Looking forward to seeing how it shoots.
Very nice thanks for posting! I'm very much interested in where I can acquire a scope mount like what you have on this rifle.

All I can suggest for finding a mount is to search everywhere. I have seen them on different sites.
The base I have showed up on the CMP forum last week. A gent had it come in a bunch of M1 parts and asked what it was for. Conclusion was that it was made by Army Warfare Center early on for the M14 to utilize the M1C Griffin and Howe rings and mounts that were in inventory at the time. He put it up for sale. Got my i'll take it in first. The mount was made by another vendor and I picked it up years ago while assembling parts for an M1C. Griffin and Howe still produce their M1C mount although it is now for a 1" scope.

My selective fire WRA M14 is set up nearly identically, the only difference is that my mount and scope are both original. They could be twins!
The last picture shows it in comparison with an IDF M14 sniper, also WRA made.
