I think the m1 carbine is banned if it has the folding stock. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
You can have an M14 if it's not a semi auto rifle. That means you can buy a pre-86 registered full auto. You can also buy an M14 stripped receiver to build into a pistol or registered SBR.
The Polytech is a special case, because the threads on it are different and a lawyer submitted fairly compelling evidence of such.
IOW, you can make your case, but be damned sure it's complete and good before submitting to the MSP.
The M1 carbine is not banned unless it meets the copycat criteria (which is not the same as being a copy of something).
Now what about converting the GI bolt to a Polytech? Is that doable?

A GI bolt won't fit a Polytech without doing a little machining to it, after which you may have created a situation where you'll have parts interchangeability with the M1A.
If you modify the M14 bolt (and leave the Polytech receiver intact), wouldn't it then be no more interchangeable with an M1A than a Polytech bolt?
M14 polytech is OK! what about other rifles that are M14 made by others not springfield?
How about the M1 30 carbine made by Kahr?
Thanks, I know this has been gone over but I don't really see an answer.
The interchangeability of the bolt is all it takes to have manufactured a banned rifle.
But, seems to me if after you made one work in a Polytech, if it then would NOT work in an M1A, it should be fine.

You'll have to excuse me if I'm not in any big hurry to test that theory.
