The idea is basically a fast handling rifle with and forward mounted T-1, the suppressor is just because |

I don't know what would be fast handling about it...super long and heavy. I guess the suppressor will give you extra leverage if you need to use it as a club.

I was going to suggest getting a M1 flash hider and modifying (i.e. welding a QD suppressor mount to it). I did a quick google search and found this thread: http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_6_6/417381_M1_garand_flash_hider_question.html
look at Essayons post about the blank fire adapter. I would do what he suggests and then you could thread mount or thread on a QD mount. |

Gas blowback and operating rod potential issues . I have a suppressed M1A , You will get gas in your face , You can reduce the gas issue with an adjustable gas plug. you can not totally eliminate it

If you're sending it to Shuff's and if he shortens your barrel rather than using his own (I don't know what he does) you could have the gas cylinder cap threads extend all the way to the muzzle rather than ending under the cap thing. You probably want the threads to be longer than the muzzle currently extends past the gas cap because it will have those three slots cut in it. Then you make a can with the same thread (9/16-32 I think).
Oooorrrr... This thing Exists. You could cut the muzzle brake part of it off and then cut a .8125 or .75" thread on the outside, and again make your own can to match it |

You sound like a guy on a mission so have fun with it .
You do realize the tanker Garands were never taken past prototype level by the gov for a reason? I have long suspected the guys with the socoms and other short M1A types were more excited by the image and looks that by any real useable function . You do realize the Garand guys are collecting twigs and sticks to pile around the bottom of the stake as we speak? |

In one of Peter Senich's books, there is a photo, from Korea, of an M-1 in the field (in the hands of an Army sniper, IIRC), equipped with a Maxim-type silencer.
So, it is certainly do-able.

I suppressed an M1 a few years ago. When I realized I could only shoot 120 or so grain bullets at subsonic speeds that made it an 8 shot bolt action I switched to an M1A, and then a AR10. If you have a gunsmith you want to provide a good christmas for and a love of buying operating rods go for it.

SACRILEGE! Especially since its a CMP Garand. Nah That would be letting one of the greatest semi auto rifle actions in the history of small arms design to be relegated to only being a working piece of history. It has it's drawbacks we all know that, so why not design to its strengths. Shorten the barrel and load your 30-06 with heavy 185gn bullets and mount a T-1 out front. Now you have a tough hard hitting compact semi auto rifle that is one of the best pointing rifles ever designed. |

No Garand expert but I know how the operate on a basic level. Experimenting with different powder burn rates and working up the gas pressure on each load using the adjustable plug to get it to cycle doesn't seem impossible.
