A few years ago, a vintage article from American Rifleman was circulating with an inside look at TRW M14 production. It had lots of great pictures, including boxing the rifles up two-to-a-box for shipment.

Links to that article appear to be dead wherever I find them.

Does anyone have a PDF or active link they could post here? I'd like to save that article like I should have done when it was available before. Neat piece of history.

Thanks,
DeWayne

Can't find my electronic copy. Making The M14 Rifle - by Walter J Howe and EH Harrison - American Rifleman February 1963.
Here is the article on Rdit:

I have the original article put away in cellophane. These are pics of photocopies I made years ago.

I use an I-phone and the NOTEs app allows a user to utilize the camera as a document scanner. I didn't know that until recently.

On the TRW side of things, I find the article absolutely fascinating. My wife's paternal grandfather was on the Board of Directors at TRW. I posted a show and tell earlier about her other grandfather and the pistols we inherited from his estate. The TRW granddad was a retired 4 star Army AirCorps/Airforce.General. I would love to do an all TRW tribute rifle some day.

Here was the card stock Media flyer that came out of the Heddon lure archive collection . Only one I have seen .

TRW Media flyer

Found this heavy card stock vintage TRW flyer assuming it was an advertisement they made when American Rifleman visited them in 1962. Most have seen the PDF or copy of AR Mag. But I have never seen this copy,printed on same card stock as TM and FM manuals.And it reeks of that 60's smell!!.
