Hi guys great sight. I am no expert on the m-14 trying to learn.
My most important question for the experts here will be is the gun legal for a regular Joe to own?
This gun was taken to a gun guru because the rod would disconnect from the bolt sometimes after many shots often blamed on cheap ammo.
The guru was not happy and said the gun was not legal to own.
So with a flashlight and Google and researching this site, the gun was discovered to have very lightly etched marks with "Hahn machine st Charles".
The selector switch will move but has never been switched to try at range.
Also the gun appears to have a modified number looks like heat was involved changing outside numbers it is now only stamped with two digits.
So what do the experts say legal or not
Thanks

------------------
The rear of the oprod can become 'dismounted' from its track if the oprod handle is 'pushed or twisted up/down' when the oprod is manually pulled backwards and released to feed a round.
The oprod should be pulled straight backwards and then fully released - there's no need to ease or guide it forward.
Sometimes the oprod is easy to purposely manually dismount from the track, but it will still work ok when firing if it's handled properly.

If the bolt lug comes out of the oprod 'cam hump' with the rear of the oprod still in the track, then there is something mechanically wrong.
