Pics of the new M14s.

[canuckchap]

i'm with you on that one

does look more like a fibre reinforced molded plastic. Note the parting line down the middle of the stock.

Note the traditional USGI Fiberglass which was a laid up style.

That would explain why "tacticalII" was saying tehy would be priced around 475 and not closer to 550 (as they would be if they had a true USGI fiberglass stock)

Looks like folks should not have 'bashed" tacticalII so much. He appears to be delivering on what he said.

What does that say on the side of the receiver? Looks like BELL LIFESTYLE.CA? What is that? The stock looks like 'fibreglass' in the same way as ATI stocks are 'fibreglass', ie fibre-impregnated moulded nylon-like polycarbonate. Doesn't look like the laid resin-based fibreglass of the old USGI stocks. That might be why they would need the liner, to account for the natural flex of the softer material.

Years ago, Bell was the first distributor to extend a line of credit to my business. Never had a bad experience dealing with them.
Saw a Bell dealers' flyer listing these rifles several months ago. Wasn't a secret they were bringing them in.

I'm not a dealer, so I didn't get a flyer from Bell. I'm just a little ol customer who's trying to get info on this latest shipment and not getting much help.

Have fun with that unit, good investment.

Neither am I, any more. But I do talk to those who are.

 

[tacticalII]

Is the flash hidder removable or is it welded on?

I'll check tonight.

You're right it's not the old fibreglass

So far?
Frontier
Moving Target
PS Militaria

....but finding out who else has them for sale has been like pulling teeth.

so who retails them online?

We will also have these in stock shortly...prices to be determined on arrival. Note that some will have camo stocks. Phil.

 

[tacticalII]

I can't say I liked camo.


Did the old M14s have the tool kits in the stock?

 

[millwright]

Yup

 

[Cyanide Ride]

I can't say I liked camo.


Did the old M14s have the tool kits in the stock?

Tool kits consisted of :

Grease Tube
Combo tool
Cleaning Rod
Chamber brush

Most of the time, the hole was not large enough and everything was stuck in there.

 

[shootemup]

theres two for sale in halifax right now. im tempted to get another one, dont ask me why. im trying to justify the need for two M-14s

Otherwise yer #### will fall off...ask anyone!

Most of the time, the hole was not large enough and everything was stuck in there.

Most of the time, that's because someone put it back in incorrectly. In my experience, anyways.

Thanks for the pic tacticalII!

Can you confirm the marking on this pic?

Is this made by PolyTech?

Thanks

 

[tacticalII]

Yes they are marked Poly Inc, it doesn't say Norinco anywhere I have found.

Well that's a strange approach to marketing - permanently engrave a rifle with a reference to a website plugging cures for old folks' urinary problems.

I think that they're marketing it as the final cure. Just take ol' geezer to the bush and give him the 7.62 pill.

That would make for one good final piss in the pants
