C'est le fameux Garand Tanker.
Au cours des annees 1950, epoque ou il y avait une plethore de Garands de surplus ainsi que de pieces detachees, certains entrepreneurs, pour stimuler le marche deciderent de creer en Garand racourci qu'ils surnommerent "Tanker", (utilise par les equipages des tanks)
Voila un article sur le sujet
What's a "Tanker" Garand?
By Walter J. Kuleck, Ph.D.

The "Tanker Garand" is a "misnomer." During WWII two separate prototypes were developed for paratroop use. The first was the M1E5. The M1E5 had a short barrel and a folding metal stock. It was developed and tested in the Summer of 1944, but then abandoned because of the loud report and large muzzle flash from the short barrel.

In the fall of 1944 the Pacific Warfare Board ordered a test quantity of 150 M1 Rifles to be shortened and tested for jungle and paratroop use. These conversions were rather crudely done in the Pacific Theatre of Operations, either in Australia or the Phillippines. A request was made that Springfield Armory manufacture these shortened M1s, and two were sent by air to the USA for testing.

When the Springfield Armory staff saw the improvised short Garands, they recognized that they were the same as the M1E5 but with a normal wood stock. Thereupon they assembled their own version, designated T26. After testing the same conclusions were drawn as before; the barrel was just too short to be practical. Thus only one T26 was ever made in the USA.

Of the two test rifles sent from the Pacific, one is in the Springfield Armory Museum, and one is reportedly at the West Point Museum. The lone T26 was reported destroyed in testing at the Aberdeen Proving Grounds in Maryland.

In the 1950's several entrepreneurs, including Robert E. Penney, Jr., acquired a great deal of Garand scrap including cut-in-half receivers and parts sets. They built perhaps ten or twenty thousand rifles by welding receiver halves together. (See the Fulton Armory FAQ entry on the subject of welded receivers by clicking here). This was crude, but it was the only way at that time to get a Garand outside of the Directorate of Civilian Marksmanship (DCM, now the Civilian Marksmanship Program, CMP). Robert Penney noted the short Garand at the Springfield Armory museum during a visit there and decided to meld his interest in tanks with his business interests, Alpine and National Ordnance, prime "remanufacturers" of Garands from Garand scrap. Penney decided that a short T26-type Garand would fit nicely in a tank turret, and coined the term "Tanker Garand." However, the short Garands that were tested by the Army during WWII were not intended for use by tank crews! Nevertheless, Penney's name for the T26-type rifle stubbornly stuck; few gun people recognize "T26" but nearly everyone has heard of the "Tanker Garand."

Even now when M1s have been much more available, the popularity of a short Garand remains strong. Thus many have been made on good, original receivers. I have such a T26 replica (as I prefer to call it):
Donc, aucune lessive n'a etee utilisee pour torturer cette arme.

Pour avoir testé cette exemplaire avec des muns d'origine, je dirais pas beaucoup plus qu'un normal
Par contre entre deux tir il faut un certain temps pour se re-habituer à la lumiere du jour , pas discret le flash.
Cdt

Un camarade de mon club en a eu un il y a qques années. Il était en 308, made in Italy à l'origine. De mémoire ça ne poussait pas tant que ça (moins qu'un bébert ou qu'n MN M44) mais c'est vrai que le flash était intéressant, surtout pendant l'hiver nordiste (du 1er janvier au 31 décembre avec une pause le 1er août pour que le printemps et l'été aient au moins une journée à eux!).

En bref, je l'ai trouvé amusant mais je préfère l'original.
