T20 experiments?

Yes T20E2 The grenade launcher for the T20E2, and its interface with the rifle’s substantial muzzle brake. Note that the launcher blocks the brake’s ports, rendering it ineffective.

I saw this video relating to mag fed Garands awhile back:
Winchester Experimental Mag-Fed Garands - YouTube
I love the Cody Museum guy's tendency to carefully delineate between his speculation and established fact. Good job!

I think he's RIA's guy, isn't he?
Forgotten Weapons is a popular website and YouTube channel that covers the history of antique, obscure and historically important firearms. Presenter Ian McCollum, who encountered some difficulty with YouTube deleting his videos, also airs on Full 30. McCollum improved the quality of his videos by means of an IndieGogo campaign, the proceeds of which were used to purchase high-quality camera equipment. Forgotten Weapons frequently features unusual, rare, odd, experimental, or one-off firearms, such as paratroop versions of the Empire of Japan's Arisaka Type 99 rifle featuring a folding stock attached to a cabinet hinge. McCollum covers the history of such firearms in detail, and often explains how important certain firearms were to the history of warfare. He also disassembles the firearms to show how they operate, and demonstrates firing when possible.Quote:

McCollum is also co-host of InRangeTV another popular YouTube channel where he competes in two gun shooting matches and talks about history with Karl Kasarda, a veteran of shooting sports.
I have been watching Forgotten Weapons for almost as long as I have been collecting (started watching his channel when he first made the Farquhar-Hill rifle video). A excellent channel which combines a good amount of knowledge with a variety of different firearms and topics (for example just watched a video on a German WWII armourers kit) well staying non-political (reminds me of a certain milsurp website I am also a member on). If you haven't watched his channel, I highly recommend it, it has a little bit of everything, and a lot of stuff I wouldn't know anything about otherwise.
I like Forgotten Weapons, I have been watching Ian and Karl a number of years now as well as C&Rsenal.
