I am just playing devil advocate here but it is possible that this guy built the rifle out of M1 Garand parts. CMP has been selling receivers and drill rifles for a while now. And it should also be noted that what he made was a replica of the Berretta BM-59. The Italians modified many M1 Garands in the same way after WWII. Sarco used to sell BM-59 kits that included everything you would need to modify an M1. So actually it does have a historical background.

Bingo. I believe you are on the right track.

That's not really Bubba'd. If it was dremeled, duct-taped, camo'd, railed, mega-scoped, etc., then I would say it is Bubbalicious.

I see that as flipping awesome! It's a one-of-a-kind type of item.

yeah seriously they made zillions of garands, they should be priced like mosins instead of gold. great rifle, sure, greater than the mosin? hmmmm. besides, the owner of the rifle is entitled to dick it up however he sees fit. i've not personally perpetrated any such things yet, but i'm working on one. i also like to rescue sporters, some to restore, some just because i like them the way they are and are good shooters.

[joelberg]

that would look much better without the pistol grip.

EXACTLY what I was thinking. The concept of this is pretty cool IMO, but yeah I'd have to pass on this one.

Dude Garands and Mosins should never be mentioned in the same sentance. Mosins are lamp stands next to a rack grade garand anyday

Oh gawd, how terrible, he put a shoulder thing that goes up on it.

[Schlyme]

I think it would definitely look awesome without the pistol grip. Might be worth trying with a rack grade M1

There's a guy on another board that did it by lengthening FAL mags to accept 30-06, and kept the Garand sock. That is a really cool gun, Garand looks, M1A function and ease of reloading, 30-06 awesomeness and 30 round magazines, because 30 is 10 better than 20. All it's missing is the "ping" when you empty the mag.

Most Garands will likely never be big money collector's items, so why not tune mod them a little bit to make them better suit your shooting? $3000 is way too much money, but if you can't do the work yourself, you're not going to have that built for under $3000 so it may make some sense to the right buyer.

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

Well done, Sir, well done!

That's tits looking compared to retarded-azz ugly as Moisin sporters floating around this board.
