I just got my CMP Garand in and took it out yesterday. I am very familiar with the Garand in a mechanical sense. In college I was in charge of our drill team armory for a year or so and learned as much as I could about the rifle (even though ours had no firing pin and a welded barrel) and in the process fell in love.
Anyway, the rifle is in great shape, is stamped "US Rifle, CAL 30 M1, Springfield Armory, #######."
I also bought a half case of ammo from CMP, which is all greek surplus.
My two questions are:
Does anyone know if this ammo is corrosive?
I've heard there are special cleaning procedures for a Garand, including certain lubricants and greases applied to certain parts. Anyone have any experience with this stuff?
