Gentlemen,
I have a question to ask you guys about your M1 Garand. Here we go. Whether you received it from the CMP or from a dealer, how many of you take the M1 Garand apart, clean it, apply grease, check parts, maybe change a stock or small parts, and then put the rifle back together and leave it as is? Or are you the type who would parkerize all the parts, boil the stock or run it through the dishwasher, or use oven cleaner on it, etc., and change major parts like a barrel or bolt to make it pretty/correct ? Do you think it has lost some of its historical value by basically re-building the gun?
Thanks again
