A government program that is largely a duplicate of another government problem..Weird.

30-06 will "blow through" many things aside from jungle brush. Ask my late Uncle Huey, USMC.

Wonder what happened to the second field modified rifle sent to Washington? You've mentioned 2 of the 3. Does the RIA museum have one?
Thomas Batha
You're right of course but then it would have gained back probably 2 of the 6 inches it was shortened by. Would all this be worth a net decrease of only 4 inches?

“It’s in .308, not 30-06”. Degenerate.

your "repro" scout tanker ... be very sure I am very jealous about that rifle! yes, that is a wicked cool one.

That stock could tell some stories. Note the bullet tip stippling--on the LEFT side.

You do get to visit a lot of neat sites, It's a good thing, otherwise we would not see these things.

I cannot tell you how may disagreements(?) I've had with guys at gun shows back in the day swearing that the "Tanker" M1 they were trying to sell was a legit late WWII issue weapon. Very frustrating. But, as you say, they are really cool!

A muzzle device could have mitigated the concussion issue.
