what is the easiest way to release the trigger guard on my m1 ? it doesn't have the loop at the back of the trigger guard. i'm trying not to bugger up the guard and or stock.

Pull back and down and it will pop out. If your hands are not strong enough you can use a wood dowel to do it and it will not harm it. The earlier of the stamped guards have a milled latch that has to be pulled back like the milled guards.

i think the problem was i was not pulling back first, just down. thanks CC !

You'll like your RM1SPECIAL. I've been using mine for a year now as a general purpose utility rifle on my land. Seems a little lighter than other Garands, more accurate and the stock is trimmed to the early WWII profile; much nicer to handle.

Hi Smoky: this is an old post, over two years, but I was wondering what is a RM1Special? I inquired at the range, the Troopers didn’t know, I was wondering, sounds lighter, with some good other points! AJ

The RM1Special is a rifle that the CMP completely disassembled, cleaned, checked all parts and replaced bad parts. Repark all parts, install a new CMP stock and new Criton barrel.

I like to call mine”my 79 year old new rifle”.
