How We Reassemble The Feed / Action Assembly The M1 Garand
 

When all of the parts are in place it is time to pin the assembly together. Generally this isn't much of a struggle.

One little trick that makes alignment of the parts much easier is to take the pressure off of the Operating Rod Catch by depressing the Clip Latch. By depressing the Clip Latch on the outer left part of the receiver, we can relive all of the spring tension on the assembly. This truly makes lining the parts up much more simple.

When all of the parts are lined up the Follower Arm Pin is inserted from the right side of the receiver. The pin is threaded through the holes in the Follower Arm and Bullet Guide and then into the other side of the Receiver. It should come to rest flush against the receiver leg.

Now that the lubricant wont be in the way, grease the 'swollen' part of the barrel where the Operating Rod will ride.

Having completed most of the assembly, all that is left to finish up is to put the Operating Rod Spring and the Follower Rod in.
