Garand? Finding a barrel will be the hard thing right now IMO. I would try Orion 7, they list a package at $600 that might fit your needs
https://www.m1garand.com/shop-services/ I've never used them myself. I have used Fulton Armory to rebarrel M1 Carbines and been very happy, but they are severely backlogged right now. Looks like 5 months there for Garands. https://www.fulton-armory.com/M1-Garand-Services.aspx Looks like they have barrels in stock and looking like $500ish with return shipping If you can find a local smith who could do it that might be faster. |

I recently bought a WRA barrel to put on my WRA receiver. I have the tools to do the job but it will definitely be a fall/winter project.

I don't really understand why, but I have a tremendous reluctance to ship my rifle off to a company for six months or a year awaiting a rebarreling.
If I bought & rented the tools, it might cost more but it would get done right away. |

If I bought & rented the tools, it might cost more but it would get done right away. Why isn’t the correct answer to send your M1 to Tim @ Shuff’s Parkerizing for a quick turn-around? He built my .308 Mini-G and had it back to me in 90-days. A simple re-barreling job, assuming you also send him a new barrel to install with the rifle, could be done in 30-days. That includes finish-reaming and cleaning up the chamber, if it needs it. Now that’s just for the re-barreling work … If Tim’s got to chase down a new barrel for you, and none are source-able due to backlogs, lack of inventory, and/or supply-chain issues, then you’ll have to wait for as long as it takes for him (or you) to find one. But that’s not on him. He’s not a barrel-maker. Shuff’s Parkerizing: 517-896-0523. You can thank me later.

Try reaching out to John Thomas at retro arms works. He does museum quality work at reasonable prices with a quick turnaround time.

From their web site info, I could not tell if Krieger had them available or not. |

What are you looking for?
I have some new criterion 308s in stock. And some lightly used USGI 30-06 ones. |

That was the only place I could find them. My Springfield is essentially a musket at this point it will swallow a 30cal bullet at the muzzle. |

All they need is to be installed competently by someone who’s experienced and thus knows what they’re doing. Why I recommended Tim @ Shuff’s Parkerizing, but there are other M1-knowledgeable ‘smiths out there who could do it too. If the OP has access to any current copies of the GCA Journal, the Classifieds in the back under “Services” frequently have ads by ‘smiths who can do barrel work. |

The rifle is a blue sky and is in desperate need of a complete refinish. I saw on his website he was limited/ out of barrels that's why I went ahead and purchased the one I did. |

I had my Fulton M14 receiver barreled at Accuracy Speaks in Mesa, AZ. At least one of the guys used to be a High Power shooter, and they did a brilliant job on mine.

Adco did mine. Great job, with a 1-day turnaround a few years ago.

I may have to get Jeremy to rebarrel mine. I hesitate to do it, but I have tons of 308 and like 200 'o6. Can't even shoot it much before I run out and last I checked 06 is over a buck a round. I can save the 06 for my o3A3 that I rarely shoot.

I'd just like to take advantage of the 308 ammo I have. Considered sending it to Shuff, he's done stuff for me before and very fast turn around, but I'm hesitating on modifying my last M1....
