And there's always the Italian BM-59

A bunch were converted commercially too. Late 60's/early 70's, as I recall. Used an M-14 mag.
JC's first rifle in 1920, used a 20 round BAR mag. Army said, "No. Too likely for the troopies to waste ammo." Same thing was said by the Brits to explain the purpose of the mag cut off in the No. 1 Lee-Enfield.

Don McCoy built a 7.62 Mag fed M1 for me just before he died. A rifle that I will keep until I go.

Yes, the bm59's are cool but the thing that I like about the Winchesters is that they are in .30-06. Is the select fire mod shown the same mechanism used on m14's?
