I know you'll likely want to ask me a budget. I think that's about everything I can think of, but I'm sure you all know of several other things to consider so I wanted to get your feedback and recommendations. A rifle that is built right with care and respect.
Perhaps a few spare parts I'll need over the years.
Solid and reliable scope mounting solution, as I do plan to mount a scope down the road (e.g. Standard iron sights, as I plan to shoot the irons as well as use a scope Some common-sense reliability and accuracy upgrades A lightweight, traditional/military-looking stock, open to wood or perhaps USGI fiberglass with full-auto cutout filled in, and finished in subdued camo (think in honor of Randy Shughart) 2-stage trigger, the SAI Loaded-style trigger is perfectly fine to me, 4.5-5 lbs. I want to be able to take the stock off for maintenance and not worry about damaging the bedding. Solid, tight-fitting stock, but no need to bed it. Cast receiver is fine, forged is fine, whichever The emphasis is on quality and reliability. Reliable and made with quality parts that will last a lifetime, yet does not have to be period-correct or all USGI parts. I hope that makes sense and characterizes my goal with this rifle. I should emphasize that the majority of the shooting this rifle will see will be 100 yards or less, but the ability to reach further out to 200-500 yards would be nice. So translating this into the M14 world, perhaps something in the 1.5-2 MOA range would be perfect. Because of that, I typically plan out my purchase and make it happen, rather than building things up one part at a time. I am also more of a shooter than a tinkerer. I'm basically looking for a rifle that I'm passionate about that has nostalgia and soul that I can enjoy shooting at my range regularly. I'm not a precision shooter, and I likely wouldn't use this rifle for self-defense. I won’t be shooting thousands of rounds through this rifle every year. I am a hobbyist shooter, and an armed citizen. I am looking to purchase my first M14-style rifle and was hoping to get some guidance. I have read many posts on M14's/M1A's on this forum for several years and watched several of instructional videos including those by our own Tony Ben.
