Among other issues, it has a split at the neck of the stock (I think that is the correct term, neck) which makes it wobble slightly when it's being aimed and especially when the action is worked. I'm looking for the best glue to hold the split closed but am a little uncertain about which is the best glue to use on the old walnut, which has over the past nearly 100 years been well soaked in gun oil and goodness knows what else in the way of waxes and polishes. Advice please! ]]> Stock Sweets http://m14forum.com/stock/115685-split-neck-stock.html http://m14forum.com/stock/115685-split-neck-stock.html Rare MOD 1 in action http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/m14forum/~3/l9jKOurcL1Y/115684-rare-mod-1-action.html Thu, 31 May 2012 21:05:07 GMT MOD 1 pics in action Image: http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y227/1fastgxr/sageaction91.jpg Image: http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y227/1fastgxr/sageactio90-1.jpg MOD 1 pics in action

Some of you may know already I have no great love for TRW parts because I think generally speaking they are over priced. I wanted a TRW hammer once to complete a TRW trigger group and refused to pay 70 plus dollars folks were asking. I waited and swapped straight up for a Winchester hammer I had lying around. Since then my loathing for anything for TRW has increased simply because of the overpricing in an already expensive hobby. Well over this past weekend i was perusing the web I came across a TRW barrel for $118 plus shipping. As much as I seem to loathe TRW I couldn't pass up a good deal. 10 Bucks shipping later it arrived. I half expected it to be shot out. It gauges as good as any barrel I have ever seen. The only minor issue if you can call it that is some minor peening near the gas cylinder splines. Gas Cylinder fits nice and tight. Anyway here's a few pics of my el cheapo barrel.

I was checking out this adapter here:

http://www.harrisbipods.com/HB2R.html

But I am not quite sure how exactly this is supposed to mount to the stock. Is it supposed to replace the sling plate or should it mount into the hole forward of the sling plate?

Speaking of, isnt that hole supposed to remain unobstructed?

Also, if anyone has any recommendations for bipods or adapters Id love to hear them. Been looking at Harris, considering Bobro but they seem a bit pricey to me. ]]> The M14 Snypr18 http://m14forum.com/m14/115678-bipod-adapter-standard-stock.html http://m14forum.com/m14/115678-bipod-adapter-standard-stock.html Quick Oats http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/m14forum/~3/mhb4O39eofo/115677-quick-oats.html Thu, 31 May 2012 17:15:28 GMT Think of this thread as sister to the one I started about instant mashed potatoes, from which I got some good suggestions about other uses for those flakes. Here, I'm not referring to the just add hot water little packets of artificially flavoured oat crap, but rather to the big box version of oatmeal that requires a minute or more of cooking and actually is close to the real thing (which is steel cut oats that have to be cooked for 10-15 minutes or more). Quaker Oats is a popular brand. I've always stockpiled largish amounts of quick oats and have regarded them as the other nearly complete food from potatoes- that would be my Scots side coming out; oats are historically a Scottish staple food item.

(AP) May 24, 3:59 PM (ET)
- A federal judge in New Mexico has sentenced a gun dealer to five years in prison for supplying a ring that smuggled arms to Mexican cartels.
Dealer Ian Garland was the second of 14 people charged in the conspiracy to be sentenced. All have pleaded guilty.
Other defendants include the former police chief, former mayor and a former trustee from the New Mexico border town of Columbus.
Federal prosecutors say the defendants smuggled about 200 firearms to Mexican drug gang members, some of which showed up at murder scenes and drug seizures. Garland's lawyer pushed for a lesser sentence, saying that despite his guilty plea, Garland thought the guns were for former Columbus trustee Blas Gutierrez, to whom he had sold guns in the past after performing mandatory background checks.

I have read several posts the Troy system will reduce muzzle climb and make for faster accurate shooting.

My questions is should I add the addition Smith Enterprises Muzzle brake. I am afraid that it might actually push the barrel below my intended target after shooting.

I am trying to make this into a pretty competitive 3 gun platform. Shooting fast on on the move.

Haven't read any reviews yet but it looks like a pretty well designed and built weapon. My reason for reposting the link here is the last twenty pages of the manual starting with page 28. What the manufacturer has to say about American freedom and the state of our society today should be required reading for every high school civics class (and every gun owner in general).

The reason I ask, is because I'm not sure if I want a M1A standard (9.3lbs) or a M1A loaded (9.8lbs).
