Title: Re: Criterion Barrels
Post by S99VG on May 22nd, 2020 at 2:41pm
Thanks guys, I really appreciate all your help and yeah I'm being a bit fussy with both these guns.  Both actually started as stripped receivers with a lot of time spent looking for original parts that matched the condition of the metal as I got them.  However, as mentioned above, the bolts which are NOS 1896 parts.  I'm big into 03 Springfields.  I have one foray in the world of Garands that started with a receiver that was made in August of 41, the month but not year of my birth.  After its dinished, I have a Redfield 70 that may go on the rifle just to see what that rifle can do with a good peep sight.  After that, it will either get an 01 or 02 sight.  Meanwhile, the quest for the carbine barrel continues and as I said above, I'm on the fence when it comes to looking for a decent example of an original or trying to make a good show of it with a Criterion and after market front sight.  Again, thanks much for all the great input and advice.

Here is another pic of a few other ongoing projects and the carbine with a repro 1902 handguard and 02 sight.
