Royal Tiger Imports - What To Expect 

Yea it’s kind of a crap shoot

They suck

I just got a smle from them and the receiver appears to have a chamber detonation in it, and the bolt will literally life over a inch vertical in the far forward position before lockup, so bricked

Those rifles arent from their Ethiopia cashe so they would be decent

Ill likely get one of those from them as well. Those were used in the 60s, less time spent in Ethiopia than the ww1 stuff, or even the things from the 1800s

Very lucky score

I got a long rifle from them I’m about to review. The action was solid except for a broken extractor. I will warn the bore is beyond worn and horrifically pitted.

@@WastelandArmorer both mine had a "memory" of having once been rifled. Even a long rifle that's got half left, I can cut down into a stutzen

@@charlene2400 mine has some rifling but for several inches at the throat and muzzle it’s more of a memory.

@@WastelandArmorer I already parted them, and scrapped the rest. I'm only up in GA, and might just drive down there to pick one in person. Steyr is my fave, and they're the only game out there at present.

@@charlene2400 I love sterys. I have a model 1888 in gorgeous shape, and it’s sights only go to 2500 shritt, so it is a true unconverted 1888. It’s not an RTI gun, got it over a decade ago and it’s gorgeous. Just finally got to shoot it with some surplus 8x50r. Shot amazing as it’s bore is perfect.

Took mine about a month

Then spend the extra money. RTI is for people who want to put in some work

Hell yeah, welcome to the party

I’m 8 months late to respond But I bought 2 m1s from RTI while they were having a massive flash sale….. they had the sale for around a month or so listing rifles for “low price” of $800-$999….. there were Winchesters and IHC here and there All rifles were individually listed allowing you to see them. And they had descriptions of condition and bore condition……. AVOID ANYTHING THAT THEY SAY HAS A FAIR BORE… My first m1 was a 1943 Springfield armory that was rearsenaled in 1964… The bore on this rifle was listed as “good” needing light cleaning….. …. And after swabbing and brushing it is a decent bore lands and groves are visible throughout…. It is dark from corrosion. But it is still very shootable My second m1 was a 1952 SA with original barrel…. Listed as very good condition with a 3.5 bore gauge reading….. the bore in this rifle is immaculate… it looks brand new What to expect for an m1 from RTI if you pay attention to the listing you’ll get a decent rifle with a good bore But do expect to have cracked hand guards and lose barrel bands… or loose gas tube or a loose fitting trigger group. These are all common M1 garand problems that has nothing to do with being in Ethiopia “although that didn’t help” I spent about $50 and put all new stock ferrules and bands in replaced one hand guard And swapped the gas cylinder retainers around on the two rifles and it tightened up the gas tubes….. I ordered 2 garands. And I got 2 good mechanical condition m1 garands that are going to be good range toys. RTI keeps saying “last ones in stock “ But they still post anywhere from 2,3,5 even 10 at a time….. when I ordered mine they came with 3 en blocs clips each. Now they come with 1 clip and a sling…. And are selling for $1099

HMMMMMM....
