so about what would it cost to repair a loose gas tube on a Garand
Huh? How loose? Its supposed to wiggle a little.

Is it loose because of stripped gas lock threads?
The threads on my South Korean import were so bad, the gas lock just spun in circles. And the gas tube would fly off when firing.
CMP put a new barrel on her. Happy Days.
so if I may ask was that 300. dollar fix ?
When a gas cylinder is loose it is from worn barrel splines not the gas cylinder
Simple fix, peen over the splines on the barrel
Whwn buying a used gas cylinderr you need to make sure it gages in spec, many are worn junk. How much is he wanting for it?
Criterion Barrel 180.00
Gas Lock 10.00-15.00 maybe.
Install 75.00
Don't recall shipping costs.
I can recall it being worth every penny to get her operating correctly again.
950.00
I thought you were buying a cylinder, not the whole rifle. If cylinder is that loose I would check the rest of the rifle. What else is worn?
$950 should buy a rifle in spec that you dont have to do anything to
