With all the 'new fangled' M-14 type rifles being pictured (which are all awesome, btw) I felt compelled to show the other end of the spectrum - Old school!

Rifle on the left is a 1990 vintage M1A all GI (TRW & Winchester)


Rifle on the right is a 2000 vintage all commerical except the stock and 9/62 HRA barrel. I have a lugged suppressor waiting for this rifle for the day I move from this hell hole - I mean state. GI1

For what it's worth, the newer rifle embarrases the older one in accuracy.

Thanks!

Like you say 'they all look awesome' but I sure do like Old School. Wood and steel, that's about as good as you get. Thanks for the pics.

wood & steel, love it.

#3 is SA Oct 1939 and #4 is H&R 1955

I enjoy seeing all the '14 pattern rifles our members post but my favorites have to be the "traditional style" rifles, I'm just old myself, I guess. Very nicely done!

 

[twobravo]

michelbouts, the 1939 shoots ok but the H&R is a great shooter.

Charlene32, the lug and switch are now in place. - - - old pic's.

M14 1959

Hello twobravo,

I know the H&R is good, but as we are not allowed to have more then 5 guns in The Netherlands, you have to make choices in what you can get. Further more are not that much M4teens for sale in Europe. Most people who buy a M14 have this gun for life.......

Greets, michelbouts

michelbouts.
Sorry about your limits. At least for now we do not have that problem. I have 19 M1 Garands now and I plan on going to the CMP south store in March to pick up more.
