Some of you may remember I bought my first LRB 18 1/2" M25 Tanker Rifle a couple of months ago shown is this post:
http://m14forum.com/gunsmithing/197035-incoming-pulled-trigger-new-lrb-m14-m25.html

99% of the time this Rifle will only be used at 100~200 yards...

My priorities in order are:

1. Reliability
2. Forged Receiver
3. Traditional Look & Feel and Accuracy

I always buy at least two of everything....so I'm configuring my next one.
Any other suggestions?

M25 Rifle

• 22" Medium Weight Chrome Lined Barrel 1:11 Twist
• National Match Flash Hider
• LRB National Match Spring Guide
• USGI Walnut Stock (medium brown)
• 10 round magazine,
• Sling,
• Manual

Accessories:

• 3 - 20 Round Magazine
• Shipping/Insurance

Total $3,103.50

I already own these two Vortex Razor Gen-II Scopes:
1~6 for the 18 1/2" Rifle
3~18 for the 22" Rifle

I think it is smart if you can afford it to have 2 of the same firearm. I have this same philosophy. I have 2 m25's and really enjoy shooting them but also rely on them for hunting and safety.

I believe in having a pair of everything. Having another LRB would be great in my opinion.

Please post pictures of them together. DI5

Very nice. I couldn't stop at 2 M25s. I ended up with 4 in different configurations.

 

[m14brian]

Two is one, and one is none.

I go by the "2" philosophy also. Sometimes more.

 

[hytekrednek]

yep, even my spares have spares. There is no such thing as to much of a good thing.

Hey, it worked for Noah! But watch out, now. Look at nf1e's results. Two may breed their way into four! GI2

Agreed. I've always put it this way: Too much of a good thing is never enough...

Lucky#13 is right , they just keep multiplying.

I'm a novice on M14's and wanted advice from those in the know.

That's it? Like Elvis has left the building?
Kinda thin skin there. I can guarantee you other forums get much more snarky at the smallest thing.
It's all good people here. Sometimes it's gets bent a little and goes sideways but no harm intended.
Lighten up Francis.

Hey you guy's can be a little intimidating!

Uh, not sure what your point is. I saw nothing in m1911's posts that would elicit such a response.

m1911- Note that Nacho has a post count of exactly 3 more than you do, as of this moment. Do not be put off by snarkiness from someone, regardless of his history here. I'm not the most frequent poster myself, and hardly an expert on the M14. I learn something every time I come here, so I hope you keep coming too and enjoy the benefits of the knowledge base the members of this site have to offer.

 

[m14brian]

Yeah, I'm not so sure Nacho's comment seems appropriate to me either, I might even consider it trolling as it did illicit a negative emotional response (as noted in the forum rules). The OP's post was fine, as was the rest of ours in my opinion. If most posts seem intimidating, it is just what is lost in the translation of text without face to face communications and the benefit of body language and expressions, and being able to see someone's demeanor.
On good terms, I am one of the friendliest guys and most willing to help that you could meet, as is the case with most of the gentlemen on here. Sometimes that doesn't come across in print.
I hope my post wasn't looked upon as rude, I was just plainly sharing my strategy theory. If my response seemed unfriendly to the OP I apologize.

Good! That what I was hoping for. DI5

Your meaning seemed perfectly clear to me, and there was certainly nothing negative about it, Brian. I rather liked it! I think the only negative comment was from Nacho, and I really don't get his response. For the most part, we all tend to want more than one example of certain fine pieces of hardware, the M14 variants among them. I know for some, it is all one can do to find the money for one, and I've been there, believe me. But towards those who are blessed enough to have the disposable funds, and who feel the need, there is no reason for anyone else to be anything but glad for the occasion when pictures and descriptions are shared so that we can all appreciate the hardware. A little good-natured envy is not a bad thing, but jealousy and rudeness should be left out of the forum. Besides, we all need to have something to aspire to! DI5

I see I'm not alone in " if it's something cool buy two copies of it "
Art, you have lucky number 13. I have number 18 built as all TRW and number 19 built as all H&R.
Ah, it's a comfort to know I'm not alone in my addiction

 

[NATOBTHP]

Someday if I have the coin to buy either four consecutive numbered LRB M14 or USGI tails of the four manufacture's receivers. I've kept together all four manufacture's complete kits as far as manufacturer and drawing numbers go. I don't sweat trying to find who built the unmarked parts, unless it's obvious.
