M1 GARAND STOCK SETS

Announcing The New "Slimmer" M1 Stock!

For just under three months I have been working to develop a new “slimmer” M1 stock.  We started with a GAW-SA stock as our base for the pattern.  I admit it was not easy due to the fact that areas on the pattern stock were compressed in the receiver and trigger group areas.  After examining examples, making changes and shipping those changes back to the manufacture, we have achieved our goal!

These new “slimmer” stocks will still require some final fitting which DGR performs and I have decided to continue to add the receiver heal cut (seen below in pictures).  The receiver heal cut reduces receiver movement and adds life to the fit of the stock.

M1 owners who like the feel of a slimmer stock set will appreciate what DGR now has to offer with the new "slim"!

(All future stock set will be produced from the "slim" pattern, unless you request our original Post War Pattern which is "fatter" then the "slim".)

Thanks, Dean-DGR  Posted 05/24/08

DGR recommends all fitted/unfinished stock sets we sell be sanded before applying your final finish.  If you purchase a fitted/unfinished stock set, DGR recommends you sand the standard grade stock sets from 120 grit down to 220 grit before applying a finish.  And any of the fancy or semi-fancy stock sets we recommend sanding from 120 grit to 600 grit before applying a finish.

DGR's Authentication Stamp

DGR has 3/4" or 1/2" stamps that can be stamped into your new wood to authenticate that your stock set was finished by DGR.  Stamps are only applied upon customers request.

Please Note:

Stock sets are a product of nature, so it is impossible for DGR to guarantee grain structure.  However, we do our best to satisfy our customer's.

Have DGR Custom Fit Your New Wenig/DGR Stock Set To Your Rifle

The tolerance difference in the M1 is the number one reason why DGR recommends custom fitted stock sets for the M1.  For an additional charge of $45 DGR will fit your new stock set to your M1, assuring the best fit for function and accuracy. 

Send us your trigger group and we fit the trigger group to your new stock set for no additional charge!  Trigger groups are what makes true "drop in" stock sets impossible.  But if we have your trigger group we will guarantee the fit!

DGR M1 Stock Sets:

I know of no other company (Boyd, CMP or etc.) that offers the wide variety in stock sets as DGR offers.  DGR has worked to make patters closely representing WWII and post war stock sets for the M1.  With DGR you can now order our “slim” stock set, cut from an original GAW-SA WWII stock or a post WWII pattern cut from the “fatter” post war patterned stock.  Plus DGR introduced a wide variety of wood types, including the Bastogne Hybrid Walnut, extra fancy American Walnut, Myrtle, Maple, Laminated and the standard grade walnut stock sets.  And DGR custom fits all stock sets we sell.

Drop in stock sets are made for the ease of selling and mass production.  One size fits all scenarios works no better with the M1 stock set then it does with T-shirts.  I know of no other company that "custom fits" the M1 stock set they sell as DGR does! 

Why is “custom fitting important”?  The logic is simple; no machine can produce a drop in stock set that will be adjustable to the tolerance differences in the M1.  With DGR’s custom fitting you are assured up to a 90% success rate that your new stock set will fit your rifle.  The remaining 10% will have issues with the fit of the trigger group (the single most tolerance difference in the M1).  If this occurs, DGR will perform the final fitting at no charge!  You simply pay the shipping charges.   

The M1 receives an estimate 40% of the rifles accuracy from a proper fitting stock set.  That is very important to know when evaluating the accuracy of your M1.  Many look to the barrel and never understand that a proper fitting stock just might be the answer to improved accuracy with their M1.

Thanks, Dean-DGR

Special DGR Feature
 

We believe a properly fitted M1 stock can amount to 40% of the rifles accuracy.  Customers who had dramatic increases in accuracy after installing one of our stock sets and making no other modifications to the rifle have proven this time and time again.  Pictured is a USGI stock, (post WWII) and a new Wenig stock with one of the modifications made by DGR.  The arrows are pointing to the area that has been modified, both in the USGI stock and the Wenig/DGR stock.  This modification is critical in a properly fitted stock.  As seen in the picture, this allows the back 1/3 of the receiver to set on the wood, with slight clearance up to the receiver legs. This prevents the receiver from rocking in the stock and is very important for accuracy.  DGR utilizes a special jig and band saw to make these modifications, assuring the best fit in the industry.

We offer stock sets that we have sanded as described above and with our excellent hand rubbed oil finish, which DGR is known for.  And now, we also offer fitted/unfinished standard grade stock sets for those who like to finish their own wood.  (Click here for a description of the three different hand rubbed oil finishes.)

DGR fits all stock sets we sell to an action in our shop.  It is possible that you might experience some difficulties with your trigger group once you have installed your new stock set.  While this is rare, if it happens, DGR will need to have your complete rifle to make the needed adjustments, which we will do at no charge, (you only cover the shipping costs).  This rare problem is not the fault of the stock or our work, it is because not all trigger groups are the same.

We have provided pictures below of our Stocks Sets.

Tom's wife Betty writes, I was upstairs changing when I heard Tom say, "oh baby your so beautiful! I missed you and you look so good. You smell good too! And you feel great!"...yep, I ran downstairs to see who he was talking to and found he was talking to the gun you had built for him!

I'm glad you made him so happy, now if I could get him to put it down and take me out to dinner! 

Thank you, Betty
