Just got done checking both websites. Of course, I just HAD to check on Dupage's M1 parts and noticed they have milled stock ferrules in stock. I love those things. Might have to order one or two.

Just checked Krieger's website and they still have the G.I. contour barrels in .308 on special. Man, you can not beat their barrels! Even when Wilson still stocked their standard .308 Garand barrels they weren't a whole lot cheaper than that and they were not hand cut rifled and hand lapped.

I'm not in the market for a .308 Garand barrel right now, but if I were, I would think very hard about getting one of those from Krieger.

I love Krieger barrels! Even though I don't have a .308 garand I know I am going to kick myself in the butt one day for not getting one while they are on special. Last time I did that I missed out on the M14 heavy CM 18.5 inch barrels. They were selling for $300 short chambered. I finally got two but I had to host the group buy and plead my case to the production manager. He happened to have four blanks he pulled off the production line 9 years ago for his personal use one day. One I installed on an m25 the other is probably the only one in existance not mounted on a receiver. I flat out got lucky! They are outstanding barrels! One of these days I would like to shoot a rifle with a Wilson or criterion just do compare the differences.

I did finally find the Krieger standard contour CM .308 Garand bbl. Appears to be $360 short-chambered (save $40 against regular price). I can get the right kind of help w/ the right tools close by to install and time if I go w/ Krieger's. Dad-gum, that would have covered the whole meal + dessert with CC/Barnett's barrel. Thanks for the tip, both of you!

Years ago I asked Gene about putting out a G.I. contour NM Garand barrel and he didn't want to do it as it would cost so much more because of the added machine time he would have had to do to whittle the NM blank down that far.

[QUOTE=Gus Fisher;628244]I don't know if Dupage is selling the G.I. shape stocks other than through CMP. That doesn't mean they aren't, but I hadn't heard that. [QUOTE]

Gus
The stocks I am having issues with are from Dupage. They are a few dollars more than through CMP but atleast when you buy them directly from Dupage you dont have that fugly CMP stamp.I have found a few things wrong with the stocks that you suggested. Once I get them corrected and a trip to the range I will report back on them
