I have an M-1 Garand and the bore has been welded shut. I have a new barrel for it and am wanting someone to remove the old welded barrel and install the new one.
Does anyone out there want this job?

Uncle GrinchI believe the CMP now has a custom shop that does just what you need... among other things.

I can do it for you. I install short chambered barrels on M1's and M14's all the time. Is it just the bore plugged with weld, or is the barrel tacked to the receiver?

Possibly, but I was unable to find it.

Probably a drill rifle; specs called for the barrel to be welded to the receiver; they usually are to varying degrees.

The chamber is welded shut and there is a very light tig on the barrel where it attaches to the receiver.
I have milled the tack away
I can send you the barreled acton fully stripped from the gun and the "new " barrel.
Do you need more than that.....and please PM me with the cost to attach the new barrel.

CMP custom shop charges $75.
Dean's Gun Restorations, CMP, Fulton Armory, and Orion 7 all do tons of Garands
