SPRINGFIELD M1A™ TANKER .308 RIFLE FOR SALE
Shop SPRINGFIELD M1A™ TANKER .308 RIFLE and buy guns for sale online from our gun store. The M1A™ Tanker combines paradigm-shifting defensive features like a tritium-powered front night sight and ghost ring rear aperture with the inimitable timeless appeal of quality stained walnut. The 16.25″ carbon steel barrel features a 1:11″ right hand twist and six-groove precision rifling, and the whole package comes in at less than 9 lbs. With the compact yet powerful M1A™ Tanker you’ll always have enough gun. There’s just something viscerally appealing about stained walnut and Parkerized steel. The M1A Tanker draws its inspiration and its name from the elusive “Tanker” M1 Garand. After a little homework, it turns out the Tanker Garand was never actually a real thing — at least not for tankers.
The Springfield Armory M1A Tanker represents the synergistic combination of a compact, full-power rifle with a timelessly attractive aesthetic. Pushing a full-sized 7.62x51mm/.308 Win. round in a chassis that lends itself to maneuverability and easy portage, the M1A Tanker also captures some of that classic inimitable Parkerized steel and stained walnut of a bygone era. he M1A Tanker brings along unrivaled real-world practicality. This compact rifle would reliably put venison on the table for both sport and survival. It is easy to tote and sufficiently powerful as to give a polar bear pause. Whether it is strapped to the handlebars of your ATV or slung across your shoulder while you’re trekking in the wilderness, the M1A Tanker is the sort of insurance that really is always there for you, come what may.
Shooting is fun and shooting such a rarefied rifle all the more so. Putting a couple of boxes of .308 brass on the ground on a pretty Saturday afternoon at the range will reliably dissolve the stresses of the previous week. Save that brass and you can acquaint yourself with the many-splendored joys of handloading. The stubby barrel does produce some prodigious muzzle blast, but the rifle doesn’t beat you to death despite its full-power chambering.
Lastly, if the unthinkable happened and you had to grab a gun for real, the M1A Tanker checks all the boxes. This stubby rifle is short enough to serve as a truck gun yet sufficiently comfortable and accurate to reliably reach out at any reasonable defensive engagement distance. Additionally, nobody who brought a semi-automatic magazine-fed .308 rifle to a fight has even once been accused of packing too little gun.
