M-1 Garand timing
A neighbor bought a Garand
and gave it to a gunsmith to have it checked out. He was told that the checkout work included "timing it". I know what timing means in the working of a revolver, but don't really understand what it means in an M-1. Could someone shed some light/explain what is involved in timing the weapon? Is it a part of the functioning itself and/or related to accurate shooting? Thanks for any info. J.Cooper

It sometimes involves bending the follower arm for proper functioning.

Timing refers to the latching of a fully loaded clip and automatic operating rod release. This should occur at about the same time when loading the rifle. It is adjusted by altering the fulcrum height of the bullet guide.

Bending?
Usually by replacing the bullet guide with one whose fulcrum is up to spec.

Yes, bending of the follower arm is not an authorized fix for a timing issue. Usually a brand new, notched bullet guide will fix most timing issues.
Also, checking the timing is about a 30 second job if you have a timing block.

FWIW, the crescent cut in one leg of late guides identifies those with the slightly higher fulcrum. It is properly called an "ID notch."
