Hi Guys,

Bought some real steel wooden parts for my S&S M1 Garand to replace the resin handguards.

Luckily it only need a small amount of shaving off the front collar for everything to fit together. The imitation plastic on the stock is a very similar match to the new wooden parts (that I got off ebay)

Looks very nice Webby. Definatly considering a similar thing for my Garand project, with using a wooden M14 stock. We shall see.

Only snag is M14 wooden stocks are super expensive, and you need to cut them down, and if you buggered it up you're in a world of pain!

True. You can get a few cheap ones (ACM) so i might invest...its just the the quality of the wood thats a concern. got my real Garand stock, which i think i can cut it away as i have a plan..but well you dont get 2nd chances.

I should think so Phil, you'll just need a longer outter and inner barrel for it.

@ BigUK ACM 1s got discontinued ages ago unfortunately, otherwise I would have got 1. I think Cyma do 1, but you have to get the gun with it too.

Here you go! I did post up about this on the U.S players forum a while ago. Almost tempted to get one myself.

Couldn't agree more, the Garand was a superb rifle as well (I've fired a real one!). Also German and Brit squads should have more K98's and Enfields! I just wish the Chinese would see the potential market for these guns. Until we see affordable rifles, people will continue to buy the available smg's.
