I first saw Army M14s during the early GWOT era. Vowed I would own one someday.
Well....today is that day.
"Surplus" everything with the exception of the SAI receiver and the Krieger heavy. All parts are TRW and modified as needed to meet the original build specs for these rifles (welded gas system, trigger job, NM reamed FH etc)
Barreled action done by a Navy friend who is at the top of his game. Stock work, trigger work and fitting done by the man who knows these better than anyone. I was honored to be able to do some of the grunt work with the files and paint along side him. Talk about a learning experience. What 'smiths charge for working on these isn't near enough. You don't realize the work load until you're several days in....and it still isn't done. Amazing stuff.
