I've been toying with the idea of buying another Garand sometime this summer and was browing the CMP website.
The idea of getting one of the stripped receivers and building up a rifle (perhaps in .308 this time) sounds like a good long term project.
Question: What would it cost me to do the build beyond the cost of the receiver? It doesn't seem as if there are sources for complete kits the there are for, say, the FAL.....
Is this a practical project to undertake or should I just go ahead and get a rack grade (my current Garand is a VERY nice SA service grade) and re-build it a bit at a time?
