Note: With the standard gas plug that comes with the M1 Garand never shoot heavy grain bullets. You will bend the operating rod. See article below.

The Garand likes 147 grain ammo. Use that.

I use a ported gas plug from Garand Gear:
Here’s a quote from their website: “The Ported gas plug has a tuned port which increases the starting volume of the gas cylinder causing the peak gas pressures in the gas cylinder to drop by over 30%.”

To date, I have had no issues.
I love my Garand. It was sent to Korea but was never issued. I bought it many years ago from the CMP store in Anniston, AL.
I’ve put about 500 rounds of off the shelf Remington 150 grain .30-06 through my Grand with no problem. The CMP says any commercial SAAMI spec ammo is safe for the Garand.
Not same subject; but, as people get older, the operating spring gets harder to remove for cleaning. Any tools or ideas on removing?
I bought one but don’t use it, nice to have if “normal” Garand ammo gets scarce. Was able to buy 500 rds of M2 ball - always a hit at the range.
Totally unnecessary.
Garands are very substantial weapons and are generally not fragile antiques. I shoot, and own 3 of them. As long as you are not shooting heavy projectiles loaded for high speed, long range big game use, you should be just fine. Best rule of thumb (Garand joke intended), any 150 grain full metal jacket round produced by a reputable and known manufacturer is OK. Stay away from hand loads you have not personally produced, because you have no idea what was used in loading the round and how carefully it was measured.
Pingaroonie!
