I got this Garand about nine months ago from the CMP. It's a 1955 Springfield with mostly matching parts.
One crack starts in the right corner of the magazine well farthest away from the trigger. It's about a four inches long and it's a clean break. I also have two two-inch cracks right behind the clip latch.
I'll admit that the stock looked rough when I got it, but it cleaned up nicely. I'd like to keep the stock in order to keep the rifle period correct, but I'm beginning to question the overall strength of this stock.
Should I fix the stock or replace it?
FYI: It was never put in the dishwasher.
