Okay, my father-in-law (Korean war vet) was robbed and among other things his rifle was stolen. Being the good son-in-law I decided we both needed an M1 Garand to help us recover. I've ordered 2 from CMP and have never ordered from them before and I have a couple questions. What are the basics I need to accessorize them with? Cleaning kits, slings, some type of "tool", etc. and where should I get them? Midway, CMP somewhere else? He will more than likely never shoot his, I will shoot mine. Also, do all CMP rifles come coated in cosmoline and if so are there any "tricks" to getting them ready to fire? Sorry for all the questions - but it's all new to me. Also, any reference books/bibles to get that would help me not have to bother everyone with the normal/mundane questions I'll have? Thanks for everyone's help.
