This custom Tanker M1 Scout rifle, built by Ian McCollum, demonstrates a practical application of the scout rifle concept on an M1 Garand platform. Key features include an 18-inch barrel chambered in 7.62 NATO, a forward-mounted Burris pistol scope, and a DIY weapon light. Despite being front-heavy, the rifle proves accurate and reliable, with emphasis on the importance of proper build quality for shortened M1s.
