Advise on the m-14 and ruger mini-14

[wildphil24]

anyone know where i could get parts for the m14?

1) You will get more results if you move to the Main battle rifle section.

2) You probably have much to learn about the M14. Among which there are things you won't learn by asking questions. Take the time to read the M14 stickies and M1A manual.

Ammo cost is a factor and personally I find the Norc M14 to be a piece of crap unless your willing to mod the hell outta it.

Any other M14 is costing an arm and a leg.

The mini is a real fun gun and 223 is cheap, and fit and finish is way above the Norc.

What do you mean it's a piece of crap stock?

Do you mean it's less accurate than a mini-14 or less reliable? You've already mentioned the fit and finish is way better than the m305, but with the $500 you save on the gun you can probably sort something out.

I'm really curious why you think it's a piece of crap. I can't find any other .308 semi's in this price range that beat it. My stock m305 shot 1.5-2.5 inches out of the box with nothing installed except a 3-9x40 scope.
