I've been having some problems with my M1 so I need to give it a thorough cleaning to make sure I don't have a bigger problem. I need a nice manual to help me disassemble and lube it. Any of you M1 guys recomend a certain book or should I just go with the cheapest one

I like SurplusRifle.com for their assembly/disassembly articles because they have a good selection of photo illustrations. Here is a good copy of the military field manual FM 23-5 for the U.S. Rifle, CALIBER .30, M1:

The M1 Garand: Owner's Guide - Disassembly, assembly, inspection, repair, cleaning, zeroing, and more. All copies signed by Scott Duff!
Written specifically for the M1 rifleman. With interest in the Garand at levels not previously experienced, new owners often have questions about their recent acquisition. Most common among them are: "Who made my rifle and when?" "How do I take it apart and put it back together?" "How do I clean, lubricate, and maintain it?" This book will answer those questions.
The civilian owner of an M1 rifle is faced with maintenance activities not encountered by military users. The owner must understand the operation and function of the rifle, and be proficient at dissasembly, assembly, inspection, and replacement of individual components. the purpose of this book is to impart that information to the reader which is necessary to develop the knowledge and ability to perform those tasks. Acquisition of these skills will inspire confidence at the work bench and rifle range!
