We're batting around the idea of making new m14 recievers with an integral scope rail similar to the LRB but with the Picatinny (M1913) Rail integral to the reciever. Details would be worked out if there is enough interest for us to invest the time and energy into this. Let us know what you think.
Would you buy a newly manufactured m14 reciever with integral scope mount?

Like an M25 receiver but a rail instead of separate front and back mounts?
I'd be interested but from what I understand the M14 receiver is no joke to machine...sounds expensive to me!

Yea, this would probably be more then what Marstar was selling the M305 for. Target market would be users looking to build their own custom rifle.
Yes I would assume so! In fact I would be pretty surprised if this made it to market for less than a thousand dollars.
Anyway if it's good, then it will sell. I would definitely consider one for a long range build.
why not remove the irons from the equation all together ? more rail space on the top of the reciever .
if its going to be for custom builds, generally scoped.. and if not scoped then red-dot'd .. not many are going to use irons?

If it were a canadian made standard M1A receiver (ie: with the rear irons the way they were originally designed) I would be all over it and likely buy several. If it is an "improved" version lacking irons with an integral rail over the receiver, count me out.
My personal opinion is that the time and effort would be better expended on parts that are sorely drying up these days...things like bolts (and especially bolt guts!), op rods, gas cylinders, & trigger groups.

We are looking to address the market of shooters who want to build a rifles from the ground up. The integral scope mount will be lighter, as solid as you can get and all round simpler. Bolts and other internals are on the list of things to build as well. The truth is that there is almost as much machine work in a complete bolt as there is in a receiver.
Imperial or metric?
If I could build an M14 from scratch using only Canadian made parts, I'd be wetting my pants. Norinco should GFTs
And those will be imperial receivers where the regular GI parts will fit, right?

I'd definately be interested in a quality reciever with an integral scope mount.
By quality I'd like to see it forged from a good ordinance steel like 4150 and
it would have to stay under the $1000.00 mark and it would have to accept true milsurp parts.
otherwise a norc reciever and a good mount is a good enough base for my tastes.

Firstly "Ordinance Steel" just like "Aircraft Aluminum" or "Billet Aluminum" does not exist those are marketing terms that idiots keep spewing.
Secondly if they are going to make a product why change from 8620 and then claim its "in spec".

I had the pleasure of being invited to view and give my thoughts on some NEW MANUFACTURE, usgi spec, both dimensionally and "metalurgically" , made in canada M14 parts the other day. I can mention that i saw and handled them...... but i am sworn to not breathe a word about anything more than that..... i know .... flame away. These parts are not in any quantity and i didn't get to take any samples home hehehe
It seems that there is indeed others out there that are going to make it a little easier here in canada to source new, g.i. spec parts, namely bolts and oprods (one piece, forged) , rear sight pinions...... and a few other essentials to the rifle.
receivers were not discussed however, hammer forging , then machining an m14 receiver is no small task and you had better have some huge coin to even think about it.
Hammer forged, made in canada, with integral rail...... yes, if the price came in under 800.00, say 650.00 to 800.00 , I would buy one.
