Your rifle probably could use greasing up. This is a good reference for lubrication of a Garand: Home page (garandgear.com)
Lots of great information here: M1 Garand Tutorials (garandgear.com)The thief may possess something he stole, but he does not own it.
The owner has a right to take his property back from the thief.

1) Your follower is installed backwards.
2) You are trying to install the full enbloc without the bolt locked fully to the rear which you can't do with the follower in backwards.
3) No amount of greasing or lubrication will help the above until you properly install the follower.
4) 30-06 rounds will not fit in a 308 chamber. The chamber is substantially shorter and the bolt would never close.
5) It doesn't take a special enbloc, nor do you need a spacer to use 308 in a Garand chambered for 308. But IT DOES take a rifle chambered for 308. Well, kinda'. You could fire a 308 round in a 30-06 chambered rifle but you'll have the weirdest looking fired brass you've ever seen.
