    Feeling this procedure out. Of course in a perfect world id just buy an M1A but they are far too dangerous of a semi auto 308 than AR10s are, so im left with a mini 14. From what ive looked up so far, it semms the standard route is the choate handguard, tech sights, an accustrut, and the fladh hider. Apparently though, the long m14 style flash hider/front sight combo only fits the older, penxil barrel profile? Is that true? Has anyone in these here forums done a mini 1A so to speak? Ive seen some sweet looking ones onlune, ironically in a lot of areas wbere you can buy M1A. I guess of course the other side of that is you could make two mini lookalikes for what one avtual.one costs, but i digress.

    google is your friend, I am not.
    sounds complicated. my 0.02: a) look up Shuffs parkerizing, home of the mag fed garand; b) get a M1A 6.5 Creedmoor. 100% legal, and probably more accurate. More expensive to shoot, right now, but you are worth it ;) ; c) **** it, get a Smith and Wesson M&P10.

    A true look alike mini would be kind of neat. But to continue on Dan's substitute suggestions...
    FN49. Not exactly the same look but I've been asked at the range if it's a M1A.
    MAS49/56 is another similar one.

    Though there is (was?) a Sage stock for the mini. Looks exactly like it's bigger brother if you desire more modern clothing.
