My New Winchester Garand....What a stock !!!

[FMJMIKE]

I recently picked up this Winchester Garand off Gunbroker.com. When I received it the stock blew me away....................The color is amazing. What do you think ???

Looks beautiful. You going to shoot it or hang it on the wall to salivate over?

Is that the Copper Hill in Floyd Co? I've got some land in Indian Valley

The color is amazing. What do you think ???

Beet juice does amazing things to walnut. Seriously, any WRA parts other than the receiver?

WOW, that's a fine rifle. Hope it will be a shooter, something that beautiful should be enjoyed to the fullest extent.

 

[NG VI]

Kinda jealous. SHOOT IT!!!

 

[FMJMIKE]

The bolt, receiver, most of the trigger group is Winchester. Barrel is SA 1966 replacement and op rod is SA. Yep............Copper Hill in Floyd County !!! My plan is to salivate for now.............
Thanks Guys...............

Nice rifle !! The color on the stock looks almost exactly the same as some AK stocks I've refinished using Minwax Sedona Red.

How much was it?

 

[FMJMIKE]

Buy Now price was $975...................I guess I had more dollars than sense.............

 

[Ohio Gun Guy]

Very nice!

 

[USSR]

That's not a bad price, FMJMIKE. I had about $850 in mine with just the receiver, bolt, trigger housing, trigger guard, and front sight being WRA. Now, I've easily got twice that in it with the addition of many more WRA parts.

Thats a nice stock is it birch?

 

[FMJMIKE]

Looks like a walnut stock to me.

 

[OpelBlitz]

Nice man!! Price isn't bad; the metal's finish looks pretty good. My "new" Special Grade CMP was $995.

 

[Tim the student]

Mike, that is a great looking stock, and great looking metal. What is the bore like? Shoot it yet?

That's all the photos I took. Here are a few from the seller.

I say you done good!

Your serial # indicates it was made in September of 1943. Interestingly, your serial # falls within a series of 30,000 serial #'s where both Springfield and Winchester made rifles for. So, somewhere there is a Springfield Garand with the same serial # as your Winchester.
