    The m14's as parts kits isn't a bad idea, I would be interested in one as well as a Nagant revolver if the prices were right.

    Ah... thanks for that. So it wasn't just about the 'selector switch' on the side of the rifle. Gotcha.

    It is a selector switch that rotates from full to semi . Most M14's had a cap installed instead of the switch .
    No key required . You simply punched out the roll pin , removed the cap , installed the selector switch reinserted the roll pin in the selector switch & you had a select fire M14 .
    The M14's that were imported into Canada before being reclassified prohibited converted autos had the cap welded on .
    also the eccentric pin that rotated with the switch was welded in place & the auto sear was ground off .
    The original standard M14 was not controllable on full auto . After the first couple rounds fired the gun was basically an anti-aircraft gun. That's why they came out with the E2 stock , muzzle break , & bipod
    Pre-orders are horrible for everyone involved. They never go smooth. We will not be doing a pre-order to bankroll this project.
