Hey all,

I need to get a new op rod for a garand. my dad got a project rifle off of an older guy in town, its pretty beat and the op rod is bent.

everything is solid and in working order, and it is safe to shoot when i swap the op rod out of my other garand onto it. All I need is a replacement that wont break the bank, meaning I dont want to be spending $150 on up for an op rod. Where should I check for one? Id be looking to spend maybe around $100, give or take a few.
Ebay hasnt helped me much, those are all pretty expensive after all the bidding. I have seen one on a site i use for other garand parts, but its $165.

Thanks for any help
