An early view into BREDA
An early view into BREDA Garand #274 henceforth known as 'THE HELSBY RIFLE'. 'THR' will now be a regular cast member on the Riflechair.com Channel.
In this episode we take on the 2021 Cabin Fever Challenge (closes March 31st 2021) Facebook: cabinfeverchallenge
If you're in Canada and you're interested in your own M1 Garand build contact Richard and he will set you up. This guy is brilliant.
The biggest problem with buying a used M1 Garand is that you don't really know what you’re going to get. The headspace might be bad, there may be dangerous pitting under the wood (Which is quite common) or the springs might be completely work out.
Even with good headspace, there’s the question of Muzzle and throat erosion. How bad is it? Garands used ammo that was corrosive, and there are a lot of barrels out there that are worn excessively. Heslby tries to use USGI barrels when he can and he won't use anything worse than Throat or Muzzle Erosion reading of 2. There are so many that are 6 and 7.
Like most surplus firearms Garands tend to get neglected and abused. It is still fairly common to find ¼” of cosmoline under the wood and a completely worn out barrel. Some are so badly pitted they are dangerous to shoot.
IF you buy used I recommend you find someone who can look it over and recondition it so these nasty little surprises don’t raise their ugly head after you get it home.
With new builds like this (or a reconditioned rifle) you know exactly what you’re getting. Helsby sells completely rebuilt Garands with Italian receivers and this is far cheaper than you can get a USGI Garand for in rough shape. Mainly because of the price of receivers. 650-850 US for a USGI receiver, vs 50-100 CDN for an Italian receiver. In the case of those built by Richard Helsby they have been completely gone through and gauged, and refinished before they are offered for sale.
As far as performance, the Italian guns are far better built.
Something to Ponder.
