even the Marines had a hard time breaking them.
the struggle is real!
I wonder how how hard it was for the Army and Navy?

I've read the instructions, it's more a matter of getting it the last 3/8" without breaking something. I would believe a wooden mallet as mine is stubborn.
I had to do this for one of the new stocks I had. I pretty much couldn't close the trigger guard down, so I filed some of the wood away on the "A" surfaces in this guide. I didn't need to do anything with the "B" surfaces. I just kind of eyeballed it too, didn't go all out with the dowels/tape. I coated it with some tung oil afterwards, and you can't even tell it was modified.

i will note if you got it from the cmp and it closed it will close again....then after a year or so it will close even easier. The boyds wood is pretty soft as far as hardwood goes.
I probably could've closed it using a mallet, but I didn't really want to have to do that for however many times it would take until it loosened up. I didn't have to remove a ton of material, and it still is fairly tight locking up. It just made it so I can now close it by hand.
A mallet would probably be better than the screwdriver I used.
A little container of mobil1 synthetic will last you a lifetime... Don't overthink this one.
Grease! Just spit on it!I've got empty grease syringes at work... I should make up a bunch and spread the pound of M1 Red I bought for this purpose.
I'd sell it for a LOT cheaper this these guys!

So I’m an M1 and a CMP noob but I just received my service grade and it seems to be in great condition. Are these good to shoot out of the box or should i strip down clean and lube?
Edit: NVM sometimes reading works lol
Granted I haven't looked - but what's the best place to buy some empty grease syringes? The lid to my Mobil 1 Red Grease broke, so it just makes a mess of a ziplock bag (and my hands/fingers when I go to get some). Wouldn't mind filling it into syringes.

You could just do what I did and hand it to an expert Garand armorer and beg him to take your money.
Wasn't too expensive, my new M1 will easily outshoot me.
with your rifle came a "read this first" pamphlet it has some good links on how to detail strip clean and lube the rifle.
