I have a recent production Springfield M1icon Garand. I am purchasing spare parts for it and I recently purchased a spare operating rod from Fulton Armory. It is a Breda operating rod, which I understand was a company that made M1's in Italyicon post WW 2. It contacts the barrel near the receiver (at the location where the barrel is to be greased lightly) and binds slightly. My question is this: Is this just a question of polishing the op rod at this point to alleviate the binding, or is more complex fitting involved? Is there any other fitting required? I am doing as much research as possible about the Garand and its operation and any input will be greatly appreciated.
