Another sticky one that defeats my knowledge. This .22 calibre long rifle does not have any markings or serial numbers except for a "GevarM" marking on the shoulder pad. Even the telescope is without any markings or name. Any suggestions on the make/country of origin?

Looks like a Gevarm E-1, made in France, sold here in 1963 by Stoeger, other US and Canadian importers in the late 60s. Looks like a Euro version, isn't the muzzle threaded for a silencer? Yup, pretty sure that little 3/4" scope is on backwards.
Most Gevarms fire from an open bolt so a full auto conversion would probably not be hard. I trust you have all the required paperwork for that.
Are you SURE the magazine capacity is 60? They listed a 20 round magazine and the one illustrated is not as long as the 30 round mag of an M16 Achisson conversion I have shot.

Just lined up some rounds on my desk, and with 60 they came out looking almost the same length as the magazine... Also, my 10/22 mag is a bit smaller and holds 50, so it would seem to be about right... Methinks.
