Yeah, I know there's historically no such animal. Talking the 18" one, likely in .308 as opposed to 30.06.

Shuff's does conversions, but I'd rather not mar my original M1.

Fulton Armory makes them, but holy shiite Batman they're pricey! Like $2700+ pricey. Should come with a set of lips for that much money! With all the reported issues "Tanker" Garands have I would think that a reputable company like Fulton would have their shit together and build one that works reliably (and stand behind it if there are hiccups).

Drawback to Fulton is obviously the $$$ ($2800+ for the .308 one that caught my eye with laminated brown stock and T-37 flash hider). Then there's the wait time, which IIRC is now running 4-5 months.

Anyone happen to own a "Tanker" Garand?
