[silentkilla]

is it a good gun richard? and how much do they go for now days?

[Schuetzenman]

I personally wouldn't touch it. Too custom, no spares for that funky gas piston.

[Richard Simmons]

That link is all I found and it talks about it being full auto. I don't know the one you posted is the same thing or a semiauto clone?

[silentkilla]

its semi but not a clone its just changed over

[Helen Keller]

they did this to semis and F/A to M14/M1a's and Garands.

It's all custom work for each rifle so I'd pass .




there was ANOTHER company that made these/sold conversions awhile back too . UNLESS it's a SUPER deal, I'd pass.

My M-14, bring back, had a selector and a Sionics but it sucked on FA...much better on semi and the best rifle the US issued...and may go back to. I've caried M-1 Garands, Browning AR rifles, A-6 configuration Browning light machine guns...and others, in combat and am grateful that I never had to mess with the M-16...way after my time. The M-14 is the one to have...unless you can afford an FG-42 in 7.62X51...scoped.

this fucking dude wants 4300 for this motha!!!! he's freakin crazy i can get a m1a decked out for 1200 or a springfield socom for 1800. dude done lost his mf"n mind!!:dizzy::lmao3::wtf:

[Helen Keller]

$4300 is on par if it is a Smith job.
Remember, it was $3000 just for the conversion .

[silentkilla]

it is a smith job, so helen keller your telling me its worth what he is asking?

[silentkilla]

???

How about do a little independent research?

[silentkilla]

how about you mind your own goddamn bussiness smart ass, i'd rather know from someone thats been there and done it for real not some auto biography of bull shit, so mind your own

yes, at the time these were offered most of the M1A's on the racks were higher quality than that of today and still had a $1200-1600 price tag.

and for $4300 the guys probly just breaking even.


Keep in mind like Schuetz said, the gas system on these is totally custom . If something goes wrong ANYWHERE it's gonna cost a small fortune.
I'd leave it to the hardcore collector.

Wow, he simply says to basically google search for this model and pull up info on older forums and you act like this............


Yep. You're on your own after today.

[silentkilla]

thank you for the info. all i wanted to know is good information, did'nt mean to affend, i've seen how some of these guys act on here, did'nt mean to go on the offensive

[FunkyPertwee]

I only meant that you should determine for yourself what you like and don't like.

His rifle may have worked great for him, but may be something other than what your looking for.

[silentkilla]

i've done a little research on the m-14 and i have the ak's and a.r's just looking for something american made but trustworthy as an ak, know what i mean

If you can put up with the cost and the weight, then go for it.

I've been drooling over a M-14 style M-1a ever since I watched Full Metal Jacket as a kid.

it will be a little while now, kinda dipped into my savings on that mak90, but when i get the money up again i think i'm going to invest in a springfield socom. they look like there badass and have pretty fair reviews:piggy-bank:
