I believe Machman assumed you had a FH with a real bayonet lug, not the Norinco fake lug.
M305 shorty mods?

LOL...I seem to recall several posts on CanadaAmmo's site wondering if the new shorties came with Bayo lugs...and at an M14 seminar I attended about half didn't get lugs on their older M305s, so IMHO there is a demand for the lug, but I fully realize none of us will ever have to"fix bayonets!"

Nice looking rifle. Very nice. Where did you source the stock?

Tengoo, I can't believe you hacksawed off your bayo mount
Because they'd need it for all the close quarters combat we have on the front lines here in Canada..............

Better to have it and not need it, rather than need it but not have it!
I got mine this week. A lot of oil over eveything but it looks as good as some of the original M14s that I saw in the 70s and 80s. Very surprising! The manual is an exact copy from Springfield and even mentions Springfield and Springfield tools!
I have guests this weekend so no shooting. I will do groups next week with commercial ammo so that I can have the brass for handloads. I will photograph all the groups as soon as a mod is done. The Sadlak spring guide rod is on its way. I will check the spring and then the gas system. I saw that the national Match Sadlak gas system is NOT to be used with lower pressure military ammo! So before I go that route, I will find a load that works.
