currently only availlable for USGI and aftermarket imperial threaded barrels.... SEI makes em.... brownells sells em to canadians.
Unfortunately no canadian manufacturer has stepped up to the plate with this item for chinese barrels...... though i am working on it with a local manufacturer... don't expect anything soom

OK, but arent they asking a hefty $150+tax for them? Since the norm is about $75....
Only thing with SEI is that most of their parts won't fit Chinese M14's (Metric) just M1A's (STD)
You have to consider that a small shop is making them, so the costs for machine programing, and machine time factor heavily into the price..................Since there isn't a huge market for a metric version (unlike the standard versions)...........they aren't going to make the volume that would bring the price down..................The U.S .Doesn't have the number of Chinese M14s that we do, and since they can not be imported into the U.S, there is no big rush/demand for Smith to make a metric version................
I had a The Smith Dovetail gas lock on my CrazyHorse/ EBR clone with the tritium front site..............I liked it better then the standard GLFS................
SKBY.
Can you hook me up with one since you talk to those guys frequently?
Those are the same as on the P&D Enterprises Socom project...
...... what he said..... it's like a few guys have given me the gears for my custom stocks...... make em for under 200 and i'll buy one they say ...... not from me
