M1 Garand Gas Cylinder Lock Screw – Original USGI

This M1 Garand gas cylinder lock screw is an original U.S. surplus part with a parkerized finish in good condition. It threads through the gas cylinder lock and into the gas cylinder, where it helps secure the front gas system assembly in place. In addition, original examples can vary by maker and year of manufacture, which is normal for authentic USGI parts.

The gas cylinder lock screw is a small part, but it plays an important role in the rifle’s operation. It helps hold the gas cylinder assembly together at the front end of the rifle, and later vented examples also incorporated a relief valve for grenade-launching use. Because of that, original examples remain useful for restoration work, replacement needs, and correct-period parts inventory.

Original Garand gas system details

This listing is for an original USGI example rather than a modern reproduction. It has the correct military-style parkerized finish and comes in good condition. Since these are surplus parts, small production differences may appear from one example to another. Those variations can include maker markings, machining details, and year-of-manufacture changes. The part also went through several design changes over time, which is why variation is common among original pieces.

Correct part for restoration and replacement

Small front-end parts matter when restoring a Garand with original components. Therefore, an original lock screw helps preserve both the correct look and the proper character of the rifle’s gas system. It also gives buyers a real military part for repair work, restoration projects, or spare parts use.
