Here are some other pictures for you fellas.
I was going through my photos and thought you might like to see some.
I'm also trying to get the battle rifles postings over the 1000 mark.....the battlerifles forum is second from the last in total postings?????
Here's a pic of some USGI mags.
from top down
#1 OM - Winchester
#2 Check-mate industries "restricted, law enforcement only"
#3 Atwood Vacuum and Machine
#4 UHC - Union Harvestor Company
This is for a photo of 4 USGI followers that have been welded up like the Norc mag followers than restrict mags to 5 rounds. Who has the heart to drill and pin 35-50 year old mags???? Yes 50 years old, 2007 marks the 50th year for the '14 !!!!
I might even sell a few.
Here are 2 Smith Enterprise GI pieces
On the left is the Gas Lock Dovetail Sight - any standard GI type sight can be attached. This one is for short barrels (18 inch) the standard barrel (22in)lock is 4 mil shorter from barrel hole to bottom of dovetail.
On the right is the Gas Lock Navy Sight, also called the HK style sight
Markings are the old style
2.I.D.
O.I.F
"2nd Infantry division
Operation Iraqi Freedom"
New TRW bolt, right out of the package.
All the books I've loved before,
The green Scott Duff book is a must for every M14 shooter
Since this photo Lee Emerson (AKA Different) has published probably the most thurough M14 book. The "Last Steel Warrior" is another rehash of most of the books in the photo with a lot of newer information, IE all Smith Ents work with re-arming US forces in Iraq and the middle east.
Now for all you guys that tell me that your "gunsmith" tells you that the Norc barrels are too small in diameter to thread for a Vortex......get a better gunsmith!!!! sorry if that's a little obnoxious...but it's true.
The threads aren't 100% as tall as standard.....but I have tried to over torque a vortex onto this barrel.....to strip it....couldn't do it.
Top barrel Criterion 18.5,
Bottom 10 year old Norc cut down to 18.70 inches and re-threaded for GI DC Vortex
Front pic, SA Inc m1a in a JAE stock, in the rear SA Inc in a McMillan M2A FG stock
During the AWB (Assult Weapons ban) in the US my buddy in central Nevada became a bit of a magazine hoarder.
Some of these packages are 2 packs
Here's a USGI flashider, with a Smith Ent DC vortex, the change over shortens the overall length 1.5 inches.
The "spoon" or mag charger as most call it, these are a great little item if you have scoped your M14. Since the scope requires you remove your stripper clip guide you can't top load an M-14. So....just place this little 'spoon' on top of you magazine, drop in a loaded stripper clip and puch the cartridges down. Not quite as needed here in Canada with our 5 round rull, but I still use mine at the range since I take 4 mags to the range.
This is a USGI supply tube that comes with 2 gas cylinders in it.
Markd "Olin Matheson Co" = Winchester
