I have a book called The Complete M1Garand the part that concerns me is the operating rods they can work fine right up till they kill you can be one round away or five thousand at the least you will loose your boyish looks and maybe a nose or an eye,lefties usually die.It does have pictures of rods that should be safe,we have a collector nearby that lost his eye a few years ago at that time he had 16 of them he was using I need to find him again and see if it was an early or post rod that got him.Post was the safe ones.
