Looks pretty typical of a Post Korea Garand. Nice shape. Springfield post war stock. All I see is HRA is the gas cylinder lock screw. Clean it all with mineral spirits and the put some BLO (boiled linseed oil) on the stock. Do it in "lifts" Put a good bit on, let it dry a while and then wipe the excess. You can continue until you get the right tint you want. Make sure you shoot the appropriate ammo in Garands. I replace op rods from folks all the time who shoot commercial loads that are too hot and it bends the op rods.

Thanks for the tips. Since those photos were taken, I did clean it up and lube/oil as it needed. I also put BLO on the stock which cleaned up very nicely.
I load my own and have been following NRA's guide lines as far as recommended loads for the M1. I've also installed one of those after market gas lock screws. Shoots very well.
