| I build rifles complete from bare receivers using the highest quality
parts, but building a complete rifle for you is a personal thing for me
and it is important for you to have the rifle do what you want it to do.
I do not have prices here for complete rifles. If you wish to have a
complete rifle built, please call me (Phil Arrington) and lets discuss
the rifle and your purpose for it on the phone together and make sure
the rifle is built exactly the way you want it.
If you have any questions about building a rifle, either call me at (623) 582-5066 or e-mail me. I'll be happy to answer your questions.....Phil Arrington |

Descriptions of Modifications and Costs
National Match Glass Bedding- A steel epoxy compound is applied to the interior of the stock in such a way that it not only gives a skin tight fit to the receiver but also creates forend pressure pulling down on the barrel to dampen vibrations when the rifle is fired. $165.00, if the recv'r is rear lugged it's $205.00
National Match Gas System- The gas cylinder of the M-1 Garand is gauged and machined so that there is no pressure applied to the barrel and does not touch the front handguard when installed. The gas cylinder of the M-14/M1A is heliarc welded to the barrel band after gauging. $ 75.00
National Match Flash Suppressor- Ream a standard GI flash suppressor to NM spec's. $65.00
National Match Op Rod spring guide- I make a NM op rod spring guide out of 11/32" diam. tool steel to smooth out the operation of the rifle cycle. $75.00
National Match Handguards- The handguards are clearanced on the inside so as not to touch the barrel. on the M-1 the front handguard permanently attached to the barrel band with screws and epoxy the barrel band is then unitized to the barrel and the rear handguard is epoxied to the barrel band and to the handguard clip. On the M-14/M1A the handguard is unitized to the gas cylinder/barrel band assembly and to the handguard clip. $ 45.00
National Match Stock Modifications- The stock ferral is epoxied into place. The forend channel is clearanced so that the gas cylinder on the M-14/M1A and the op rod on the M-1 will not touch while functioning. The rear of the stock under the part of the receiver where the serial number is located, is relieved so that the bolt will not hit during functioning. And the stock under the trigger is relieved so the trigger will not touch. $ 35.00
National Match Trigger - Stone and hone the engagement surfaces of the hammer and the sear. Reduce the engagement in the 2nd stage, lightening the trigger pull to 4.5-4.75 pounds. $65.00
There is no noticeable creep in the 2nd stage of a national match trigger. Most of the 4 pounds is pulled in the first stage, leaving only ounces to be pulled in the 2nd stage. allowing you to concentrate on sight alignment with the first stage pulled
National Match Rear Sight- A Navy Style 1/2 minute adjustable rear sight is built using a special N.M. ramp aperture and an 8 detent windage knob. Your sight base, spring cover and elevation knob and pinion assembly are used, if in satisfactory condition, if not there will be an extra charge. 520 and 595 aperture sizes are available.$ 135.00
Do you have trouble focusing on the front sight? BOB JONES makes a lens that fits into the hood of the M-1 and M-14 National Match rear sight. The lens prescription is set to your eye.
You can supply your own N.M. sight parts, but many sight parts available today are of inferior quality and are labor consuming to fit together.
Shop labor rates are $ 55.00 per hour
National Match Front Sights- Machined to taper forward so that sun light will not be reflected from the edges of the sight back to the shooter’s eye. Available in .072 and .062 other widths available on special order. $ 29.00
National Match check out and fit- Fit and check out all parts for smoothness of operation consistent with national match accuracy. $ 55.00
I install Lugs on Receivers -Rear lugs added to m-1 garand and m-14/m1a receivers. The work is done by the nationally known metallurgist. Receivers are laser analyzed. Lugs of correct material are machined then heliarc welded into place, the receiver is then reheat treated and refinished to new appearance. The lug is a special taper design and is drilled and tapped for a 1/4" sae allen bolt..$185.00
National Match Barrels- When it comes to building national match rifles, I install nothing but first quality match grade barrels. I try to keep Douglas Premium Match barrels in-stock. I will order and install any barrel you want. Sometimes delivery times on special order barrels take 4-8-12 weeks and more. I install barrels with match grade chambers and head space unless differently ordered. Please call for price and availability of all other barrel makes, Douglas Premium Match installed in your M-1 $ 555.00 For the M-14/M1A $ 555.00 Other barrel brands are available on request; call for pricing and availability
Arrington Accuracy does Parkerizing or phosphating, , the color is usually medium to dark gray to near black. The color is controlled by the consistency and hardness of the steel that it is being applied to. Stainless steel can not be parkerized or phosphate. Complete rifle $ 125.00
Robar NP3 and Roguard finishes available. Please call for price
Metacol III finish is a melignium sulfide aircraft finish, that has a silicone base which makes it very slick and durable. It is applied wet and then is heat treated. Metacol III comes in a number of colors and both satin and flat finishes. Complete rifle $ 175.00
