There used to be a company that advertised in the SGN, converting M1s to take M14 mags, but it's been awhile since I've seen the ad.

The BAR is the only option. Why? Because it's the only gun that has any existing hi-cap mags in .30-06, and you can't build new hi-caps for civilian use.
And, no, you can't modify an M1A to fit the much longer .30-06 round, and even if you did, you'd have to further modify it to use BAR mags. -Troy |

Oh well, was just a thought I had. Damn BARs' are a little out of my price range and I hear the weigh quite a bit. I heard they make a semi auto version of the BAR anyone know the going rate for one? That and where I could find mags for it? Thanks

The last I heard, they're in the $2500 range for a closed-bolt BAR. That was when they first came out, but I haven' priced them since. No idea where you can find mags.

The FN-49, predecessor of the FAL, was chambered in 30-06 with a detachable 10 rounder. They run around $600 when you can find them. I have built a few custom Mausers in 30-06 with fixed BAR mags though, but it's a bolt action.
