Increasing the volumetric capacity of your system(GarandGear), or bleeding the excess off(McCann or Shuster), will allow you to eliminate or significantly reduce any problems you may have. Keep the reciprocating speed near design parameters and your parts will last.
Thanks. And Barry, double lugs make a lot of sense. I believe the stock in the OP's vid was laminate. A 35 Whelen Garand with a Medesha scout scope mount would be too cool.

Tim LeGendre of LeMag in Fenton MI was making these back in the '90's. He was fired up about the prospect of South Korea cutting loose all of those Garands and Carbine. Clinton made sure they never came here. Tim went on to the AR platform and designed the .45 Professional which is the .450 Bushmaster.

No practical use for this except to be able to tell your bubbas you've got one. 'Seems about as useful as a solar powered ash tray.

Rattler, sadly the professional hunter that Boddington was with was gored very badly after that hunt with Craig. I believe he is alive and recovering back here stateside.

Rifle Magazine had an article years ago by a S. African game warden who had stopped several Cape Buff's. About half with a 375 and the other half with an FAL. Don't recall the ammo.

Just like we need guys to go to strip clubs so the "soiled doves" can work their way through college, we need guys to commission rifles like this to keep gunsmiths from becoming windmill mechanics.

A 35 Whelen Garand with a Medesha scout scope mount would be too cool. I have seen one of these, though w/o the scope, and you are right, it is cool. Another poster mentioned the practicality of a laminated stock. There are some nice ones available and it would certainly be beneficial in something like this. It would hold up better and would increase the Garand's already considerable weight.

No but you stated that there was NO practical use for it. I asked whybthete had to be a practical use. And if someone wanted on just to have one. Wasnt that practical enough
By the phrasing of your statement you leave interpretation of your statement to be the end all be all as if your opinion should carry weight

A 35 Whelen Garand with a laminate stock would do nicely for Christmas. Double down with a 338 Fed in M1A and I'd be a happy man.

Not that I'm interested in one, but if I were going to own one it would be in either a laminated or a carbon fiber thumbhole stock with a magna ported barrel to handle the recoil and yes it would be like comparing apples to oranges but the thumbhole walnut stock and magna porting sure did go a long way in taming the felt recoil on my 300 Weatherby.

McCann Industries in Wa who makes this also makes a wicked carbon fiber stock for the Garland.

While the m1 Garand was to be basically a .270, all that ammo is what influenced the decision for 30.06. Pedersen measured it at the lands, it's a 7x51 more like a lightly loaded 7mm-08. Too bad Garand didn't chamber it in 6.5 Sweed, THAT would have made a great combo and might have been worth issuing as is. Edit: Hey I just learned something. Went reading about the Pedersen rifle and he also had a 6.5mm version. The mil tested both his cartridges against the 30-06 and the 6.5 was the most lethal of the three, on pigs anyway. Bet it had less recoil and the best trajectory too. But the mil preferred the 7mm version, then dropped that one too.

I'd also like to know how they got a .458" hole in an M1 barrel.
Even in .30", those things are thin at the muzzle!
