Grease. Plain old automotive grease, pick up a tub at NAPA, Walmart, etc.

I ordered an H&K 8 oct, they ran out, I sat on it a couple of weeks then sent an email to change over to SA, as soon as I did it shipped within a week
But if u check out the cmp forum it looks like they are pumping them out in about 30 days of receiving ur order |

Ordered mine on 9/11 by check. Check cleared 10/11. I bought one locally Monday for $875. Nice HRA mix master, all I did was lube it up. Hopefully the CMP will come through shortly.

GREASE I'm not sure about the M1 Garand, but for my M1A, I don't like grease on the spring. I just use Breakfree clp and it appears to be working very well for it. I clean it after every session though. |

Well, I picked her up today
 she looks pretty good a couple of dents in the wood but who the hell cares, rifle bore is gaged at a 2, by the time I got home and took her apart greased and lubed her it was dark, so tossing a couple of rounds down range will have to wait until tomorrow, besides we've got winds averaging 30 to 40 mph
metal parts all look really good, rifle was clean upon arrival, trigger assembly is a SA, not sure where on the barrel to find out who made it. Serial # dates to 1944, wish I knew where it was used at, but im sure that is a common curiousity Enjoy the pics.

You will have to have the operating rod locked back to see since the operating rod blocks it when the bolt is closed. Nice score on the stock. Looks to be USGI walnut. |

Light parkerizing looks like it could be an arsenal rebuild.
Check the receiver legs for markings. (This is not a bad thing!) |

Its a Letterkenny Ink stamp applied during the rebuild. They ususally dont last as they are ink and can get wiped/rubbed off. Rifle probably was used very litle after rebuild

Yeah, it looks like it was used very little. As opposed to my stock looks like it went through WWII, Korea AND Vietnam. Sanded several times in the process. Grrrrrrrrrr..... And that was after a dishwasher spa treatment and several BLO massages.
Oh well, shoots good. |

WONDERFUL
+1000 on GREASE Here's my CMP Service Grade Springfield, I got back in the 1990's Late WWII S.A with a 1052 HRA barrel, I like to imagine it fought at Iwo Jima or Bastogne and then mowed down Chi-com wave attacks at the Frozen Chosin

Again, nice score... If you elect to do any work to the stock... put a piece of blue painter's tape over the LEAD stamp to preserve it. I wouldn't do anything more than some BLO/mineral spirits applied with steel wool to clean it, though. |

The M1 Garand is a wonderful machine
It needs ammo with the proper burn rate and pressure curve of the military issued ammo Dont run walmart hunting 30-06 ammo thru it, you can warp the Op-Rod And that's not good I only shoot handloads in mine I use IMR-4895 and surplus FMJ's or match bullets Google " NRA GARAND LOADS" or buy the NRA garand book For load data |

Or use one of those adjustable gas plugs then shoot what ever you find.
Check this out Shooting commercial 30-06 in a M1 Garand That's what I like about my 308 it will shoot any commercial load up to 180. Back in the 60's the Navy had a good idea rebarreling their M1 Garands to 7.62 NATO. |
