It was introduced in the mid-50’s so a M-14 would be about as old as you’re gonna find chambered in 7.62x51

Ishpore 2A1, basically a british .303 chambered in .308/ 7.62X51. 10-12 round box mag. Very nice rifles for their intended purpose.

Battle rifles (semi or select fire):

L1a1

almost all of the cetme variants

g3/hk91 variants and clones like the ag3, ak4, ptr91, etc.

T48

madsen lar

M14

Beretta BM59/BM62 and BM69 (very rare to see these)

Surplus bolt guns:

most of the M1916 mausers made in Spain

FN1935

Israeli k98

Ishapore 2A/2A1

Spanish FR8

Chilean 1912-61 Mauser

Any of the k98 mausers or the enfields can be converted with a barrel but may or may not be cost effective.

If I had to pick one of each it would be L1A1 and FR8.

The French MAS-49 was imported by Century Arms and converted to .308. The one I fooled with had a mile long 2 stage trigger that broke around 10 pounds!

There are two types of gun enthusiasts ... Those who have been F#CKED by PTG and those who will be!

Those French MAS variants are about the best you can hope for. Excellent craftsmanship and I don’t think ANY of the were ever fired. Just dropped once.
