I seriously thought long and hard about this one. I was actually sad but it was time for her to go. Nothing wrong with her but she was gonna cost a lot of money to get her up to "hungry, Laz, 45ACP" standards. A USGI bolt, a decent pistol grip stock, etc. I loved it and WILL one day buy another. I saw a new Marstar stamped 2007 M14 today too at the shop. Anyone who wants one, they have it at Wanstall's in Maple Ridge for $550 and mine is now there. Dont know how much he's gonna ask for mine but worth looking. Good luck to all the "West Coaster M14 Support Group". I will miss the M14.
