Good morning folks,
First off, I know that no "tankers" were issued, and are to be suspect.
However, I have one being offered as a trade for a pistol I'm selling and am intrigued.

I have always been interested in having an M1icon as a shooter, but stick to mainly 223 and 308 so I haven't pursued the M1's much.

The rifle I've been offered is a 308 Tanker that was bought by the current owner from the Armory of Orange a while back. From the little I've found they were pretty reputable as far as the conversion folks go. The rifle has an IHC receiver, and I don't know much more about it. I understand many of these receivers were weld jobs. This doesn't scare me off too badly, as long as it runs properly and there's no evidence of cracking. I will be bringing a straightedge along...

What little research I've done hasn't dissuaded me from the offer, as I'm not looking for a collecter.

The qustions I have are:
-Does anyone have the IHC draw numbers handy (I'll be much more inclined to trade if the draw numbers are correct, of course)
-Is there any way to tell visually if the 308 is actually chambered or if its a conversion sleeve?
-Any input on Armory of Orange builds?

Thanks in advance for your help, from what I've seen so far it looks like there's a lot of knowledge here. I look forward to learning and maybe even sharing if I happen across something I actuall know about (as opposed to passing along 'net hearsay).
