I know it's weird.

But, it would be cool.

Won't work op rod is needed but you can drill out the gas plug.

Did any countries ever issue a Mannlicher in 7.92x57? If so, that would be well on the way to what you want.

Oh yeah ... DUH ... says the guy that owns a Garand, haha! Thanks for correcting my mistake ...

But I did once remove the piston in the upper handguard from an SKS, that can be safely removed to allow the rifle to function as a straight pull bolt action.

If the gas plug has a poppet, you can remove it to vent all the gas and use the Garand as a manual repeater.
