PSA M1 Garands

That’ll be interesting and I’d be curious about the price point. To keep the costs down I’d wager they’d used cast receivers.
 
I’m in. Wonder if they will do like Springfield Armory Inc. did back when they made them and offer the em in multiple chambering? I remember Springfield cataloged a .270, but I’ve never seen one.

The receiver is the easy part. The only way they can make this work would be to have a supply of sevicable components on hand to assemble.

I'd say this is unlikely to happen. 223/556 would likely require extensive redesign plus new manufacture clips. I could only imagine what those alone would cost to produce give the relatively small number that would be produced. So while I agree w/ your sentiment... a 556 Garand would be sweet.... paying $5-$10 dollars per clip would suck.

Now, that you have me dreaming.... if we could get one in 6.5 Creed or 6.5 Grendel... Now there's some appeal to that!

I could see 6.5 Creedmoor being popular.

OOOD: McCann Industries .458 Win Mag Garand -

Back in early 2000’s, McCann Industries (known for their M1 Garand Gas Trap Adjuster) manufactured an M1 Garand in .458 Winchester Magnum. Not made anymore after the passing of McCann’s primary gunsmith, the rifles are a fine example of ingenuity and practicality applied to big-game hunting. At...

I had a chance to buy one a few years ago at the Hickory show. Price was good, but I couldn’t talk myself into it. Someone else made the decision for me.
 
I'd be just fine with a US spec M1 in 3006 and match grade sights and barrel. You guys and the hot rod calibers forget barrel/throat erosion can be an issue if you actually shoot the critter to any extent. One of the worst culprits aside from 220Swift is the venerable 243.
 
PSA must have just made a list of the most popular guns and said, “OK, we already make ARs, what else on this list can we make?!”

AK? Success
MP5? Fail
Glock? Success
M1? We shall see
 
JJE (parent holder of PSA) bought H&R from Remington end of 2020. This month they got NoDak Spud, retro M16s receivers. Besides the M1 Garand, H&R made M14s, M16A1s (those will be at SHOT this week), Reising M50, M55 and M60 .45 ACP SMG/Carbines, T-48 test rifle (US FAL) and T 223 a copy of the HK93. I also own a H&R 340 rifle which uses a Zastava Mauser 98 action. While H&R didn't make XM177 SMGs be looking out for those.

Don't forget that JJE also bought a ammunition manufacturing plant OCONUS I believe. From Remington was also a suppressor company but I haven't heard of anything on that recently.

I have a magazine article somewhere of an M14 converted to 5.56 using M16 magazines. It was a much easier conversion than an M1 would ever be.

The only confirmed stuff is they bought a whole bunch of machines and tools from an "unnamed" eastern European ammunition company. They are going to import the machines and set them up here.

The rumor is they are also jumping though all the immigration hoops to get some of the people who know those machines as well.
