Does anyone know if this item is still available? I got one McCann plug from the US years ago, but I'm not sure if it is still available to ship to Canada. I have another Garand and need such a plug.

Any information welcome!

Many thanks,

Are you looking for an adjustable "gas cylinder lock screw"? Brownell's sells SCHUSTER adjustable gas cylinder lock screw.

But honestly, you don't need an adjustable one. The normal one is just fine. If you need one, they seem difficult to find right now. Again, Brownell's sells the FULTON ARMORY one.

The idea that you need an adjustable one has been shown to be false. CMP (THE Garand experts) have said that standard 30-06 ammo is ok. If you are using hot loads or something, well then yes, you probably need an adjustable one, but you are probably also putting your entire rifle at risk. 70 year old guns shouldn't be used to fire loads hotter than the gun was originaly designed for.

Ya maybe so but why not have a 70 year old gun run a bit easier with and adjustable plug. I feel its an upgrade. Many guns have adjustable gas systems that are a selling features. Also be nice to not have chase brass all over the countryside or try and make a new hole in my face on ejection (lefty shooter). Lots of win wins as i see it.

Very true. Even the company selling the plug is providing pressure chart that show a bunch of commercial ammo safe to shoot https://www.garandgear.com/the-m1-garand-and-commercial-ammunition/

The m1 was design to shoot many different catridge with different pressure. (M1,M2,Ap, etc) I will rather invest in new spring for the op rod than a gas plug.

If your goal is to not through brass all over, sure, I guess that works. I don't think modern parts will ever increase resale value of a Mil-Surp rifle.

That is so true!!! A light Op Rod Spring will cause all kinds of problems including damage that many people would associate with "you should have used an adjustable gas plug". A much better investment.
