What part on the M1 if it breaks..

Gentlemen,
....Would take the M1 Garand out of action until replaced. I think it is one spare part that all M1 Garand shooters should carry with them to the range.
Let me know what you think it is.
Thanks again
Clancy

The only thing that is common that I've had problems with is the bullet guide. They don't really break, but cause feed problems. Also get a spare op-rod spring from Orion7.

One Broken Part...

Firing pin.

No firing pin, no bang!

Extractor.

No extraction, no ability to feed the next round, even manually.

Firing pin . . . but you could still use it as a club or a nice holder for a bayonet.

Extractor Plus Spring and Plunger. It would cause the bolt and all of it parts to fall apart. Ejector plus spring and plunger. VERY hard to FIND in the grass or stone. I just carry a spart bolt. But then again I cheat. VERY OLD TRICK. Take the wife's RED nail polish and paint it on the springs and plungers. Looks goofy but helps when hunting them at the range or on the rug in the house.
Thanks again Sir
Clancy
