Thank you. Field striped and clean my late Dad's M1 last night. Took about 45 minutes to clean it. Then about 1 hour to put it back together. I must have watched that part about the fiddly bits 20 times in part 4 of this series.
You know it's a complicated assembly process when the physics professor has a difficult time with it.
@@scottyc3215 Or I'm just a bit slow on the uptake. LOL. I just didn't want to mess up that part with the accelerator, etc. Gives a new appreciation of a detachable box magazine, eh?
These Brownell firearm disassembly videos are excellent. I do wish the camera would show the same view as the person doing the video.
As a frequent viewer of Smyth Busters, it's awesome to go back and see Steve from back in the day demonstrate the steps of M1 maintenance in this great series!
I just bought my M1 last month. This series of videos was literally perfect for a first time owner. I watched it before. Bought what I needed and then got to work. Thing is ready for lots of fun now. Thank you!
So how did it go after reassembly? I'm in the same boat as you.
@@johnbradley5236 sadly I have yet to fire it still lol. Haven’t made it to the range in a few months bc of our newborn at home. Where are my priorities? Lol. I’ll keep you posted on when I do so tho!
This series of videos is by far the most informative on disassembly and assembly of the garand. Thank you so much!
thanks. This is the best I have seen in showing how to take down the M1. Very well explained
Very nice and detailed.
Side note: this guy hasn't aged a bit. Is he lubed and stored in a controlled environment in between videos?
Always fun and informative to watch this videos. Thanks!
Got my M1 as Christmas gift. Came across this four part series and have learned a LOT, have disassembled and reassembled watching videos and feel much more confident. Now for some range time. Thank you for a well thought presentation.
This is the best video ever on the M1 Garand. Master at work.
Excellent video. Great closeup. Needed closeup to ensure I will disassemble and clean my M1 GARAND the correct way. Thank you!
Thank you very much for this brownells. I cleaned my m1 today before I shot it for the first time.
That is one beautiful M1.
Thank you very much for these informative and nicely folksy videos!
Your voice is calming
Thanks!! I am going to parkerizing one and this is very useful for me
Bought a Brownells button rifled barrel for $150, Wolf operator rod spring $20, Boyds walnut stock $250. Looks and functions great.
Great info, as always. You should do more total disassembly videos. I've been restoring and maintaining a lot of firearms lately for friends and family, and I want to learn how to be a gunsmith. I disassemble the gun down to the smallest piece that I can safely do with my skill, remove anything any little speck of dust that a Marine Corps drill instructor could even dream of finding fault with, then give everything a coat of Ballistol, lubricate where needed, leave dry the parts that need to be dry, etc. The problem is, a lot of the firearms I've been working with aren't shown in YT videos. Or only the field strip phase is shown, or the disassembly won't show how to take the bolt and trigger group totally apart, or the person's hands are in the way so a specific step is poorly shown, etc. The worst is when there is a YT video that shows the steps required for total disassembly that I need to see, but it's part of a video about customization or high level gunsmith stuff that I can't do or don't have the tools for. So the video is named something else other than "Firearm X total disassembly and reassembly" or "Firearm X part Y total disassembly and reassembly," and so it takes me hours to find. So, if you would go through common firearms and show how to take them apart down to the last little spring with clearly and systematically named videos, I would greatly appreciate it. Firearms like the Savage 110, Marlin 880, and ones that there aren't videos for on YT. I think that would help a lot of people and spread firearm knowledge. Any help with how to clean, restore, and maintain firearms in general would also be appreciated. Thanks again for sharing free gun info
Any information is good information bud
If it hasn’t already been pointed out, when opening the bolt be sure it is locked back to it’s rearmost position. It is a fairly common mistake for the inexperienced to not pull it alll the way back and have the bolt catch on the back of the follower. This will hold it back but if the rifle is jarred or the follower is bumped even a little the bolt will slam shut. If a finger or thumb is in the way it will get smashed. You probably won’t bleed but you will cuss.
Awesome!!
Thank you so much.
Wow. So complicated. But the sight radius is incredible.

I know, it's quite a bit more complicated than an AK, I didn't think it would be.
Wish they had shown removing the gasblock screw with the G. I. issue Garand tool.
I can hear My Dad saying the same thing. Except ours were "loose" enough to "fall" apart and fall right back together.
Thank you!
thanks guys!
4:38 video for me turns into an hour long session because none of my parts come out as easy as in the video. 🤦🏼♂️
My garand has all new parts, so literally disassembling it is a workout.
Same bro, he slid the gas cylinder off so easily. I tried tugging on mine and there was no give.
It'll go easier the next time.
Really goes to show the simplicity of the AR and the genius of Stoner. What a nightmare this would have been in the field.
One hell of a field strip.
Great video! Thanks for making it!
Thanks! Make sure to subscribe for more!
Sir, you heled me so much
Trying to disassemble a Garand I just purchased for cleaning and the gas cylinder lock won't budge, any tips on how I could get it loose? Seems the previous owner didn't take care of it and it's lodged in the grooves pretty darn good
How do I take off the top handguard? I might get a CMP replacement stock how would I replace the rest of the wood?
I took the bolt apart one time without any specialized tools. It took me a 3 hours to put it back together. It's a real pain in the ass without the tools take my word for it.
can't wait to order a shuff's mini-G...
It would be so much easier for everyone if you put links to part 2, etc.... in the description.
In the East Mojave Desert we could make an empty paint can dance at 200 yards with open sights what the M1 Garand
Where is the phone number I call when I can’t get it back together? 😬
The gun shown in the barrel cleaning is an M-14
Are you sure that was'int a M-14A1? It looked a bit like it.
you guys are so off
M1A.
Good
Uhh at 0:45 isn't that an M1A,the civilian version of the M14?
I was taught to remove the action from the stock by holding the receiver and slapping down on the pistol grip of the stock to break it loose.
@@sonofizzy Look closer.
Yes,they are virtually the same rifle but there are differences.
@@doughesson I have had several Garands for years and still have an M1A (civilian version of the M14). I intimately know about them and their respective appearances. What is disassembled here is an M1 Garand. Have a good night.
@@sonofizzy not at the 0:45.
That is a for real M1A rifle my friend.
You have a good night too.
@@doughesson I repeat that the rifle which is being disassembled (and is the subject of the video) is a Garand. I will correct myself in that the rifle shown briefly with the yellow Garand Buddy in it is an M1A. So what? It is not the subject of the video. Again, have a good night. 😀
Can I use a bore snake on it with the m1 buddy?

I love youtube!
Remember to run the rear sight all the way down to not cause damage.
This was hard to do correction to keep up with
Please make a video to how to paint m1 garand and c96 german mouser
We will certainly pass on your suggestion to out video team! Thank you!
I have an M1 in .308. by Fulton Armory. Is this procedure the same for it?
Yes and no... But probably the same... Kinda
Similar to AK bolt, spring and gas piston
My M1 Garand does not have that trigger latch to remove the trigger assembly from the stock. It's just an empty part, maybe it once was? How do I remove the the trigger assembly when I don't have a latch? Could it be possible that since mine is a later H&R Model it won't have a latch?
did u ever figure it out? mine is the same way
Tury Ruiz I'm assuming you've both got a stamped trigger guard rather than the earlier milled type shown in the video. It doesn't have the hole in it like the one in the video and was made towards the end of WWII and into the post war years. Disassembly is the exact same as the milled. Use your finger and pull back on the rear of the trigger guard and then up.
I always wondered if the barrel gas port would slowly enlarge over time?
It erodes just like the muzzle and throat.
@@devildoc225 Thanks. :-)
Excellent Vid Sir.
Does anyone know how to track which person/soldier was issued these rifles? Thanks
Almost impossible. Unless the rifle comes with paperwork, such as an ordnance custody receipt, they are like finding a needle in a hay stack.
Всё ясно.
That operating rod spring has flattened edges! Replace it before your receiver cracks.
the tools used in this video where can these can be bought
bernard kircher Brownell's would be my guess
Here is a list of the specialty tools and Brownells part numbers.
-M1 Muzzle Buddy- 100-015-394.
-M1 Chamber Brush- 749-000-770.
-M1 Bolt Disassembly Tool- 080-818-000.
-M1 Muzzle Guard- 234-014-001.
-Lubriplate Grease- 311-130-014.
SUPERB RIFLE M I GARAND IN WORLD.NOT A SINGLE SCREW N NUT IN WHE ROFLE FOR JUST ASSEMBLING.I LOKE N LOVE GARAND M 1.
I HAVE THESE WEAPPN ON LEGAL LICENCE WOTH 18 CIIPS
I want one 🥺
I'm sitting here like, "You guys own one?"
1000th like
After opening the bolt to check the chamber, and then closing the bolt again, the narrator does not mention or show de-cocking the action before removing the trigger assembly.
The M1 Garand's I saw at the gun show were fine weapons and they have a lot of history. The price is also up there as well. I wanted one but after seeing the take down videos, No Thank You I will pass on this rifle.
Don't let disassembly and reassembly of an M1 Garand stop you from buying this weapon.
@@24Mansfield Exactly
Brownells products purchased from Optics Planet have no warranty
You guys have the completely wrong closed captions wtf
It's auto generated by youtube not these guys fault
I just realized my .308 rebuild is permanently bedded womp womp. I guess that bolt will just have to stay dirty.
Unless someone really screwed up the bedding job it should still come apart, although you really shouldn't take it apart often. Use a rubber mallet to pop it out.
@@rslover65 It turns out it was not bedded that way it was just a very very tight fit. Like hard enough it needed to be put in a vice and slowly coaxed out.
@@HaqqAttak that's good, it's not impossible that it was stuck, a bad bedding job will do that. I'm guessing it's a NM rifle?
@@rslover65 I do not know its origins. .308 is written in white on the side of the barrel. It may have been someone's one off job. It has problems with overgassing that seem to be worse than your average .308 somehow.
I fixed it with an adjustable gas plug but not before I destroyed a brand new bolt.
He forgot to mention to remove the barrel rings...
I need some help. My M1 will not let me pull back the bolt. As in when I go to pull back the action the bolt will not rotate. I thought it was ceased so I lubricated it very well and it still won't pull back or rotate. please help me
Hey Ryan! Because this could be due to a number of issues we suggest calling our Gun Techs at 800*-741-0015. They'll be able to assist in locating and remedying the issue.
I have dealt with Brownells a number of time x over the last many years and have found them to be extremely professional and very helpful. I'm 70 years old and I just purchased my first M1 Garand so I am looking forward to shooting and experiencing the Garand experience. Went through the USMC with the M14/M16, my Dad used the Garand/BAR, from Normandy to Remagen. SEMPER FI
0:46 that's an m14
It would be nice if the text wasn't covering what we are trying to watch why cant the text be at the top of the video ?
The follower mechanism is a bitch to assemble sometimes.
A little confusing. First we have an M1, then we have an M1A, then it's back to the M1. ???
Use a round (.30-06) to move the trigger to the rear. All you need to tear down an M1 is a .30-06 round. Never tap on the front sight to remove the gas cylinder. You should tap on the bayonet lug. You obviously don't know crap about an M1. USMC '69 - '73; Vietnam '71 - '72.
This series is for fudds, just soak the thing in oil with the bolt locked rearward
...AUSGEZEICHNET!!!!!
My gas cylinder will not slide off. Weird
Not weird. A tight fit is good. The gas cylinder should not be removed very often. Over time, the splines keeping it in place, will enlarge, and make a sloppy fit. Not a good thing for a part of the rifle operating under pressure. Last thing you need is gas leakage around the port.
Jeez Brownells could you go a little faster SMFH 🙄
This is an instructional video, slow down, show it twice, zoom in further, and explain a little how the part operates. Take better pride in your videos and remember most people are doing this for the first time.
There's really no need to Hellen Keller the chamber to know it's empty
I not recommend the disassembly beyond the basic at least you be a experienced do it
Who came here to watch M1 Macbook teardown? xD
That stock is horribly shaped and fitted.. my god. The amount of overhang and incorrect shaping around the trigger assembly compared to a correct stock is huge
My m1 doesnt take down like this
Then it's not an M1 Garand
Thankfully, I don't neen nobody to tell me how to maintain the U.S. Rifle, Caliber .30 M-1.
WHAT exactly, is an M-1 Garand?
Never heard of it.
I cant get the breach slide out the way he describes it, he's not doing a m1a, he has to be doing a m14??
