finally getting my M14

[Commissar Gribb]

YAY! I'm finally getting my M14!

Fulton Armory M14 service rifle, "M21" receiver, NM trigger, ARMS scope mount, new walnut stock.

They said it should be finished in 4 months.

about time too.. I've been going through that gun pre-buyer's syndrome of purchasing acessories, ammo and mags before I actually get the damn thing.

Will it have DA SWITCH???

Sounds nice! Can't wait to see the pics.

Congratulations. One day I need to buy/build a non Springfield Armory Inc. M14 clone.

 

[Commissar Gribb]

No "da switch", but it's all USGI parts so it's as close to the real thing as you can get without paying far out your... wallet.

Don't worry about the switch.

All the ones in the armory at work (USN) are SEMI AUTO ONLY. They are M-14s nonetheless.

Sounds great!

Don't worry about buying accessories ahead of getting the rifle in. Think of it as decorating the nursery and getting all the "baby" things before the "big day".

I don't want no teenage queen ...

If you don't mind the question, approximately what will that rifle cost you?



DMK's daydreaming about saving enough pennies to have a sweet M14 built too...

 

[Roadwild17]

Good question, I'm currently saving for an AR but .308 issues might come up before then.

Sounds like it'll be a tack driver! Please post some pics if possible!

Congrats on the rifle.

If you don't already have a stash of USGI magazines you need to order a bunch from Armalite. $25 a pop for excellent(all 12 of mine were new) USGI mags is a steal. I hope the wait doesn't drive you crazy.
