I've come to the conclusion that Art is definitely going to self destruct before he wears out any of his collection.

You may find the clip guide hole won't line up on a rifle it wasn't set up with. I had one that was a little off, but it lined up perfectly on another rifle. Seems there is a lot of variation in...
In 1979 I was President of the Nevada State Rifle & Pistol Association which was not affiliated with the DCM when I took office. I contacted Col. Smith, Director of the CMP, and got the NSRPA...
More power to him. I guess the Marine's are more forgiving than the NRA. I don't think NRA or CMP rules would allow elbows to touch the ground. The sitting position is supposed to be supported only...
To error is Human, to forgive is habit forming...
Minelli Stock.
Take a look on grizzly.com. They have surface plates and stands for a very reasonable price.
These stocks were a hold over from the T44E4 prototype for the M14. They were in use until about mid 1960 when the new flip up shoulder rest butt plate was brought into production. The early aluminum...
Actually the gage does check straightness. While the op rod has bends up and down it is straight side to side and the gage verifies it. It's one of the gages I have in my working collection.
I checked this out just for grins and found the fixtures are not interchangeable. There is enough difference in dimensions of the receivers that the M1 receiver won't fit in the M14 fixture and the...
I was contacted by peteski and I don't have a manual for the barreling machine. However, I hope I was able to give him enough information to get him on his way. I've never seen a manual for the...
The M14E2 sling was made from a BAR sling with an added swivel hook. Just remove the extra hook.
What are all those dark stains under the car?
Oh well... My '66 El Camino only cost $3100 with a 327 and 4 speed...
Shooters on the National Guard Team use the sling with the frogs toward the stock. It's easier to keep the sling tight that way and easier to take it off when firing is completed.
Yes, GI flash suppressors will fit on the M1A.

Back in the 60's it was popular to modify Garands into "Sporter" rifles and it usually included a similar modification to the trigger guard.
That's cool, but it needs something on the end of the barrel...
It's really a case of "what ever floats your boat". The 6.5 Creedmoor is a great cartridge and super accurate in the right rifles. Mine is a Rugar PC. It wouldn't have any great advantage in the M14...
For sale: excellent condition Leatherwood ART II sniper scope. This is the late scope adopted in 1981 for the Army's M21 (M14) sniper rifle. It includes the clip guide replacement for the rear mount...
The 6.5 is a great cartridge... just not service rifle legal for matches.
I couldn't afford a brass tool as nice as this so I opted for a piece of galvanized 1" steel pipe with a cap on the end. It works perfectly too. I also use a piece of 1 1/4" pipe to install the op...
60's production magazines usually sell for around $55 to $65 in VG to new condition. You may find some for less since CMI is the current government contractor and they can be found for $25 to $35....
Like I always say... just get a bigger hammer and screw driver!
