Props LeeKegan M1 Garand

[LeeKegan]

Thought you might like to see a build I'm doing for my 84 year old WWII neighbor.

Hope you like it.

Trigger assembly.

Gas tube return.

More done, but I need to take picks.

Very nice! Having had to do alot of ceremonial drill with an M1, I can say that your work is very accurate, as always of course.

Would like to add a real M1 to my rifle collection, but their so expensive!

 

[HeavyDutyART]

This is incredible work! i can only imagine how long it takes for each peace to be carved.

 

[Ravenwolf]

beautiful work. was a part of the rifle drill team at ERAU when i was going to school there. also got to take one out to the range (open desert) a few times.
How much does your replica weigh?

 

[Patryn]

Why can't you live down the street from me so I can play with your cool toys! As always impressed sir!

 

[mkshane81]

I understand that it takes a lot of imagination to recreate all of the things that you have done so far, but I think this one is by far my favorite. Most other works have come from a world of imagination, where this comes from something very real. Tremendous work thus far, and can't wait to see more of this. Fantastic work as always sir!!

Very nice. It's a lot more detailed than mine. Can't wait to see it finished.

Lee... I just... I mean... WOW!

You have really outdone yourself this time!

 

[tmccarty23]

Looking mighty fine Lee. Are you going to apply and stain or color?

About 9 pounds.

Yes but I'm just making the one and it was to be an exact copy for my neighbor to hang on his wall.

It will be painted to look like the real thing.

As always lee, it is beautiful. What a wonderful think to do for a veteran like your neighbor! On a side note, did I see a reach combat knife being molded??

 

[JUSTINIAN 117]

9 pounds? What type of wood did you use. Mine only came out to be 2.5 punds.

 

[adam4472]

before you give it away you should make a cast

 

[TheBearMan]

Wow it looks amazing. Are you able to open and close the breach or did you just make it so it is locked in place? Either way that is mighty fine work sir!

 

[spartan 847 david]

My dad owns A M1 Garand so if you need pics of it just tell where and ill get out my camera,and always great work Lee

 

[xlasernoobsx]

Wow, that looks amazing. Personally, that is one of my favorite guns.

 

[Specter 1]

That looks great, and i think its even better that your doing it for a wwII vet

Thanks and yes, it has been setting there ready to mold for 1 1/2 months. No rubber.

9 pounds? What type of wood did you use. Mine only came out to be 2.5 punds.

That is the weight of the plastic cast stocks.

I already have molded some of it.

It is static. no moving parts.

Thanks, but I got enough pics, and I'm done making the parts. I just need to take more pics and finish molding parts to it, but I'm out of rubber.

Thats awesome what are the handgaurds/gas assembly made up of? I converted a M14 for airsoft a few years back, had to use real parts modified to fit the airsoft m14 body, its close but not 100%. I love the M1.
