M-14 "timing"

[jumper]

What does the term "timing" mean re M-14?

 

[M14Doctor]

It means great may things, in various locations where parts interface and move together
There is bolt lock up timing/truing
Oprod/bolt timing
Oprod/ piston
Gas lock to cylinder
Ect ect
When something is "timed" correctly it is aligned, fitted and functioning at optimum and as designed

Could also mean being at a U.S gun show with unlimited U.S. G.I bolts, op rods, rear sight assemblies, gas pistons etc. when it was legal to bring them back - LOL!
(All I have left from my supply is a few gas pistons) -

Well... there is good timing and bad timing, then there is the rhythm method and let me tell you sir with a name like Jumper, you definitely want to have that timed proper.
