New M1A purchased, advice needed

Creedmore or one of the other suppliers makes a bolt holdopen/cleaning tray that fits the M1/M1A/M14. Very handy. A gas cylinder wrench is the thing for when you eventually need to remove the cylinder. Hopefully yours isn't installed to 300 foot pounds like mine was when new... Anti-seize compound (Permatex, etc.) helps keep the plug from getting too hard to remove; saves a lot of needless worry in future.

As mentioned, you need a good manual, and the CSP is a good info source.

Great rifles.
