Good evening y’all. I’m a new member and new owner of a prized M1 Garand. Last Friday I picked up a Springfield manufactured in 1944 (3,22x,xxx) with some mixed other gun company parts *note* this rifle came CMP. Over the next few months I want to restore it with SA 1944 parts. I really didn’t know if I needed to post this in “Gunsmithing Armorer Duties” or in the “M1 Garand general discussion”.
I purchased a complete bolt assembly D28287-19SA heat lot O-16. After my purchase, I missed a major detail, this bolt was removed from service due to bad heat treatment. I can’t return it and I will DEFINITELY WON’T be installing it. Do I just have a wasted bolt assembly now or what? Did I waste my money?
-OR-
Since this rifle came from CMP, should I just leave it completely alone and not change parts? Thoughts?
I guess I wanted to post this in general discussion to get as many replies as possible.
Any info would greatly appreciated concerning this bolt.
