[QUOTE="ldp4570, post: 756953, member: 5168"] Originally known as the XM-T26, the M1Garand was shortened to be utilized by tank crews during WWII. Never went into production. Several companies during the late 70's and 80's made up/cobbled together shortened M1Garands calling them tanker versions in .30-06 and .308. Most if not all have been clunkers. The US Military never produced or issued a short version of the M1 Garand. After WWII the US Navy were the first to modify their stocks of Garands to fire the .308 cartridge with the chamber device.
