How to Disassemble and Reassemble the Garand Bolt. Reassembly Instructions 14 Return the firing pin to the bolt. The combo tool can be used to do the following tasks:. The most obvious part of the combo-tool is a chamber brush.

Frankly we prefer to use a pistol brush on the M1 chamber. These parts require a special tool for re-installation. This pin holds the lower band onto the barrel. This Pin can be solid or the more common roll pin type.

Inspect the lower band and determine if one end of the Lower band has been peened over. Sometimes the lower band pin can only be removed in one direction. Be very careful with the rear handguard and clip. The wood is very thin and handguards crack very easily from mishandling. We do not recommend removing the rear handguard clip. Start by grasping the elevation knob on the left side of the receiver and make sure the screw is not loose.

Use an appropriate-sized standard screwdriver and turn it clockwise to tighten. The elevation knob will want to spin while you are tightening the screw. Hold the knob with your free hand when tightening. The screw will remain captured in the knob when loose. Hold the elevation knob with your free hand and unscrew the windage knob counterclockwise until it comes free from the sight.

When you re-assemble the rear sight, apply a thin coating of grease on the detents on the receiver where the knobs rotate. This will decrease the wear on the knobs and allow for a smooth sight adjustment.

Slide the rear sight base back towards the heel of the receiver as shown below. This will cause the rear sight spring to pop out. Be sure to use a piece of cloth under the screwdriver to prevent it from marring the finish on the receiver when prying.

This clip should never need to be removed unless it is broken or the wood is being refinished. Follow the instructions that come with the tool to remove the clip. These parts were never designed to be removed once installed. The only reason to remove these is to refinish the wood or replace a broken part. These parts can be removed but at some risk to the wood and the parts themselves. To remove the spacer you have to bend back the Tabs holding the ferrule on and slide out the spacer.

However, bending the tabs often damages the parkerizing and work hardens the bend. A special tool needs to be used to properly reinstall the spacer when finished. The ferrule can sometimes be wedged on so firmly that damage to the wood occurs upon removal. Forcing it damages the part and often mars the wood in the process.

The Spacer tool used during the installation of the liner is shown below with the spacer and ferrule. A tight stock ferrule is important to maintaining accuracy potential. Do not remove the ferrule unless you have to.

On many M1 Garands, the screw holding the ferrule on has been staked and cannot be removed without damaging the part.
