M14 update

Published by Mugwug at 15:57:30 under Firearms

So the rifle has been moved to the recently refinished USGI stock, which will give me the chance to do the whole thing over again with the old stock. I am quite pleased with the results, as the OD color scheme is a nice change from generic black.

Of course I am still waiting for a few items to finish the upgrade, including the new spring guide, and some shims. The op-rod guide needs to be tightened, and I hope to take a crack at all this over the next week or so.

    They are slick…. with the extra cash I earned over X-mas I was sorely tempted to buy another one from Marstar. Common sense seems to have prevailed, but it’s damn tempting.

    Good scope…hell, I still need a good scope. I have a nasty feeling the $100 tasco I bought is gonna melt down with the .308, but it will do for now. Gonna have to save my pennies before buying that fixed 10x scope I have my eye on.
