from the original, like: gas cylinder, Trigger, Sling swivel ecc..
My project is to fully convert the ics in a cooler and mutch realistic GARAND ( AEG ) using parto of the real gun.
just whant to hear your opinions and if anyone tried before me !
CHEERS !
For those of us not too familiar with the Garand, it would be a great help if you could post some side-by-side comparisons between the ICS "Not-Garand" and a real Garand? It'll go a long way towards appreciating your work.
I don't have picture at the moment, but i do have the link of a friend's blog. Probably you know it as well !

this is a good start.
Then i've been around ebay looking for spares and that's what i found... quit good price, with about 100$ you can make your garand look real

I will be nice to change even the stock, but is gonna take long time for various modifications, from mag catch. to wires and motor !
