Kingston Armory, of Liberty, NY, makes rifles based on the 10/22 action that resemble the M1 Garand and (new for 2015) M14 rifles; indeed, calling them “visually modified 10/22s” is stretching the truth; Kingston Armory makes their receivers in-house from 4140 steel, which helps lend a very correct-feeling heft to the rifles.
From behind, the Kingston Armory rifles really do look convincing; the sights are National Match Garand and M14 sights and are as excellent as the originals, which really takes these guns out of “visual clone” territory and makes them trainers in their own right. In fact, the guns feature many new-production Garand and M14 parts, including stock fittings, gas blocks, sling swivels, etc. - See more at: http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2015/01/20/kingston-armory-m1-garand-m14-1022-rifles/#sthash.fZmP6w5u.dpuf Source Looks pretty sweet! A bit too pricy for my taste ($700), but certainly would be a good companion for an M1/M1A but cheaper to shoot. |

If one shoots service rifle matches these would be good for training.

Very cool, although too pricey at $700 IMO. Costs as much a real Garand from the CMP.

Cool concept, but for $700 I think I would prefer something more than a Ruger mag glued to the bottom of the "magazine" portion of a trigger housing. And it is hard to tell from the pictures, but the rear sight almost looks like a hunk of plastic attached to the receiver. Would have been nice to see it machined as part of the receiver, since they are claiming to make them in house.
