M1 Tanker Garand Myth
I was just reading this earlier and thought I post it to see if this Story adds up to the Tanker Gun or was there such a Myth about the Garand ?
What is a M1 Tanker Garand Rifle?

The only real T26 you'll likely see is in SANHS Museum. The rifles that were done for trials were returned to full length status and returned to duty. However, if you do a conversion by Shufflin or whomever, they are neat. They also have a flash and blast like and anti tank gun.

Hi Frank ...
You also might want to try our Google 'Search Milsurps.Com' custom search engine located in the top right corner of our site. It only searches our site only using Google techniques and can be quite efficient. For example, in your case, type in the words tanker garand to read a bunch of older threads on that subject as well.
Regards,
Doug

I have a tanker built on a WW2 Springfield reciever in 30-06 . It does handle like a heavy carbine . It has a Smith muzzle brake on it , so it only kicks a little more than a carbine . Does clear the firing line a bit , though . No notice of excessive fouling and its functioned every time .

The blast came right around the back of the cab and about deafened me...missed the shot too...that one hurt.

Dang Jim, Wouldn't you have to reach out at least a foot with that Pocket Pistol or were you too close to make any sudden movement not scare then away. I've taken a shot from inside the cab, a lot of us do around here and one day I reach over with my Marlin 30-30 and that shot rang my bell and you did it with that small piece of iron, WOW

I had to turn with the revolver around my left rear. Sitting in the seat and aiming to the left rear. Forgot about the forcing cone blast.
