The new T-47 lightweight automatic rifle resembles the older model but uses a larger ammunition clip and has a small cylindrical recoil reducer on the muzzle.

In addition to the muzzle brake and the wood handguard, take a look at how much of the bottom of the receiver near the trigger housing group is exposed. I never had a good look at the T47 like this before.
Looks like a version of Earl Harvey's T25 rifle.
As I started looking at the photo, I kept saying to my self,"That's a different looking Garand, until I could see the whole photo. Then I just thought, "WOW"
