Very Nice!
My first meeting with an M14 was during a Tactical Carbine Course.
One of the students, who is now a friend, brought his select fire M14 out for us to try during break.
No scope, just irons...in that distinctive wood stock with the pistol grip.
I might have to talk him into getting together again with that at the range.
They're not kidding about muzzle climb, that thing was climbing quick with a 3 round burst!!
He's like You.
I don't think he owns a rifle as cheap as my piddly old SAI M21...and I'm not kidding. He doesn't reload, so he just orders FGMM .308 by the PALLET Load!
He may have been one of your accomplices during the alleged string of bank robberies.
