Almost no difference at all. Most M1As have cast receivers and aftermarket barrels but they are dependable, accurate, and solid like the originals.

Enjoy!

Thanks Chainmail!

I love the thing. Love the Garand too.

I learned to shoot on a Garand when I was a kid - an uncle of mine was a Pacific Marine, a gunnery sergeant.

My old man was Army Airborne in Europe.

My first three firearms that I ever touched a trigger on were a 1911, a Winchester 1897, and a Garand.

Love ‘em all. Like the modern stuff too, but there’s something wood and metal together that just MAKES the rifle...
