extras for a garand.

[eighteenninetytwo]

Garand incoming from Dupage. What additional items should I have in stock. What springs n bits n bobs are considered essential. I'm going to be converting this to 7.62 NATO at some point so please bear that in mind. I've heard that a gas plus which provides for different power cartridges is not a bad idea.

[RugerNo1]

If you plan to shoot commercial "regular" pressure 30-06 loads then one of the aftermarket gas plugs is nice.

I like having all of my ammo for the day already on clips, and in an old surplus green ammo can, so I bought a ton of clips from Sarco.

[TRICKSTER]

Buy a 7.62 barreled receiver from CMP. Switch out the parts from your Dupage Garand and sell the 30-06 barreled receiver. You now have a historically accurate 7.62 NATO Garand.

Not a citizen. CMP not an option.

[G-forceJunkie]

Garand tool or at least a gas plug wrench.

Blasphemy! IMO Garand is 30-06.

[rojocorsa]

Clips.

M-1 tool for gas plug.

[Buffalo Dude]

A sling, gas tube wrench, and some ammo.

[Kablemodem]

Grease. You might also want to get a spring kit from Orion 7.

[Baboosh]

For grease get Mobil 1 synthetic. It'll last you a very long time.

[Orlando]

Only thing you really need is replace the Op Rod spring with one from Orion 7, grease and eventually a chamber brush. You dont need any fancy tool to remove gas screw.
Look in you toolbox for a 1/4 inch drive ratchet and extension. It fits prefecty into the cross slot style plug and tightens better than a combo tool

This, fo sure.

[Orlando]

This, fo sure.

Really? The Navy chambered the Garand in 7.62x51

[mls343]

Might as well make it complete and get a bayonet. Order as much much ammo as you can afford.

[Standard]

Glad to see you went the Dupage route.
Sling, ammo, bayonet, Garandgear gas plug, clips, and check out the stuff from Olongapo Outfitters for ammo holding options.
