So I have the rifle, got ammo and clips. What other "must have" accessories for the M1 should I be looking at?

Please if the Garand was Auto it would be not far behind , what maybe 200 rounds a minute less, thats only cause of the extra distance the bolt needs to travel to get a real mans cartridge cycled!An AR15 so you don’t have to shoot an obsolete weapon that is too heavy and with a slow rate of fire.

Bring your AR to Old Colony on a day they have the Modern Military match. I'll bring my M1 and M1A and let's compare scores. I'll pay your entry fee.An AR15 so you don’t have to shoot an obsolete weapon that is too heavy and with a slow rate of fire.

Good point, I should have been more specific. I meant more cleaning and maintenance stuff. It came with a sling and I won't be doing matches or anything like that.depends what you want to do with it.. CMP matches, historic collectible? decide, then ask again.
Have a bunch in multiple flavors, an enough parts to make a few more.An AR15 so you don’t have to shoot an obsolete weapon that is too heavy and with a slow rate of fire.
Get a 'SLED' (single load device) from Aggressive Engineering. +1 for the slings mac1911 mentioned. Also a gas plug wrench is nice as well as a gas cylinder wrench. You can do without these tools and just use a huge ass flat blade screwdriver, but the proper tools are better. Also I recommend Mobil 1 synthetic grease to lube your M1. It holds up in the heat of summer and works down to minus 7- I've tried it!.
