1911's, AR15's, AK's - ho hum. Does anyone make 80% Garand receivers?

No.
The M1 receiver is an extraordinarily complex item, and requires some very sophisticated heat treating once finished.

The number of people capable and equipped to finish an 80% M1 receiver is so small, it's just not economically sound to bother making an 80% for sale.
