M14 Fat/Round Op Rod Spring Guides?

[Travis Bickle]

A few years back M14 doctor (I believe) was selling the fat/round op rod spring guides for the M14 platform.
Been searching the google for a source in Canada but can't find anything at all.

Anyone know if they are still available and from where?

Talk to Frank at M14.ca. They manufacture the upgraded op-rod. S & J Hardware also normally has them

We have them.

I got mine from Magwedge, those are the ones from M14medic. Also got an enhanced bolt catch from them

Do the Norinco springs fit the Magwedge guides?

 

[m14medic.ca]

They do.

But for the cost of a good spring, why not pick up a fresh one?

I have fewer than 100 rounds through my M305, so the stock spring should be good for a while.

Got one on the way in the mail.
Going to do a side by side accuracy comparrison once I get it.
10 rounds with original guide. Let the rifle cool right back down and swap out the guide then another 10 rounds group.
I don't think it will improve accuracy one shred. I think it will make the action move more smoothly.
That's my hypothesis anyhow. Hopefully I'll be wrong on first half

it defiantly keeps the op rod from moving around less. its one part of making a tighter rifle that shoots tighter groups. (unitized gas system, bedded stock, match op rod guide, match barrel)

Aye,
I have tuned mine, indexed the barrel, NM rear sight assy, op rod guide aligned and tac welded in place, gas system unitized and shimmed, front sight filed to calibrate to the rear drum, action bedded in the Walnut stock with Marine Tex.
The only thing I haven't done is replace the Op Rod spring guide. She already puts 10 rounds of surplus 7.62mm into a 4" circle easily at 100 meters with the irons.
We'll see if it makes any real difference. Worst case it will make it smoother at least!
