Brand new Springfield M1A tanker w/ walnut stock. Just picked up. A buddy and I bought it for a friend as a retirement gift and just found out it's not the model he wants so trying to correct. 0 rounds fired through it. Almost thought about keeping it but want to get him the one he wants.

If he/you wants a JRA "full length" rifle....I'll trade with you.

Aloha, Mark

I might be wrong, but that looks like a SOCOM with a walnut stock? Just a FYI. Unless of course Springfield Armory has changed the name on something. If someone was getting that for me as a present I would accept in a heartbeat, and not complain, but thank instead.

"In a salute to the storied shortened "Tanker" M1 Garands of yesteryear, Illinois-based Springfield Armory this week unveiled their new M1A Tanker rifle.
Featuring a 16.25-inch parkerized barrel and a 37.25-inch overall length, the Tanker is a version of SA's SOCOM 16 rifle series with a retro styling that includes an all-new walnut stock. When compared to the standard M1A, the Tanker is almost a foot shorter."

Well that explains why it looks like a SOCOM. I stand corrected. Learn something new every day. Thanks for the heads up.

It's a beauty either way. GLWS.

Buddy's party is tomorrow so he will have to just deal with the $1500 rifle we got him....

Good
It's a helluva present .
I for one would be delighted.

You guys are pretty darn nice in my book. I don't know why anybody would not be happy!

Hi lefevebe, If a person in Idaho wanted to buy your tanker would you mail it a FFL dealer in Boise and if so what would the shipping cost be? Thanks for info, Ravik

Sorry. I gave it to a friend as a retirement gift. I tried to close the thread but I am obviously not smart enough to figure it out. Good luck finding one!
