| Im looking for someone local to SE WI into M1 Garands. Looking for someone with a bunch of gas cylinder locks, the two ive tried on my H&R locked up at 11 and 12, so i have to back them off and it leaves alot of slop in the handguards, i want to be able to try a few without having to order a bunch i don't need. I know this is " acceptable" for a service grade M1, but it annoys the hell out of me. My dads H&R and Century M1s lock up tight! |

There is supposed to be some play in it or the handguard can crack from heat expansion. I have one extra lock if you want to try it. If you have a larger polishing stone you can take some material off the contact side until it comes around to 7 o'clock and then back it off. |

The gas cylinder lock provides no primary "tightening" function. It is for locating only. if the handgaurds are too tight it can adversely affect accuracy. i know there is suposed to be some play in it, mine has alot of play that i would like to get rid of a majority of, it seems excessive compared to the numerous M1s ive handled. |
