[QUOTE="SevenSixTwo, post: 1070248, member: 11463"] I have looked into this myself. Some of those Navy Garands had trouble with the barrel bushing coming out the barrel briefly turning a battle rifle into a spear gun! The best solution would be to take care of the block and rebarrell with a kreiger, or some such, match barrel. I don't know much about smithing on a garand, but I don't imagine switching out the barrel would be that hard witht the right tools. You may find you can do the job yourself in the garage if you wanted to. The rifle may be a serious collectors item to your grandkids, but if you aren't concerned with that then get it converted and have fun. [/QUOTE]
