So who makes an awesome Garand Reciever? I would like to put a m1 rifle together as a project. I Would prefer a new FORGED reciever but im not aginst a used one.

I don't think anyone makes a NEW forged rec. for the Garand. Any USGI rec is forged though and you can find them all over.

Who then makes the best recievers?

Springfield Armory (USGI not the new company)
Winchester Repeating Arms Company
Harrington & Richardson Co.
International Harvester

Any of those should be as good as the other. Any modern rec is sub par compared to them IMHO.

I don't think anyone is making new forged receivers.  Only Springfield and their cast recievers.  LRB is making M1a's, but not garands that I've seen.

you can get a rack grade or service grade Garand barreld receiver from CMP (all the way down.)

You can also from time to time get them thru CMP. They had some about a year ago that were pulled from rifles that were stored badly and were beyond repair the rcvrs were good and CMP had some refinished some were left as is. They were all in spec the price was really right to.

The CMP is selling barreled receivers and check out DuPage trading for parts kits.

LRB Arms makes new forged receivers. It is on my project list, of builds that I would like to do.

When I get to this build it is going on a JAE Stock.

Eta: My mistake I read Garand and thought M1A. sorry.
