On Episode 53 of Bear Arms Podcast they talk about suppressing an M1 Garand. I wrote in to them last week to ask about it after seeing their pictures of it at SHOT show on social media. There's other people that have done this but the details are always light. I assume the silencers not just for decoration and the cans actually work and the guns cycle. This all started out with me ordering a field grade from the CMP and hoping it'd be a junky shot out barrel with new wood and I could just tear it apart and build a .308 from the parts and a new Criterion barrel. I ended up with a much better rifle than expected so now this podcast is just throwing fuel on the fire for me to buy another one and hope it's more worn out and in need of a refresh.
The details on their M1 Garand silencer build start at 14 minutes. They put a QD mount on it, an adjustable gas plug, say it cycles reliably as well.
