M14 barrels

Yeah, Give Ellwood Epps a try ... speak to Doug (gunsmith) or MikeT (my go-to enabler, ha ha ha ha) and see what they just happen to have.

Krieger fun? I'm leaning on Jerry Tao of Mystic Precision, he is a Krieger dealer

Another Krieger plug for Hirsch Precision, Hey are Krieger dealers also! :wave:

Cheers,
Barney
 
My "go-to" is Peter @ Hirsch precision. I have purchased criterion and Kreiger from him in the past.

Another viable option right now is direct from LRB via Wolverine Supplies.

But really I don't have any other sources that Barney hasn't already mentioned....

If you or anyone needs a 22" Criterion barrel (not chrome-lined chamber), then Doug at Ellwood Epps (board sponsor) is your source. I know/realize/understand that the OP (Original Poster fellow) is looking for an 18.5" barrel, but for the rest of you kind readers, if you need a 22" barrel, then they are available at Epps.

I just spoke to Doug (Epps) this morning and he says he still has some there. And also some FAT NM M14 hardwood stocks for your NM build project. These have a FATTER profile than the Norinco-Plinko black plastic stock by at least another 1/4" all around... Did I say Fzcking FAT Bastards? Lots of freaking meat for you to work with.

Now about them Criterion Barrels in 22" NON-Chrome lined....you must fit the chamber and bolt using a pull through reamer in .308 caliber. They all come from the factory about 10 thousandths short of a 1.630" chamber. A pull through reamer stops cutting once the bolt closes on the GO gauge of 1.630", tight chamber (read: prone to slam fires if you are not loading from a magazine tension like a douche-bag :( ) Never let the bolt SLAM home on a cartridge loosely sitting inside the chamber... use the magazine or clip (Garand) with these floating firing pins.... :cool:

NOW... yer #### WILL fall off! :evil:


Cheers and warm regards, :wave:
