Hello all! I have a Cmp m1 garand that I recently received. I have put 40 rounds through and loading it was near impossible. It took two hands and a load of effort to put the clip in. I disassembled/reassembled and greased/oiled it before ever fireing it. Could I have put something back incorrectly? I haven't cleaned it since fireing it so I'm due to disassemble. I got some dummy rounds and I noticed I can easily load 7rd clips in with 0 resistance. Is this something I need to warranty with cmp? Thanks for the help.

(EDIT) Had to further examination, it appears that I had some bad clips in my lot that were causing the difficult loading. Surplus USGI and some new remanufacturer ones both work. I just had two out of eight that were defective or need modification. Thank you to all who helped

Hello, I have a question on my m1 garand wondering if anyone can help, I'm a new owner to the m1 garan. It's a cmp expert grade m1 with a Philips style gas plug and Im having difficulty finding a key for it. Most of the keys I'm finding are Philips Style. I purchased a replacement plug that is the more common style for future maintenance. The current plug is also not compatible with a Korean era bayonet which the new plug should also fix. Thanks for any help.
