Hello, I would like to ask someone with more knowledge about rifles if it is possible to purchase or modify an M1A to look like an M14 EBR. Essentially it's an M14 with an extending stock and picatinny rails and I believe a polymer or some kind of plastic body (unsure what the proper term is).
While I like traditional walnut stocks of the M1A I find them to be a little on the heavy side for me, and while Springfield armory does have options use the lighter plastic stocks, being able to adjust the length of the stock would be more desirable and comfortable, at least for me.
This is more for research than anything, since at present time the M1A is a pretty expensive piece, I am hoping to eventually put an Aimpoint optic or something similar on it and perhaps a bipod if possible (can civilians by bipod for the M1A?). This rifle is primarily going to be used for fun at a local range.
I thank anyone who took the time to read this. I am still very new to the world of guns and have much to learn on the intricacies of building and modifying them.
