[ARCHIVED THREAD] - First Garand

I just picked up a Garand at the gun show yesterday. It is kinda rough. I stripped it down and found a crack in the op rod. The gas tube has seen better days too. Where is a good place to get these parts? I would post a pic but it is in pieces. Thanks guys.

I've ordered from the first three and been satisfied with what I got.

Are you sure it is cracked? Where? That is very unusual.
There are gauges for gas cylinders, check the tolerances in
my book or Duff's...AR Specialties makes a nice gauge. I wouldn't
jump to conclusions, these are expensive and perhaps unusual parts.

I would post a pic of the suspected "crack". Many experienced Garand guys on here and a few of us machinists that are pretty knowledgable about metals too.

Garand parts are showing back up on Ebay too.
