I am considering it.............the only thing holding me back was it was built by an armorer who's guns won at Camp Perry in 84 and 85............but it would be cool to have a shorty sniper

I would send it to Shuff's for a detachable mag conversion... THEN do the Mini-D conversion... Kinda like having your cake and eating it too!

Well, it's in .30-06, and I already have a CMP special .308 on an IHC receiver..........otherwise I might consider it. A M1D built by the CMP is about 2,500 bucks, so the conversion would be alot less

I may very well do it.............the gun was built by Charles Mahoney, who also worked for Fulton Armory, so that is a plus

That would be pretty sweet, put an LPVO in an M1D mount

I'm going to go all original type parts with it............its a custom rifle built about 30 years ago, and I dont think it's really worth more than many other M1 Garands, so I thought a mini that looked like an original would be pretty cool
