Has anyone built and M1 Garand? I've noticed the CMP sells stripped receivers. How difficult would it be? Anymore difficult than building an AR? Labor of love?
It's cheaper to buy a complete rifle from the CMP.
Now, if you already had a stripped receiver or, even better, a barrelled receiver, then you could get the parts and do the build. But, add up the cost of the receiver + cost of parts + cost of tools, and you are better off buying a complete rifle.
