How to remove rear guard "VIDEO"

I finally took a moment to put this helpful video together to go with my others on trigger group and bolt disassembly. Rick B


M1 Garand Lesson, Rear Hand Guard Removal - YouTube

I knew that already but thanks anyway, there's bags of guys that only now understand.

I've been disassembling M1s since 1960 and I never knew you could get that guard off without taking off the lower band!

Good video Rick, it's always good to learn new stuff!

Well I am proud to have been able to teach you something :) Did you notice the Gold safety and trigger? This is my Rick Chester Pimp gun that I saved from destruction as well as the gold parts. Rick B
