NOTICE to all f/glass stocked M-14's owners

[charleskieffner]

a number (?) of us f/glass stocked M1-A owners have noticed some cracking around the area of where the FULL AUTO selector switch would normally be. barely seen to the eye but w/mag glass evident with receiver in stock. with receiver removed from stock,on the inside area right rear, its obvious as hell to my poor tired eyes.

anyway called springfield and got a very intelligent gun savvy woman who knew her stuff. 10 minute phone call and in the hour a fed ex RGA #(returned goods #)faxed to me and monyana my old stock purchased in late 2004 is returning to springfield and they are shipping out a BRAND NEW GREEN F/GLASS STOCK and GREEN F/GLASS HANDGUARD to match my NEW UBER BUENO FALL FASHION ENSEMBLE!

and that kiddies is why i BUY SPRINGFIELD PRODUCTS(5-now). customer service or auf deutsch "KUNDEN-DIENST!"

off the top of my head.................maybe 800 rds downrange in its life and (1) cow elk. 2nd time entire weapon discombodulated into lil pieces.

simple to check:

pull rear trigger guard down with empty unloaded rifle pointed down and action closed. remove trigger group. while out read m-14 forum about all grease and lube points. replace hammer spring with tubbs chrome silicon spring. TOP TIP

remove stock from receiver. if no budge-ment, tap on interior receiver flat surface with brass flat punch LIGHTLY! hell mine may as well have been BEDDED it was so tight from the factory.

while yer stock is in transit..............

go to fulton armory
brownells
smith ent
arrington
sadlak
midway

and order all the ZOOMY UBER GOODIES LAK ME! and stare at the mailbox and front doorstep waiting for them to arrive with A STIFFY!

Plus getting a spare to keep the fine wood stock in good shape, getting a stock from Fred's that was givin' some love by Uncle Sugars boys.(Hell it might be from the Berlin Airlift era) It comes from De-milled rifles that Clinton decided that we didn't need, HMMM I think some of our boys in the sandbox might have something to say about having a .308 rifle or two around.

I might add one of the adjustable check pieces.

ahhh freds. got my cleaning kits from him and some targets and my slings. great guy.

on all of my veapons systems i have opted for f/glass mcmillians if avail or f/glass from any mfg. reason we have such temp and humidity swings here. you couldnt keep a ZERO here if yer life depended on it. and now with having to move my safes to an alternate location, i am forced to purchase a dehumidifier. i saved all the veapons wood stocks(orig m-1 carbine) with all the cartouches, and others. i love birch and walnut.
