Who out there is still shooting M-14's?

"I vowed to myself to fight against evil more completely and more wholeheartedly than I ever did before. . . . That’s the only way to pay back part of that vast debt, to live up to and try to fulfill that tremendous obligation."

I bought this in 83, had to get a loan as I was just a young man. It wears a LAW483 E2 stock, all NM.

Gents,

I've got six completed M1A's/M-14's and three that are "under construction". Think I'll quite at nine(9)...;-)

Most are LRB builds and a Bula or two...gunsmithed by TonyBen,LLC. Better known here as benny6.

Damn bulb burnt out! Gotta get that fixed!

Here's Wes with the rear-lugged Bula/Kreiger I built for him. This was the one I shot a 0.8" group with iron sights.

This is my LRB with a Bula medium weight barrel in a Blackfeather...

This is Wes' Bula XM21 with a Kreiger dropped into a SAGE.

My Custom built SOCOM with a Bula receiver, GI parts, a carbon/graphite/kevlar stock and a Sadlak titanium airborne mount and Vortex Razor HD.

And lastly, my LRB/Lothar-Walther heavy barrel/JAE that Wes named "The Walther Wonder."

I built this one for a soldier that wanted something close to what he carried in Iraq.

Tony.

Tony,

Nice rifles, to say the least. I can't wait until you get the M3A McMillan done. It's going to be a real tack driver...not that ALL your rifles are tack drivers...

Builds pending:

McMillan M3A

All NIW Springfield Armory/LRB Reciever (The PFC Special)

McMillan M2A. Gotcha! Didn't know about that one yet, did you?

I have a like new, ART II scope that I want to build a vietnam era M21 tribute eventually.

Need to find a GI fiberglass stock and a mount and get serious on this.

I have a 1966 tribute M40 that Remington released a few years ago to place along side it. Have a retro green Redfield on it.

HK Ag,

Sweet...I'd love to have an M40 to go with my other rifles. I'm jealous of your ART II scope. Always looked at having one, but haven't gotten around to it yet.

you need an ART TEL or one of the early Redfields w/ the tombstone rangefinders for VN,

ART II were much later

It's been awhile since I have pulled this one out of the safe. When I do I am always impressed with it. Need to get back out and give it some love.

I am super hyped, just ordered my first M1A.

I went with the standard because I enjoy iron sites and don't need to get close to MOA. Just wanted a great shooter. It shipped Friday so needless to say I am excited to have it in a few days and already have 3 20 round check mate mags loaded up.
