I am in the process of upgrading my M1 Garand. I just had a new Criterion barrel installed by Orion 7, and I am in the process of installing and fitting a new Boyds stock to her. In addition, I have bought a Schuster WWII style gas nut and I will install that once I get ready to test fire. My question is regarding the Schuster nut, for those who have adjusted them what setting are you using for M2 ball and Privi 30-06?

The schuster I have in my M1 doesn't have a "setting", at least I didn't see it that way.
I screwed mine out till it wouldn't eject and then turned it back in a 1/2 turn farther in from where it started to eject. So far all I've shot is HXP surplus or reloads that attempt to duplicate M2 Ball rounds. Works fine. |

Also, throw away the lock nut that comes with the nut, its not necessary. BTW - "Schuster" is the guy who does all my shop work and posts here on arfcom under GreenM4Guy if you want to IM him any questions directly. |

I would really love to know why the lock nut does not have a bottom in it. So many people put that lock nut in and the wrench goes through it and they turn the jet nut. It drives me nuts. |

Just throw the lock nut away. Adjust the gas nut so your weapon functions, and after a few shots the carbon build up in the threads will hold it in place. The only reason the locking nut exists is because people kept calling Schusters asking for one because the think the need it. This is why the wrench goes though, its a useless piece that's just included for the "palcebo" effect. Just goes to show most gun owners spend more time looking at and playing with their rifles instead of shooting them. |

The problem comes when you are trying to deliver a product to customers. In that case I include the Schuster instructions with the rifle. All my Mini-G's get adjustable gas lock screws. The customer will read those Schuster instructions and become terribly confused when that lock screw is tightened and they inadvertently adjust the jet screw. They then call ME. I tell them not to use the lock screw but they then give me the argument that it must be included for a reason. It's a terrible tiring process to repeat over and over again. It's become so tiring that I switched to the McCann's even though the Schusters has a much broader range of adjustment. My advice (as if it means anything) put a bottom in the set screw, quit including the darn set screw or include in the directions that it's not needed. Schusters carries much more weight in instructing people to use their products than a secondary vendor. |
