Looks cool! Who did the conversion? What kind of 22 magazine is hiding in there?

[TRS4923]

The conversion is my design, the magazine is for a AR15 from Ciener mounted inside the M1A mag.

I wish that was mine.

Can you show us how to do it?

[Dave Waits]

Hmmmm. Odd! Usually I reach for a 7.62x51 when a 30-06 is too much...

It's a nice rifle and I'm sure it's a lot cheaper to shoot but it sure seems like a waste of a good warrior.

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 fun factor is very high.

i like it , its the first ive seen , but i know there were kits for the FAL / L1A1 rifles ,

i have a ceinar in my M16 and a dedicated 22cal upper for my AR15 , so im set for the repeaters , but i did convert an M1903A3-4gery to a single shor 22cal .......

A Square 10,
With a little work you can add a magazine assy. to your rifle. I did it on my 03 conversion.
