Herb's has had them in synthetic and wood for awhile. I was going to get one but am now holding off to see what happens post election.
Not holding my breath though. |

Runnings in Clay has one. Didn't bother to check the price. I'm happy with my 308 Garand and nuetered M1A with ten round mags really doesn't offer much more.

Over the decades I've built Garands in several calibers; I think one of the nicest was in .270 Winchester....talk about zero recoil. 
With the release of "Hacksaw Ridge" I expect Garands to significantly increase in price...I got out of this one at $1,500. http://www.gunbroker.com/Item/597185865

Humm, 6.5x55: now THAT would be a low-recoiling, highly accurate Rifle. 
SARCO Beretta kit? I built a couple of them years back...messed around with a BM59 built on an Armscorp receiver....hey, it worked! One thing to be aware of: The shortened and re-chambered in 7.62 Garand barrels ARE reamed to 7.62x51 NATO and WILL close on a .308 no-go gauge; That DOES NOT make them unsafe or out of spec.

.276 Pederson and the theoretical .256 cartridge Garands always interested me. I've already got an abundance of 6.5x55 in hand though so the idea of an oddball garland in that caliber intrigues me. I went as far as asking Lothar Walther if they'd make a barrel:
M-,
The prices are on the US Website. www.lothar-walther.com The 6.5 x 55 can probably be done. The issue is the taper of the cartridge and how it will effect the magazine. Like most of my hairbrained schemes that's as far as I got. Hmm 7.5 Swiss would be neat too... lol |

No, these are the more recent imports- not compatible with SARCO's Argentine BM59E barrels and other parts. Genuine Italian military Beretta BM59 parts. The bolt that came in my kit was still in arsenal rust-resistant wrapping, zero round count. AIM was nice enough to send the 20-round mags from my kit to my brother in Ohio with the kit he ordered. The parts kits may still be out there and they're in great shape! |

LRB sells a very well made (not cheezy made & finished like the ban era Chinese ones) dummy M14 Flash hider without the slots cut in it & no bayonet lug, mounted with the castle nut pinned/welded and it makes your M1A NY legal!

Magazine well is more an issue with larger diameter rounds: I built one in .35 Whelen: You could only load five or six rounds as they were too wide for the internal rails/guides.....I would think 6.5x55 wouldn't be of any issue at all....maybe that long-ass bullet hanging out the front maybe, but given the OAL of the '06 I doubt it would be a problem. Next odd-ball I do will be a .338-06

Why don't they just put in a fake flash hider. Those look disgusting. Why aren't cosmetics taken into account. Most people don't want that.

FWIW: A Chinese front sight/flash-hider will NOT work on a Springfield.....I picked one up for "compliance" but it didn't work....fuckers!
Years past, I have turned sleeves and pressed them into devices for compliance.
Stupid shit we do to appease some Politicians self-serving, good work.

File off your muzzle threads, ream your castle nut, drill and tap both, peen the grooves on the barrel wack it on, dimple the barrel and screw in a set screw to hold it all on. Been running one like this for years. |

You want to explain to some DEC cop who has just called in the Troopers (like the cop in western NY did) because he saw you shooting at the range with "an assault rifle"? Living under a tyrannical government sucks, I keep a copy of that old letter from BATF (easily found online) that states the acceptable methods of mounting something permanently/eliminating threads on a barrel in my shooting bag, this should hopefully be enough to prevent a trip to the station, but when dealing tyrants you never know? Hopefully, after a couple of SCOTUS appointments this tyrannical crap will go away! From what I know of Trumps Sons, I can't see them not pushing their father to end this crap one way or another! |

I bought an M1A Scout a few years ago and had a gunsmith make the modifications before picking it up.

Sorry, Bubba ain't getting his dick-beaters on my rifles.
The Chinese muzzle device didn't engage the splines, castle nut was wrong thread pitch....I didn't go on like the original, so I didn't bother dicking around with it.
