Nice. Please post more videos of your progress with your Rifle. Mine is an SA from June 43 with a VAR Barrel. I changed out my Rear Sight to the WW2 type. I also use the Schuster adjustable gas plug (even with ammo specified for Garands) just incase to safeguard my OP Rod.
Love these old rifles I had a 1943 springfield all matching all original. Paid $800 for it. Cleaned it up, lightly sanded the stock and 6 coats of Truoil. Sold it for $2000 a couple months ago. Found another one for $1,100. Gonna work on the wood tomorrow. 1944 Springfield all matching as well.
Did you or the CMP do the. Changes? Because without the marks on the wood, it's worth quite a bit less. And you're right about the ammunition. You can get factory ammunition made for the M1. Remember, every change that is made reduces the value to a collector. I have 1 numbers matching and 3 that came from the CMP in 1982.
After I got my second M1 which was ww2 vintage, I tried to sell my post war to my friends. It wasn’t too much later that I was so glad none of those cheap f**ks wanted to get a good deal on an M1. I came to my senses and will never be selling any guns unless I’m about to wind up on the streets.
M1 Grand is my favorite rifle. If I had to give all my rifles up but one I without a doubt keep my m1 Grand. Sure is big and just a little heavy but it can shoot accurate at a thousand with some practice and it can drop a white tail all the way up to a moose , grizzly, even a elephant or the black bulls in Africa I think they call the old big ones Dugger boys because they live in the mudd and it acts like sun block so they don't get sun burn because like me they have some balding taking place. Yes sir, it will bring down a elk or a Buffalo so matter where you end up with large game or Chinese or Russian that want to kill Americans, the Garand is Grand should make you boss at long ranges where those ak rifles might not reach out and touch someone the Garand should do the job as the sights are as good if not better than a leaupold. Every home should have a m1 and know how to use. If you can't get a Garand a M1A / M14 WOULD BE MY PICKAS A JUST AS GOOD.

If you want the stock to look like a true M1. I would rub the stock down with a few coats of boiled linseed oil.
I will do that. Thanks

I’d love to have a M1 in my collection
Look into cmp program. Thay are a good Investment Rifle and a good piece of american history.
Can't parkerized the gas cylinder because it's stainless stell. You can have it blackened.
Please....No gloss coat
What the name of the group for M1 Garand?
Service Rifle
Also, adjustable gas lock screw is NOT needed ans a total waster of money
