Gas Trap Garand Parts
(and some Winchester Garand parts)

I am restoring a gas trap Garand, Springfield Armory serial number 1379

I have some early parts that are are not correct for this rifle, but may be correct for your project.

I will ONLY trade my parts for the ones I need. No outright sales on any of the parts I have below.

Here is the list- Hope we can BOTH improve our rifles with some good trades.

Below that is a list of some other good early Winchester or Springfield parts that I am willing to trade toward parts on the list that I need.
Thanks for your help. John Spangler
