I don't know how many of you are members of the Garand Collectors Association and get their magazine but in the past couple of articles they have been doing a series on a Garand they bought from Royal Tiger Imports and then sent it off to Fulton Armory for a complete overhaul.
The most recent issue showed the final product - Fulton Armory basically restored it to like new shooting condition, not collector, all original condition but like new shooting condition. The pics in the article were impressive which got me to thinking..........
I have a February 1943 CMP Rack Grade Garand that came from CMP as a mix master and would be an ideal candidate for a Fulton Armory overhaul.
This past week I had to go up towards Savage for a USCG PHYSICAL so I made arrangements with Peggy to drop it off for the full monte.
I will be sure to post pictures when I get it back but she did tell me to be patient.
I did request that they use SA parts where possible and to replace the IHC bolt with a SA. The rifle came from CMP with an uncut Winchester Oprod which I did ask that they return after the overhaul.
It is the bottom one in the group photo.
