Schuster adjustable gas plug. Easy install/adjust for whatever load you like. Easy switch out with original for M2 surplus.

The Orion 7 op rod spring has an excellent reputation.
The age of the springs in the Garands is unknown so replacing the op rod spring is cheap insurance.
From the Orion 7 site.
"We went back to the original Springfield Armory drawings to duplicate the original spring with one exception. Our new springs are manufactured from the highest quality 17-7 STAINLESS STEEL wire available in the industry. Superior over the standard carbon wire springs made during the war years. We now can offer what we believe is the finest main spring ever made for the M1 Rifle! These springs are manufactured exclusively for Orion 7 Enterprises Inc. right here in the USA on state of the art machinery and using the finest quality wire on the market. Samples were tested and the computer projected continuous cycle readings recorded were off the scale! We are so confident that you will agree with us that these are the best M1 rifle main springs made, we will offer you a free replacement guarantee* if our spring ever rusts, fails or wears out. No questions asked!"

Well, @ $8/ea, they don't seem to be trying to take advantage of the unwary, so I'll give you a bye on this. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, after all! Still would prefer to seen one in a known superior spring material like chrome-silicon tho'...

There is not alot of difference in the material specs between the two except the stainless has a higher maximum operating temperature and corrosion resistance.
