It is a tool to make breakdown easier.

Did you put the trigger group back together exactly as it was before and test-fire it at the bench? If that went OK you just have some tight wood. Orlando's got a WW II photo on here somewhere of the rifle builders at Springfield whacking the trigger guards of new Garands with a big wooden mallet to close them. Heel of your hand will work.

Thanks bd1,worked like charm.Way back when I was a kid the Garands they gave us were a lot looser. :)

What would your DI say if he found you using that tool. LOL Semper Fi

Great tool. But I use a rubber mallet to close the guard, saves the hands

Probably call me a girl,in another way. :)

The only toll required for an M1 Rifle is a loaded cartridge. That thing likely bent the trigger guard.

Just slide the butt-swivel loop of your sling into the trigger guard behind the trigger and pull up and rearward. Even the tightest trigger groups come loose.

LOL, but we are not as young as we once were. I think the M1 I got in P.I. was about 6 or 7 lbs lighter than the ones I have now.
