I wrote an article on M-1 Garandicon tips and tricks for my Michigan Firearms Examiner column. I had to break it into three parts due to article size restrictions.

Here's the links:

Tips and tricks for the M-1 Garand
The best Garand manual, loading the 'en bloc' clips, and "The tragedy of M-1 Thumb."

M-1 Garand tips & tricks: Part 2 - Cleaning, lubrication, ammo & spare parts

M-1 Garand tips & tricks: Part 3 - Malfunctions & accuracy improvements
I also wrote an article on how to buy a Garand from the CMPicon.
