We all know that the M14 and the M1 Garand are very similar... Yet one is prohibited and the other is not... I seem to recall some people converted their Garands with the M14 barrels and gas systems... and I wanted to try the other side of it.

This was built up out of an Italian receiver + USGI parts kit + a new 308 Criterion barrel and takes M14 magazines. I have not tested yet but I expect that the 10rd AIA magazines should also work.

Don't know if I'd want to convert the front end to have a full NR M14 clone on a M1 receiver but even this amuses me enough...
This has no collector value as it's a piecemeal put together gun... so I think it would also be interesting to scope it. Any suggestions on what mount to use? Doesn't need to be anything Garand specific any more as there's no need to leave clearance for the clip to be ejected :)
