There is a lot of good and a little not so good info on "the greatest battle implement ever devised," on the net. There is a forum very similar to this one with a lot of the same members specific or nearly so, to the Garand. Link below. I have also attached a link to a M1icon Garand user manual from Springfield. I was pretty happy to find it. I'm not an expert, but your rifle looks dry. They need grease, grease not oil in several locations. I like a synthetic grease called Super Lube, a 3oz tube from Amazon will last for years. Seriously grease it before you shoot it. You will love the ping. Oh I see a 1903A3 in your future.
