Gentlemen,
Here are three files that show how the T-26 came about. These picked up the name of "Tanker Garands". There is no Official Ordnance for these (2) two models except the Ordnance file which has them marked as the T-26. In the 1950's and 1960's many CIVILIAN gunsmiths made up this model and called them the Tanker Garand. Many were built using welded receivers. I have read on the Garand sites that 1000's of these were built, sorry about that but Ordnance only built TWO. This First Photo is of the M1 Garand which was cutdown in the field and sent back to Ordnance in the states I hope this data helps to get out what the real story is about these types of Rifles.

I could use some input on this question guys because I think it is important.
Some data has been posted before others have not.
Gentlemen you know what to do TIA.
