M1 Garand - A Blasphemous Question

[Werewolf]

Is there a synthetic stock available for the M1 Garand. Just the main stock not the wood on top or up front?

OK... Now you can whip me, beat me, make me feel cheap! But at least answer the question first.

Yes, I do believe there is a synthetic stock for the Garand.

Brownells sells two complete synthetic stock sets. They don't have the individual parts, but the DPMS one is cheap.

This one is made by DPMS: http://www.brownells.com/aspx/NS/store/ProductDetail.aspx?p=5577&title=SYTNHETIC+M-1+GARAND+STOCK

The other is Bell & Carlson:

Thanks DMK...

I would like to see a Garand in synthetic furniture. Though I guess I just have to picture a long, magazine-less M14/M1A...

This site even has synthetic Garand stocks in CAMO!!!!!!

Bwa-ha-ha-ha-ha-haaaaaaaaaa


Actually, after looking at the site again, the Realtree Camo Garand stocks aren't there anymore.

The 1903A3 are still there, just not the Garands.

But they still have black and woodtech synthetics for Garands...

a black synthetic stock on a hardchromed harand would be retrotactical!

What? A synthetic stock for an M1? I'd shoot one without a stock before I'd puck plastic on it.

I put my new SA M1 in the Bell & Carlson stock. I painted the stock first in woodland camo with some Krylon.

I like it, wish a had a digital camera so I could post picks. I plan on getting an "original M1" anyway. I'll leave that one alone.

Blasphemous? Who cares? It's your rifle, right? I still have the original wood anyway if I want to put it back on.

It is often said that "one gets what one pays for". I have found this to generaly be true.

What is the difference between the two synthetic stocks that Brownells sells.

One is $196 and the other $69.

They look the same to me. Is there something special about the $196 one that makes it worth the extra $130?

it'd make for a really neat partner to an 870 marine magnum...
