M1 Garand Operating Op Rod Spring US Made

So far, so good! Much better than the GI spring in my M1 (Field Grade, Springfield 1943) from the CMP. It was kinked in the middle and looked like a slinky when I pulled it out of the op rod tube!!! I'm an M1 Newbie so I just slapped it all back together after I did my first field strip. The spring sounded like a creaking screen door... uh oh!! A quick shake through Google and the CMP forums, I ended up putting a light grease coat on the first about 6 inches of the spring. My second step was to make sure all the cobwebs, dirt, cosmoline and beach sand(!) get out of the op rod tube. I hosed mine out with brake cleaner, blew it out with an air hose and ran a mop with a little light oil , followed by a dry patch. I reassembled everything and the result was that the spring, op rod and bolt made that beautiful, military, solid engagement sound. Rifle was shot last weekend, perfect function, no FTF, FTE bolt locked back on the last round and no issues. Excellent product and if you get an M1 with unknown conditions of parts, a new op rod spring is cheap insurance.

Perfect fit for my 1942 Garand. I hadn't changed out the operating rod spring in 20 years, and started having feeding issues recently. This new spring was 2 inches longer than my old spring, so obviously the old spring was worn out. Took it to the range the next day, and the rifle functioned flawlessly. Excellent product, quick delivery, just what the old girl needed.

Had it for a year now and my M1 has run flawless for 100s of rounds.

Literally is just another spring for the M1 Garand. Fits well and is up to spec if not a little more so.

As advertised. Would absolutely buy again.
