M1 Garand Firearm Maintenance: Part 3 Lubrication

[@codymoncrief8478]

"Apply only a thin layer of grease." *applies huge gobs :D . One must realize that this is likely exaggerated on purpose to show the location of application. A thin coat, enough to make the surface shiny, is adequate

[@Musafir091]

One question... Can we fire a weapon after being applied with the greace? We usually oil the gun as a lubricant. And gun fires well after being oiled.

[@codymoncrief8478]

@@Musafir091 it depends entirely on the design of the gun. Different designs have different required lubricants, so it is best to research the original instructions from the manufacturer.

[@Palo_Duro]

@@Musafir091 M1 Garand is a grease gun. Grease where he says to grease, except CMP says never grease the trigger parts where he does. Not sure why he says to do this. Oil where he says to oil. Don't just use oil, use both for this particular firearm.

@@codymoncrief8478 Thank you dear. Stay safe ❤️

[@Musafir091]

@@Palo_Duro Got it. Thanks a lot ❤️🙏

[@allenroblin2372]

ANY spot that has a shine where finish is worn off, indicates metal to metal contact should apply LIGHT coat of grease. I don't lube trigger parts.

[@tuberaider]

While he was painting the grease onto the receiver, I was reminded of the Bob Ross show - The Joy of Painting... LOL. "Lets make a little fluffy cloud of lubriplate over here... then let's add some white capped mountains of grease under the barrel for the op rod, and lastly, some trees on the side of the bolt lug recess..." kzbin.info/www/bejne/pqiYdod9ns51iMk

awesome my husband uncle is about to give my husband his m1 garand. my husband has been wanting one since he was a kid!

[@PsychopathicV2]

Great for him. Wanted one since I was a kid too. Finally got it a month ago. If your husband is anything like me he’s going to annoy you with the ping on ejecting the clip.

Thank you so much for these videos. I'm following them carefully. :)

[@GenasysMech]

Good ole Lubriplate, this stuff has been around for 50 years......or more. It's used by the drum for lubrication in industrial applications such as high speed bearings, etc., even jet engines. It's Lithium based and won't melt in a gun which runs cold by comparison to other equipment. The only problem I saw in this video is it was applied way too liberally. As for oil, I use a "micro" molecule oil such as Z-Max which actually penetrates into the grain of the metal that literally forms an imbedded "oil shield" that doesn't wear off, collect dust and really cuts the friction. Oh and by the way......try using an air compressor once in a while to remove particulates instead of just washing them around with cleaner.

+ 2 on the air compressor.

[@acars9999]

Great video! Thanks for making it!

[@rdavisabc]

Do not, do not, do not grease the trigger hooks or sear. These need to be perfectly dry in order to prevent accidental discharge. The hooks prevent the hammer release until the trigger is pulled; grease these and you risk the hammer slipping off the hooks. Again, do not grease the hooks or sear!

[@GenasysMech]

If you're depending on friction for proper trigger/sear latch operation.........you've got worn parts.

[@w.rustylane5650]

You got that right. No GREASE on the hammer or sear hooks. Obviously he don't know what he's doing. Probably never served in the military or he'd know how to properly lube a rifle.

[@ethanleveque]

1:45 would you recommend putting oil on op rod?

[@adamorand88]

@@GenasysMech It's an M1 Garand. It's extremely likely to have worn parts. These rifles are potentially over 80 years old.

[@comodice905]

Bloke watch the video and pay attention. He said to grease umm...do as ur told and don't try to bee a hero troll phoolish Folly begets u bucko....pues Como que en El Dia en que LA conoci ist dein Auf Das licht is bucko got it. Not proof or evidence m1 garand ever had unintentional discharge due to grease or ur explosive diherrea blokey

[@roverman985]

WOW that was light coat? What's his version of heavy coat? Drop in a 50 gal barrel of crude oil?

[@Powerkicker]

Why are we greasing trigger contact surfaces? Seems dangerous at worst, needless at best.

[@sinner175]

Thank you!

[@jth877]

Holy crap. DO NOT GREASE THE HAMMER HOOK OR SEAR! Light oil film only.

[@papiparsons9045]

Why isn’t there any links to any of the products used in video? Great info BTW

[@TheTallMan67]

This is a big help. Is there lists to the products on Brownells?

[@Raider1836]

I'm curious about luring the op rod spring? Garand Gear says to coat with liberal amounts of grease, and you suggested CLP? Does it matter? Not being a smart aleck.

[@MFricke91]

would you lubricate a m1 carbine the same way?

[@govols1995]

The carbine shoots a much lighter round and grease could more easily gunk up and cause performance issues, regular gun oil should suffice.

[@dakkadakka9189]

​@@govols1995a light smear along the oprod contact points probably wouldnt be a terrible idea especially if the firearm is only being used for recreation

[@michaeljordon704]

Would u ever use just oil or just grease for all lubrication

[@brownells]

Only use a high quality gun oil for lubrication. Browning does not recommend using grease. Please watch part 4 of our Browning A5 Maintenance Series: Lubrication for detailed instructions. kzbin.info/www/bejne/q4m1lYCCes-HecU&annotation_id=annotation_2193208169&feature=iv&src_vid=ILjILhMOAsc

[@michaeljordon704]

For the M1 grand would you ever use only gun oil How about for a revolver would you ever use only gun oil or grease

[@brownells]

M1 Garands require both grease and oil. Never oil only. If it slides - Grease it. If it rotates - Oil it. Usually is it best to use oil only on revolvers but you will always need to check the owner’s manual to see what the manufacturer suggests.

[@YoBoyNeptune]

Does 1 step cleaner and lubricant work well?

[@jagzilla1398]

I won't use it..I do the same thing he suggests. Except I use 5w-50 synthetic motor oil and Lucas X-tra grease..

[@icejjfish2191]

How often should I grease it? Like approx how many rounds I don’t shoot often so just wondering

[@WhattAreYouSaying]

That depends on different factors. I lubricate again when the action starts to get sticky. If it's hard to open or close, then it needs more oil. I recommend wiping off the old oil before applying new oil.

[@Musafir091]

[@walksfletcher]

That's a LOT of grease and oil.

[@mikezahm9546]

Too much grease.
