Do yourself a favor and do it your self.
Lots of youtube vid on Garands and what ever you spend on tools will be less than the cost of the smith. |

What kind of barrel? A chromelined barrel? You can't mess with a chromelined barrel. You'll need to check headspace for sure to verify everything is good to go.
I think every post here I say this, and I think I'm starting to become a unofficial spokesperson for this company, but call up fulton armory and have them ship you a box so you can mail your garand to them. It will be pricey since they'll do a technical inspection and they'll likely rarely call you up to explain things but they do a great job on their own. Other smiths you can call are like Shuff who might have better communication than Fulton would. I have heard a lot of great things about him. Check out this page: http://shuffsparkerizing.com/services/m1-garand/ he can replace the barrel for 75 bucks if you provide it to him. |

If you never plan on rebarreling another Garand its much cheaper to pay someone else to doit than buy your own tools
I highly recommend Shuffs Shuffs |

yes i did end up with the armslist m1 and i got it looked over and the only thing is wrong is a barrel with a gauge of 4 or 5 i cant remember.And the guy that looked it over it said i was luck that the only thing is wrong is the barrel
and i looked up some of the numbers and from what i found is the trigger is from the 60s i think but everything else is from the 40s the barrel is from 44 and i would like to get a barrel form the same year but if not its whatever also i have been looking around and the gunsmiths that are around me dont fix up m1 but mosins which is a mind fuck |

You'll be WAY better off sending it to the CMP custom shop and having them install a NEW Criterion barrel. The gun is a mixmaster and there is no reason to go to the extra expense of finding a low ME/TE date correct barrel. Not only would it take a while, but it will be way more expensive. Also, do yourself a favor and go shoot it first. I have had 5 gauged barrels that shoot great, though that is the exception. If you were in Oklahoma, I would help you rebarrel it yourself. Good luck.

also my friends wants to see if there is a way to make the m1 take box mags that are in 30-06?
i have found 1 that take bar mags but instead of BAR mags something more modern that would be more easier to find and still keep the 30-06 ammo? plus does any body know about these guys |

Your link is broke, so I have no idea who you are asking about. The answer to the box mags is no. You could build a BM59, but will cost a bunch to have the receiver modded and would ruin any value.

Yes Sage is very well regarded in M1A circles, but I doubt your going to get a bunch of people to agree that you should stick a Garand in a Sage chassis. I think you should have gone the M1A route to begin with. The Garand is a WWII service rifle. It is a classic rifle that has no business in a metal chassis or being converted to take box mags. It's your money and your gun, so you can do whatever you like. SMH
