Drug out my M14 in Blackfeather chassis with Magpul SGA stock
I've had this one built for at least two years but never fired at anything but clays or soda cans with a Burris FastFire red dot sight.

I recently installed a Sadlak Airborne mount and a Magpul SGA stock with a cheek riser. The cheek riser isn't perfect, but workable.

The barrel is a Bula Defense 19.25" medium weight barrel. I've never done accuracy tests on this barrel, so this was a quick trial to see what it likes. It looks like it really likes light 168's and I pulled off a 1/2 inch group at 100 with a light load of IMR-4064.

Factory gold medal 168's was in the 1.5" range with 175's opening up into the 2.5" range.

I don't post much, but do you have a picture of this beast?

Thanks

+1 to that. ^^^

I'm looking at alternatives to JAE, since they are gone. Frown

I see all of the pics. Neat gun. Interesting use of the Magpul stock.

The Blackfeather is a pretty modular stock and a lot less bulkier than the SAGE. I like that it keeps the original contour of the wood stock from the receiver heel forward.

The shotgun stock is good for those in ban-states.

Here's the same chassis from many years ago with a standard M1A in it and a Magpul PRS stock. The PRS adds a considerable amount of weight.

I can see it now. That is sharp!

What are your thoughts on it vs a McMillan? I saw you have an overview of that chassis on YouTube; I’ll have to check that out.

EDIT: Just did. It seems like it’s for a different purpose of M14 than what I’m looking for. It’s focused on light weight and won’t fit my heavy barrel. Still sharp.

If you want a chassis for your heavy barrel, SAGE makes a heavy barreled version.
