Hello. I am currently in the process of dissasembling and repairing the M1 Garands for my JROTC Battalion. I have sucessfully dissasembled a few when I came across a problem. Several of the rifles do not release the trigger guard (durring the first step of dissasembly)
This picture features both types of trigger guards we have at our school. I dont know if the type makes a difference.
So far, all of the trigger guards that will not unlock are of the style featured in the main picture. I have only encountered 1 so far that is of the style featured in the inset, and have been able to unlock it and dissasemble the rifle. I have dissasembled 1 rifle with the main picture's trigger guard.
I hope one of you can help me. After about an hour, I will not be able to access the rifles for a week because of spring break, so if that is the case I wont be try a solution until then. Thanks.
