Korean war not withstanding, Hatcher's "Book of the Garand" is without a doubt the best recourse for the Garand you'll find, and I have several.

It covers the history, maintainence, trouble shooting, repair, ammo, use in combat and competition.

I covers using the Garand in the Jungles of the South Pacific, Deserts of North Africa, the surf at Normandy, and the frigid temps at Bastogne.

No Garand owner should be without this book.

Oh and get a bayonet, Garand's are suppose to have bayonets. Get the type that is period for your M1.
