I loved having the butt plate. Not to mention snuggling with my rifle (I miss her ) http://photos-h.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-snc1/v573/104/93/1333510790/n1333510790_30160135_4721.jpg

The M1 turned into the M14 around the late 50's according to this M14/M1A book I had. It started off as the T44 I believe and went from there. The M14, basically has the capability of fully automatic fire, like was the case with the squad light machine gun version they had. It had a bi-pod on it, and fired in fully automatic. At the time, the Army kind of deemed it a "worthless" creation9M14A1). The M1A is basically you're civilian style, as you said the M16 to AR15 type. As far as the M14 history goes, it beat out the Belgians T48 (basically the SA58) to eventually be our battle rifle. Honestly to this day, we'll NEVER have a true BATTLE RIFLE that will be what the M14 and the M1 Garand were. If you place an M1 Garand and M1A/M14 side by side, the same features are really the bolt, sights, and you could say the walnut stock. The M14 came with a flip up butt plate (which I loved) for added stability during fully automatic fire. That's one added benefit where the M14/M1A design start to differ other than the obvious magazine fed vs. box mag fed from the top Garand style. 2 Versions of M14 http://tri.army.mil/LC/cs/csi/m14rifle.jpg There are tons of M1A versions out there from Springfield, but traditional M14's were produced by companies like Winchester, TRW, Remington, and Harrington & Richardson Arms Co. Here's some factual and not bad info from Wikipedia suprisingly: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M14_rifle

I wouldn't be suprised if they did. Or Gander Mountain.

$395 it be, or make a reasonable offer.

If anything it may darken up the wood just a hair, but it'll keep them from dry rotting and cracking on you. Gotta remember those rifles (my M14 build date was 63' from TRW) are older than dirt depending on serial #'s. Could be anywhere from early 40's on up to the 60's. The top M1 carbine should stay the same color, maybe a turn out a little darker.

Granted my M14 was in worse conditions then you'll probably will have any of your rifles in, but I still had the wood stock on mine before we got our synthetics: http://photos-a.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-snc1/v573/104/93/1333510790/n1333510790_30160256_2503.jpg My dad had sent over some linseed oil, and it did wonders on our M14 wood stocks.

Set out some bear traps. http://www.revelstokemuseum.ca/image/collection_images/bearTRAP.gif

Get some linseed oil, it'll condition those stocks quite well. Stuff works magic on older wood.

The pub son I'll be here tomorrow night http://www.tapwerks.com/Home.html

Maybe if it had a roots blower.

About time someone did something. It's one thing to come in legally, another to jump the boarder and expect work. Sheriff is doing a great job in saving the .gov $$$ on illegals.

I wish we had a Jack in the Box here

BUMP.

NO!!!!

Looks amazing :thumbup:

I'd rock it for a weekend hauler/landscaping truck. Looks almost like a mini deuce: http://store.colemans.com/cart/images/2118.jpg

Probably McDonalds double cheeseburger, large fry then hit up my vending machine @ my shop. Late night, same and add a small soda.

Ultra Z hood, be different. SS style is quite played out and boring. http://www.hpsalvage.com/NStarCamaro.jpg Welcome aboard, nice to see some clean LT1's still exist.

Price dropped to $395 O.B.O.

No problem at all. Thanks for stoping on in.

Troof.

+REP for the shocker sticker.

I was 19 when I bought my 98' Z28. I can admidt to doing stupid things with it and all, but it's also all on the person. I think the only bad thing my car got me was 2 speeding tickets overall, and that's it. Look back at the old timers with the 396 Novas, Cobra Jet Mustangs, 389 Tri-powered GTO's from back in the day they speak of having as kids. Not to mention those cars wouldn't handle their way out a paper box too boot.

International and Ford shouldn't have swept that problem under the rug I had a customer's turbo basically come apart on him while driving. Needless to say, Ford had a nice bill on their hands for a brand new 6.0.
