M1 from Century
« on: October 12, 2007, 08:43:37 AM »
  Any information on these guns?  Any experiences?  Has Century manufactured the receivers and added parts?

deecee:  which M1 - there is the Garand and the Carbine.  I doubt Century is remanufacturing them but rather reconstructing them of surplus parts.  Mikey.

The M 1 Garands that Century was selling a while back were GI parts on new Century receivers. Early on, some receivers were found out of spec but with a little work, could be made to run. Century made good on those that were really bad. These rifles are strictly shooters, have NO collectors value and are not classified as C&R.
