I got a Garand from a guy at the show yesterday that needed some cash. Now he cleaned the cosmolen off and all but im trying to take it apart to clean and oil it for storage. I fought and yelled at it and I finally got the stock off without hurting the wood or scratching it, now the gas screw came off ok but I cant get the gas cylinder off the rifle to save my life. The old rifle is fighting me every way. I used a block of wood and a hammer to tap at it to loosten it up but that didnt work. I dont want to hurt the park on the rifle or the finish on the cylinder to do this.
Pictures will follow later, its a 43' SA that was a SA depot rebuild in 53'.Information
