My New Mini-G

[dross]

Tim Shufflin's work. Garand shortened to 16 inch barrel, converted to 308.

Rear sight is an RMR, adjustable 3.25 MOA.

Best rifle I've ever seen, held, shot, owned.

That looks great!

That looks great!

Thanks, but to me that's like saying Jessica Elba, Halle Berry, and Scarlett Johansson playing naked Twister together looks "fun."

I love this rifle in what may be a completely unreasonable way.

Old meets new. I like it!

What a mental image!!

What a mental image!!

After this you'll have to wash your brain:

Now I'm picturing my fat 50 year old naked self playing too, all the while holding my Mini-G!

Sorry... but


Soooo.... it looks as if the stock and top hand guard are normal and he simply did away with the front HG altogether. Man I bet that balances well.

If I said "nice gun" now, that would probably be misconstrued, huh?

That is really cool...Would you tell how much it cost to have it converted?

Here is the order form, looks expensive.

Normally I'd say modifying a Garand would be a criminal offense, but if that gun is wrong, then I don't want to be right! Very cool! I'm also interested in what this set you back.

Thanks for the link! I figured it would have been twice that. Very cool

Sweet little rifle! The fireball out of that thing has got to be nice!

I'm normally with you on this, but I do have to admit it is rather slick. I'm really digging this offerin--> Mag-fed GarandShuff's Parkerizing | Shuff's Parkerizing. Maybe if I ever come across a completely worn out M1 I'll get this done to it.

Very nice! How did you mount the RMR?

I've wanted a Mini-G for a while. I had a Garand parts gun ready to send just about three years ago. Had it boxed up and ready.
Then I found a Colt New Service revolver I just had to have...and put the Mini-G on hold. I never did send it, and his prices and wait times keep going up.

I have always wanted a mini G, it would be better choice than a soccom 16 IMHO. If you have an extra Garand it would be cheaper too.

 

[SolubleSpork]

That thing is absolutely beautiful. I am not really a "purist" when it comes to old military rifles for reasons like this. Don't get me wrong, an old M1 with its dings and dents is a beautiful thing, but this is also amazing. I think the picture of Jessica Elba, Halle Berry, and Scarlett Johansson playing naked Twister together was a perfect analogy. I would love to see a video of it. The Mini-G that is. (Although not opposed to one of the naked twister either)

 

[gsp83]

That is one awesome gun right there! How bad is the recoil with that shortened barrel?

I've pondered a Mini-G for several years now. On my next trip to the CMP South Store which will be May 2013, I'm going to pick out a nice rack grade Winchester which I intend to send to Mr Shuff for an Mini-G conversion and the box magazine conversion.
