Hi Saders, glad all worked out but, ahh, but good does a bigger mag have to do with the situation. Anyway good hunting.

I assume he means the 20/5 round magazines dig into your back with the rifle slung, and that the smaller size factory 5's don't.

And wow, some of the early comments on this thread are sort of embarrassing.
Why are there so many impolite people on CGN these days?

 

[saders]

yup that is what i mean arizonaicedtea

Between the Newfie bogs and all the zombies it's a dangerous world. Glad I bought two m14. Must have been fun cleaning the gun afterward

 

[saders]

yeah and with the normal stock it was 10 pounds heaver when i got out with all the water in it.Little bit of moss down the barrel was the most crap in.Just took out the cleaning rod and cut some of my shirt off and cleaned out the bore. Open the gas plug made sure there was no dirt in and cleaned off the bolt and was good to go.

Cleaning your rifle with torn up strips of shirt.
Not gonna lie, thats kinda badass.
Is your M14 in a wood stock?

 

[saders]

no synticstock at the time have the archangle stock now

 

[arizonaicedtea]

Nice. Just out of curiosity, do you find it shoots any better in that stock then in the Norinco synthetic?

 

[saders]

hard to tell was only to the range with it once since i got the new stock waiting for my screw to come for my scope mount to see then but the stock feels alot tighter then the normal one.

So your uncle carried the ammo to keep the rifle safe.

Now the million dollar question is:

Was the rifle trigger locked?

  [*]No, 0 points

Quite the story, but it didn't happen without pictures.

 

[saders]

That story makes no sense what so ever. All I got out of reading it was your uneducated and terrible at field craft.

Your a little b*tch.
