Garand stock question

[jeep78]

I have a hack for you. Cut a business card in half . Remove action from stock. Put one half of the business card against the outside each of the receiver legs and put back in stock. It will be as tight as the day it was made ..

I tried that. It helped, but was nowhere near new stock fit.

As I was looking it over, I noticed it had a dipped heel. Wish I didn't notice that, could cost me.

Usually I would want to keep the M1 with its original stock...
PM me if you want to try and correct the bolt mismatch... I have a good many WWII bolts to see if we can get it correct for you... Lead dipped heels are very cool...
