I don't think you want to get any of that Tung oil on the metal. J/S.. Wait what steel wool ? OMG. more Tung oil 🤔. Did you steel wool the metal again ? 🤦

The rifle on everyones bucket list. Cant go wrong

I guess if you have a really old dry stock Tung oil works great, but for me nothing beats Ballistol on my gun, steel, and wood to make it pop! Especially wood presentation cases. Makes them like new and makes scratches disappear.

How is it holding up?

Obviously not a wood worker.

get some shine juice from vice grip garage

Dumb question, how do I know if there is a clear coat or lacquer I inherited ww1 shotgun that was in closet for 50+ years, I put tung oil but kinda looks patchy now. I don't want to completely refinish just make sure wood is OK. Thanks

Cut the crappy music - it does not belong in your video- It has greater meaning than your attempt at making a few dollars

Beautiful !!! Looks just the one I was given in 1957 in my stint in the regulars. Best military rifle ever devised. Began firing the M-1 in 1954 as a member of the National Guard.

I agree with woodworker in separating the wood from metal to fully treat all the wood areas. But good job nonetheless! She sure looks good!😊

Nice job

It looks much higher grade than rack or field grade

Is rust an issue in NC? This is a nice rig. Should be fun to work on and drive.

You did it wrong

The ersatz porn music and loving caress, priceless! 😂 Nice rifle.

What a beauty !

Now you have to apply tung oil UNDER the steel parts and get it OFF the STEEL. Take it apart first, Hang the wood up and APPLY IT CORRECTLY.

I love my IHC expert. A less expensive option is the CMP Rack Special at $900.00.

I’ve used Tru Oil on two CMP stocks.I applied extremely sparingly with my bare hand rubbing it in so that immediately goes in. I did this for over a week every day. You’re done when it stops immediately soaking in.

Take the stock off first my friend!

Does this make it permanent shiny like linseed oil.....or does it just keep the wood protected. I want to keep my stock nice but I don't want it to be glossy.

Such a beautiful gun so many were made yet they are expensive now 😢 been wanting one so bad can’t see myself spending $2,500+

I bought an expert model last year. But, I completely disassembled mine so that I wouldn't get Tung oil on the metal and could get it everywhere on the wood. I first gave it a light sanding and applied the first coat by wet sanding it in with 400 grit fabric backed sandpaper. I let it dry 24 hours and then applied a seven more coats allowing 24 hours between each coat. Between each coat I wiped it down to remove any oil that had not dried. After the 7th coat I wiped it down the next day and then let it dry for 2 weeks so that it was completely dry. I then applied a good coat of Renaissance Wax to everything including the metal. This is one of the best waxes there is. It was created by people doing restoration and protection of museum pieces and it's not expensive and goes a long way.

I really need to order one. I believe I qualify by being a retired MSgt and having qualified expert marksmanship. I need to look deeper into the CMP requirements.

WOW! Aside from a couple of scratches it looks brand new!

What a presentation, 👏 👏 👏 I'm so proud of you!!

Put an acog on it

Strip all the metal off, then put a few drops on your hands and take your time and rub it in !... just like putting sun tan lotion on the niciest booty you have seen!

Nice gun!.. i have had several!... that wood needs some boiled linseed

Boiled linseed oil works better, IMO.

Congrats, she looks GORGEOUS! CLEAN UP, isle 5! And by aisle 5, I mean the front of my pants 😂

That is a lazy man's way of doing it. Strip the stock down and wait at least 72 plus hours in between coats.

As overhyped as I think this rifle is, with the "ping" fetish and all that, I must admit: she's one gorgeous piece.

I was a wolfhound too Hawija 06-07 where did you get the wall flag?

Suggestion for some of you boys... Take the barreled receiver OUT of the stock and rub continuously WITH the grain especially with Walnut. AND (EDIT) treat the INSIDE of the stock and BEHIND the butt plate as well which are also steps lost on many. For me (personal OPINION), I like the near coffee black furniture on my Garands and M1A's with Overton-TRW and a OM stocks. And that often involves using an alcohol based stain AFTER any remnants of cosomoline, grease, grit, dirt is cleaned off the wood. Light color stocks don't do it for me. Don't understand how some seem fine with a pretty-ized museum piece of wood on a milsurp... and worse yet some will actually POLISH them to a high gloss. That's a sacrilege. Why have own a milsurp at all? Mind as well just get a poly-plastic gun in one of those sickening "desert" colors they make now. Even pink! George Patton must be twisting in his grave. This is a MAIN BATTLE RIFLE. A Man's rifle built by American Craftsmen, for Men. And arguably it remains the finest rifle ever designed let alone built. A milestone of American expertise in mechanical engineering even though John C. was a canadian by birth. It is not a toy. Can you imagine if the Garand had been built today? SA, H&R, IHC, WIN, would be sued out of existence by numayles getting their dainty little thumbs mashed between the breech and the bolt.

You should have taken the gun apart.

Ideally you should completely dismantle the stock into its 3 individual piece and apply tung oil to all inside surfaces as well. You should also remove all metal, the baseplate, and forestock clips and barrel guide.

I brought my M- 1 home from Viet Nam in a duffel bag as they were changing from That to the M- 14 at that time!! government did not care as they had no plans to keep any of the old guns!!!!

Slamn… this is gun porn , not good “lasting for her pleasure” results. Dissemble the whole thing & start from “straight” wood…

Wolfhounds!

Nice specimen. What grade? It appears to be a new stock. Did you go with 308 or leave it in 30.06? Agree with over hype on Tung Oil. I would have stripped it down and completely coated, in about a month considered how many more coatings to go. Great vid.Glad it turned out well, It looks great.

Easy to purchase from CMP .

A piece of History !!!

I got their service grade +1 barrel and throat. Pretty nice rifle but I’m unable to take off the gas lock screw, it’s so tight. Was yours the same?

Thank you for showing. Does it need this every year?

Please disassemble the poor thing before putting the Tung oil on it.😱 And don't steel wool the nice Parkerized parts..😱😱

Awesome, beautiful gun! I got one of my own recently! Springfield also! 1942! CMP Expert Grade! M1 Garand is the Hero!!!🇺🇸💥🇺🇸

Why the F did you spoil the video with that ridiculous chamber flag?

I am in the process of getting a M1 thru CMP. I find the M1 a true piece of art. Enjoyed your clip😊
