There are, however, a few important differences: M1A receivers are made from precision investment cast AISI 8620 alloy steel. Maybe it was a flawed one that someone who used to work there picked it out of the scrap bin. Those 500-yard targets are well within the M14's capabilities. At first glance, both rifles appear similar. Had the casting not been milled out for them? Former Marine 2nd/Lt.

Often they can fill you in what configuration the rifle left the factory, or if it left as a receiver.

A different M1A. Government rifles, a few M1A's, and a few Smith Enterprise M14 rifles were manufactured as full auto. "If properly lubricated, it would continue to function, even if it was dirty," he says.

"There was not a time that I can remember that the weapon I used ever malfunctioned.". "They would get out of control. If it's a well done conversion and you like it better than a standard configuration it's probably worth that much to you.

G.I. Another source for a custom-built M14/M1A with an LRB receiver is James River Manufacturing. The Coast Guard "HITRON" snipers have select fire M14 EBRs modified with Sage International stocks. There are other semi-auto M14-style rifles besides the M1A currently made. http://www.m14tfl.com/upload/showthread.php?t=89576, Second Media Corp., 111 Peter Street, Suite 901, Toronto, Ontario, M5V 2H1, Canada. Today McNeese is a rangemaster at Gunsite Academy, where, along with pistol, carbine and shotgun techniques, he teaches battle-rifle classes with the M14-style rifle.

Before reviewing some of the latest selections, it's important to differentiate between the military M14 rifle and the civilian M1A. Part of this renewed focus on the M14 has been due to the war in Afghanistan, where long-range target acquisition well beyond the practical reach of the M16's 5.56 NATO round has become the norm. In 1964, all further procurement of the M14 was curtailed, and by 1968 the U.S. Army had demoted the rifle from "Standard A" classification to "Limited Standard." Perhaps above all, McNeese praises the M14's reliability. The Springfield Armory M1A is, for the most part, identical to the M14.
