    M-1 Build

    i am putting together a M-1 garand from parts. Starting with a IHC barrelled reciever ( 1964 springfield barrel). (CMPicon sold these several years ago) My question or concern is since the reciever and barrel are very dry (from storage) are there any problems that I might encounter. The bolt has been headspace.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Plus one what bar said , If it was me though , I'd start with a small stiff brush and a can of cosmolineicon and rub it into the finish real well then wipe it down and continue .

    I hope your project turns out well

    Talking Grease

    I prefer rifle grease. The same kind that is in those little plastic jars with the yellow lids. Just use old tooth brush and rub it out very thin. It will last longer than any oil will.
