Hey guys, I bought an Marushin M1 garand like 3 years ago and I had so many problems with it after I had it for a few weeks that I put it into storage. I just pulled it back out and am really on a quest to get this thing working right. Does anyone have any suggestions on the steps I could take to get it fixed. Is there someone that I could send it to that deals with the garand's problems. Need help asap!!!

NONE SHALL KNOW THE PROBLEMS OF MY GARAND! If we had an idea of the problem more descriptive than "It's all bad n' stuff" then someone might be able to help you.

from what I remember I would load the gas in, pull the trigger and a bb would fire the appropriate range. Then the rest of the gas would unload on the second squeeze of the trigger. After that, the bbs never shot as far as they were supposed to. I pull the trigger and the bb just spat out onto the ground. The gas would just leak out of the trigger housing.

Have you ever cleaned it?

cleaned it to what extent? I don't know how to field strip it down all the way if that's what you mean

There's your problem. That gun is VERY high maintenance and will need to be cleaned thoroughly after every game. Google Marushin M1 Garand field strip and figure it out. Once it's down, clean everything and re lube with silicon oil.

Mine came in a state of looseness. I don't know if it was never tightened up at the factory, or just got loose in the mail. First make sure every hex screw you can find is tight (and if the handguard is loose you must remove the gas plug and tighten the outer barrel). Second, remove the pistons (one at a time) and lube them as well as any other moving part (silicon oil made for airsoft only). Three, use green gas or a 134a/green gas mixture which will move things along better. Four, accept that this rifle is not an AEG in the sense that it is a highly sophisticated, prone to malfunction rifle that will kick your mags out in the tall grass, and you will need to fill it with gas after 20 rounds (or less unless you rig up a compressed air tank and hose), and unless everyone else is using a similar rifle (or a springer) you are at a big disadvantage. That is probably why those of us who own a Marushin also have an M1 Garand conversion AEG that is less problematic, and can compete on an airsoft field by using the M14 mag (even though it looks odious). I think owning a Marushin demands that you learn to work on them and make them work as they should.
