    The dealer did not know who built the receiver. The serial number reads ETTxxx. No manufacturer marks on it. Barrel is a Douglas. Twist is 1:10. The stock maker is unknown. There are also no markings on the recoil pad. It has a Redfield Palma rear, and I added the Redfield Olympic front. It had a standard Redfield target front when I bought it. No one else in the man's family was a shooter, so whatever knowledge he had is now gone. The gunsmith didn't have any other records on the rifle, and purchased it from the estate.
    I experimented with loads using LC match, and my own reloads using Sierra 168 and 175 Match King bullets. It seems to like the Varget and IMR 4895 powders better than others. I did get the groups about 1.5" at 200 yards, sub-MOA. It's a real one-off. I just finished cataract surgery last week, and my vision is now 20/15. When the weather breaks here in Michigan, it's back to the range with it.I hope this answers your questions.

    pendennis,
    I saw a picture of your Garand, that was posted by flyingcarpenter in the precision rifle thread. I was wondering if you might be able to answer a couple of questions. You say the it was built for hipower competition. I see you also say that it has a custom receiver, could you tell me about that? I was also hoping that you could tell me who made the stock? and what brand barrel? If you didn't build it yourself, could you tell me who the builder was? Beautiful rifle BTW. Merry Christmas.
