    Anyone send one of their rifles for a rebarrel job?
    I have an M1 and a 1903 that could use new barrels. What were your experiences?

    I was thinking since they do so much work on these that they would be the most experienced.

    They do excellent work, but I assume they have a long backlog. Rebarreling either of those rifles is easy if you’ve got the tools, so I wouldn’t worry too much about having someone else do it.

    If you come down to the Nations Gun Show in Dulles VA, there is Larry Babcock or the Garand Guy table. He has a work table and all the tools to swap out barrels there on the spot at the show. There is no wait and you can leave your Garand there while you walk around the show or just wait for it to get it done. He is also the author of ( https://www.amazon.com/Garand-Photo-Essay-Larry-Babcock/dp/0578010194 ). So he is very knowledgeable on Garands. And he will work on 1903s as well. If you want his contact PM me.
