No, he just means the stock from an actual M1 Garand, not an airsoft M1. Real Steel just means an actual rifle, not an airsoft, or model rifle.

Gunshows are your best bet for authentic field used wood and metal parts.

How much work do u need to do to make the RS stock fit a GBB Marushin M1 Garand? Two evenings so far with hand cutting tools. About 50% done.

Boy are you in for an education! First with the experiences and drama you're about to experience with a Marushin GBB Garand and then with the customizations you have in mind.
Good luck young man cause you are going to need it. If you want a composition Garand stock I have one and I'll sell it cheap ($50.00 plus shipping)

Be careful, they can crack easy, especially if you narrow the edges too far!

What external parts are you changing? how are you doing it? I suppose you will have to sut a lot of metal? From marushin metal visible only short forward outer barrel, trigger housing and body of receiver. Yes, metal parts need fitting but not very difficult.
