Re-Assembling The Feed / Action Assembly The M1 Garand
 

The next step is to insert the Slide & Follower Assembly. Before actually placing this assembly lightly grease the grooves that the follower rides in.

It is possible to put the Follower Assembly in incorrectly. The proper orientation s shown below.

Before placing the assembly confirm that the bolt is fully forward and I simply drop the assembly in while making sure that the guides on the sides of the assembly are squarely in the groves on the receiver.

Once the Slide and Follower Assembly are in place, only one more part needs to be put in place before pinning these parts together. That part is the Follower Arm.

Note the orientation of the Follower Arm below. This is the correct orientation. Be aware that the rear part of the Follower Arm threads through the Bullet Guide. The two holes in the front of the Follower Arm will nestle down beside the tip end of the Bullet Guide just behind where the guide contacts the Accelerator.

When finally positioned the holes from the Bullet Guide, The Operating Rod Catch, the Follower Rod, and the Holes in the Receiver will all line up perfectly.

As we lower the Follower Arm into position we must also insert the tail end of it into the Follower Assembly. WeI do this by lifting the Follower Assembly about half way up and sliding the Follower Arm into the groves cut in the Follower as shown below.

Now it is time to pin it all together.
