    M1A bayonet lug?

    I've been wanting to get an M1Aicon to represent the M14 since I'll probably never be able to own one but looking at them tonight, I noticed they don't have a bayonet lug. How difficult is it to convert one of these to military configuration minus the full auto aspect? Is the bayonet lug the extent of it or would other parts be needed? May change my purchasing desire.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

    Try Fulton Armory, if you go online you will see that in their M1Aicon/M14 parts section, they sell non functioning selector switches and I am pretty sure you can get a flash suppressor with bayonet lug.

    Some states do not allow the bayonet lug on M1Aicon, AR-15 and Sovieticon weapons, best to check local laws

    There has been a marked decrease in drive-by-bayoneting incidents in the states that banned bayonet lugs.
