Had someone with an M-14S drop in tonight for an hour-ish....did a bit of work on his rifle for him...

1. Shimmed gas system

2. Installed the "navy" sight

3. Installed R33 tac-latch.

It was good fun, and a reminder to me that it's been a long while since I fixed up anyone's M-14's....anyone else need work done? I still have a small stack of shims around...

NS
 
say whats the differnce between shiming the gas system and unitizing?
whats better or whats more reliable.........I am all for welding it since I can do that my self - and dont feel like cutting shims and or surfacegrinding them

thanks
 
Thanks again Navyshooter. You got to the speal before me. :) Also, thanks for taking me out shooting afterwards. I'm dying to go again. Hopefully my pistol won't act up next time though.

Joe's rifle was one of the hardest I've seen to get the flash suppressor off. Took a considerable bit of work, compared to the other 4-5 rifles I've done. (I do the no-drill, beat it off with a mallet method....)

Lucky you. I rebarreled my rifle (thanks tiriaq) but we couldn't get the flash suppressor off at all, with either a drill or by beating it. In the end we had to cut the damn thing off. I even bought a couple of stub barrel ends for their flash hiders but we couldn't get them off either. So now I have a nicely barreled 18.5" G.I. profile barrel with no front sight or flash hider. Maybe one of these days I'll finally be able to shoot it. It'd be nice if could remember where I stashed my G.I. bolt as well.

And to think that at Hungry's clinic their were not one, but two rifles where the welds didn't take at all. Hell the one guys rifle didn't even have a tight castle nut so the rattled all over the place until it was tightened up.
