 My 308 M1 Garand build I finally built my M1 Garand in 308. I had a barrel on order from Sarco but it went backorder. I ordered one from E-gunparts and it turned out great. I used a surplus Springfield receiver and all surplus parts that I had on hand. I kept the Sarco barrel on backorder and will probably build another one.  New Barrel and receiver.  Timing the barrel on my lathe.   Just a little more and it's ready to install on the receiver.  Set up to torque the barrel on.    Reaming the chamber.  Chamber reamed and the go gauge fits snug.  No-Go gauge is good.  Receiver is built and Op-Rod is installed.  My 308 receiver block. It's the new ramp for 308 and stops 30-06 from being loaded accidentally.  All together and ready to fire with a new Boyd stock. After firing a couple rounds I need to open up the gas hole in the barrel because it's short stroking the round. This is normal on the 308 barrel because they drill the hole to 30-06 specs. I'll do this in a few days. After getting it firing correct then I will parkerize all the parts that need it.

| Thanks for the complements. I think I enjoy building firearms more than anything. There's really nothing to it if you have the equipment. This is one project I've been wanting to do for many years. I love my Garands and the 308 Garand just makes it just sweeter.

| Once I get my 200 yd range built I'll see how she does. I have a couple guys doing some cutting and buning now.
