I am trying to understand all of the gifted knowledge that is being provided here on this forum but could I beg the experts to provide just a little more, please (I'll ask for more later!).
I have a standard rack grade m1a. I purchased a new wood stock and hopefully wood handguard. I would like to make it more. Having said that I know that there are many things that can be done:
Glass bed,
Unitize gas cylinder,
National match op rod,
National match trigger, etc,
New barrel?
Lets start with the first things.
I have bedded a mosin nagant m39 so I have some experience, but from what I read M1a/14's are tougher. Is there a pdf version of this process?
Gas cylinder. Shim? or Unitize?
I have read that alot unitize over shimming. However, I also read that SEI no longer unitizes but shims.
I think I should unitize - weld version? school me why I should go with the screw and glue method?
If I send the gas cylinder off to be reworked do I need to send the complete action? someone here mentioned that?
Can I just purchase a USGI gas cylinder and parts and send in for unitizing?
It was mentioned in one of the posts here to read one specific manual (military) that talks about bedding. Is there a pdf version of this document? link?
thanks in advance for your assistance.
