US M14 Parts Kits

Just by the nature of your statement, "a BM59 clone", you ought to have known it would be prohib.
You guys DO realize that the BM59 was a full auto rifle right from the get-go, right?

Of course, if you try any mod "that will basically turn it into a BM59 clone" you are for sure going to be making a prohib item.
You had to contact the lab to find that out ??

You have been mentioning modifying an M1 Garand receiver to convert it to a BM59 (which infers full auto). What were you thinking?
Did you honestly think their answer would be any different? ;-D
Maybe you were asking the wrong questions to whoever you spoke to at the lab. Certainly, referring to a BM59 as your end goal is your main big mistake, needless to say.

FYI, There WERE semi-auto only Beretta models made that were/are perfectly legal. Do a bit of research to look them up before you go asking the lab again. Remember that the prohib order is targeting the full-auto aspect of the BM59. Stay away from that and there ought to be no problem.

If you're simply taking about adding miscellaneous stocks, barrels or anything else from a semi-auto only M14 / M1A or M305, there's nothing wrong with that.
There is also nothing on the books against any kind of buttstock, as long as you keep the barrel and OAL within the unrestricted limits. Buttstocks in and of themselves are not controlled items.
Also, having the ability to use an M14 box magazine, in semi-auto only mode, is also not prohib. It may ruin the Garand's capacity exemption for its 8-shot stripper clips, but it is not prohib.
And, if you stay within the unrestricted barrel and OAL length, you can put any buttstock on a Garand or an M305 that you want.
I was advised quite a while ago by a senior person at the lab myself, but I did my homework and asked the right questions. and avoided the wrong references. Our conversation surprisingly included some tips I got for working on the Garand, and ended on good terms, with best wishes from the person on my project. ;-)

Cheers.

Woah there dude, please note that when I used the word " Clone " I use this term loosely when describing any M305's or M1A's saying that they are basically civilian versions of the M14 or simply a "clone" . At no point in any time did I say anything about converting it full auto. Yes sure real BM59's are select fire prohibs, just as real M14's or M16's. I am not telling him to make himself a real BM59. I said that it is possible to use a garand receiver but that involves quite a bit of work and never did i mention that he would be making into a full auto. I also stated he would be best off just using a donor m305 or m1a.

the "heel" of the m14 receiver IS the SERIAL NUMBERED part, and that's what defines it as the prohibited part-

And that is a shame really, after all if the heel is cut off the rest of the receiver then it is basically scrap metal. But that's how the laws see it here.

We have a line on a large quantity of US manufactured M14 rifles . These are obviously prohibited so we would have to sell these in Canada as parts kits, that would be a complete rifle with a chopped receiver. I would like an idea as to the level of interest and what a fair value would be. I have to assume that they were manufactured by an assortment of US manufactures and that the quality will vary due to use.

Yes Indeed I am interested!
 
one thing that strikes me is the CONDITION of the bore- I've seen more than 1 m14 with shot- out bore- esp ifi t was used lmg style- it puts a different perspective on it if you have to put a new barrel on it
 
Sarco inc is converting m1 garand receivers to accept bm59 parts. Beretta made the BM60, a
factory semi automatic BM59. There are some registered here in Canada
