Starting my M14 build.

As kyjelly says...M14.ca. All aluminum chassis and rails. Canadian made and readily available. Troy, Vltor or Sage are quite hard to find.
 
What are your accuracy objectives for the m14? Or is it all about looks and ergonomics? This gun will never equal a bolt action rifle or Ar-15 in accuracy. Nor will it come close with a stock barrel.
 
Some of the stock barrels are quite good. Chopper 1 is able to get excellent accuracy from his rifles. It all depends on the individual barrel. But if it is for hunting or medium distance plinking or target shooting, then the rifle is good for being non-restricted and low in cost.
 
Just curious as to his expectations. It would be a mistake to spend $1,500.00 or more on a stock, scope and mount and discover that you are not happy with the end result. I'm thinking the best you can do is 1" groups for the first five shots,and after the barrel heats up, the poi will wander. And that's the best case scenario and possibly overly optimistic. I get 1.5" five shot groups with everything I can do to optimize a stock barrel.
 
From one newbie to another. Before you buy the parts make sure you have the tools!!! Castle nut pliers, m14 wrenchs, right size allen keys! etc etc. I use www.brownells.com for the parts and the castle nut pliers. the tools I bought from www.Sadlak.com. high quality tools and not pricy either. all Made in USA too. I bought my M14 stock for M14.ca I was certainly impressed with the quality craftmenship on the stock as well Franks's commitment to making a seriously BAD ARSE rifle stock.
He has a couple options to change components on the stock to make the rifle how you want it. The only issue is if you go with his stock you need to go with his options too. I bought hte J point Casm then the J point 4 moa red dot. very small but very cool! I was hoping to have my rifle upgraded within the week, thinking no problem right? Wrong. Takes longer to understand critical processes.
