My Department has recently received M1icon Garands that we plan to use for ceremonial rifles. The rifles have tube-type blank firing adapters screwed onto the barrel.

We would like to work the action between rounds fired as part of the ceremony and I would like to remove the blank adapter. I have attached a photo, and it appears to me that the gas cylinder lock has been removed to install the blank adapter. If the gas cylinder lock has been removed I do not have them.

I will be the first to admit I don't know a lot about the Garand and I am new here. Am I going about this problem the right way? Do you have any other suggestions?

I can not alter the rifles so they can not be put back in the condition I received them.

Thanks for any help.

Paul
