A Square 10,
With a little work you can add a magazine assy. to your rifle. I did it on my 03 conversion.
The receiver has not been modified, so it could be put back to original at any time. Below are the parts that were removed and replaced with modified ones.
It may seem odd to have done this but the...
The conversion is my design, the magazine is for a AR15 from Ciener mounted inside the M1A mag.
Below is a recent project. An M1A converted to 22 Rimfire.
I just finished my project, I had to fill in the stock in a few places to fit the M1 receiver. This weekend I tried some CCI Blazer in it and it functioned just fine, my normal ammo had been CCI Mini...
The bolt hold open catch comes from a BM59. You can see in the side view.
I had to cut a hole thru the receiver.

This is my latest project, a Model 1870-87-15 converted to 22 rimfire. I used an old Win 52 take off barrel cut down to match the original barrel with the front and rear sections of the Vetterli...
Porterkids,
I think the one I have was cut down from 16", it has the same markings on the blade as the 16" ones. It would be nice to see some pictures of yours. The scabbard was made from parts in...

My old favorite Garand was lonely so I just had to make him a new friend. Just to let you know, no collector Garand was harmed in the construction of this project. I started with a reweld Tanker and...
