I thought I would start a new thread, as there are so many existing threads on the topic and they are quite lengthy. Also, I don't agree with many of the answers I've seen. I am also aware that most of the people on this forum are totally familiar with what I'm saying below. But I also see...

I want to refinish my correct grade Garand stock. The stock is in good shape, with a few dings. They don't iron out easily and I really don't mind them. I consider them to be character marks, made by the boys that carried them. I believe the stock is walnut, but I'm not sure. This is a...

I've got lots of questions here. I have the combo tool (with brush) as well as the cleaning kit. The cleaning kit comes with a green bag and I can manage to get all the stuff into it. But it won't fit into the buttstock. And the brass brush does not do well in there, as it rips up the cloth...

I am dissassembling my newly purchased M1 Garand. I have two questions. 1. I wanted to take the bolt apart to get all the cosmoline out. The instructions say to pry up the extractor and the spring-loaded ejector will pop out. However, the ejector does not pop out. Should I be concerned...

Well, just one more question. The M1 Garand from CMP came with a clip, a book and some pamphlets. But it also came with a yellow plastic piece that is a "T" form with an 1/8" diameter rod about 4" long. I haven't been able to figure out what that thing is. I suppose it goes into the receiver...

Well, I finally received my Correct Grade M1 Garand (H&R) and it was worth the wait. The metal finish is unblemished and the wood is 95%, with just a few minor dings. I am extremely pleased. However, I could use some help. The receiver and barrel are covered with an orange wax preservative...

I was able to buy one of the last Correct Grade M1s available from CMP. First they told me they were unavailable. I reminded them that I ordered a Collector Grade and that they told me they were out of Collector Grade and would ship me one of the few Correct Grades left. Seems like I waited...

Standard guidelines are to use a bore brush first, then a wet patch and a dry patch until the dry patch comes out clean. Sounds good. But when I get to the point where the dry patch comes out clean, I will run the bore brush again and then the patches come out pitch black again. I know that...

I have a Garand on order from CMP with 1 case of Lake City M2 ball. I would also be interested in trying some commercial ammo, possibly match grade ammo. But I understand that some of the commecial 30.06 may be too hot for the Garand and not safe. I checked some ammo sites and there is a ton...

I know that Springfield Armory currently produces an M1 Garand rebuild in .308. I also believe the military switched from 30.06 to .308 at some point. But were M1 Garands ever produced in .308 Win? And can they be found? Or are they only available in special rebuilds like the Springfield...

I've seen the Garands at the National Match Armory, and they sure look fine. I've also seen the Springfield Armory and Fulton Armory Garands. I'm looking for a match grade rifle, not necessarily a super match grade. I will shoot with the iron sights and possibly upgrade to optical. I'm not...
