Thanks. I'll give them a shot. I may do batches every few months to perhaps keep the pricing down. Tony.

Hello. Customers frequently ask me to do nitriding, but I have industry professionals cautioning me against it. I am trying to offer my customers DLC for their stainless barrels. Can any of you recommend a good source for DLC services? Thanks, Tony.

Because it has a soul, and it screams 'MERICA!

22" heavy M14 barrel, 5R 1:11" twist. Frank did a limited run and I picked one up. It's unclear if they will ever do another run. They only made some because the guys that work there needed barrels for their M1A's. Hand times around 35˚ on a new LRB receiver. Unfortunately, this will...

Try 130 grain hollow points. 1:10" twist is necessary for shorter barrels. I would also try a faster burning powder like IMR-3031. Tony.

Nice to see you here Glenn, and Brian! I recommend: -LRB M25 rear lugged receiver with 20 MOA rail -Kreiger, Bartlein, or Lothar-Walther 22" heavy barrel with a 1:10" or 1:11" twist -GI trigger group with a Shooting Sight EBR trigger -McMillan M3A stock, bedded with rear pillar and screw with...

Yes, 5R's seem to have been the king of velocity gains. I've got a Savage 22" Benchmark 5R that I'm going to run it with next trip out. It will be interesting to see how it does. Tony.

Thanks for the kind words, my friend! I'm still enjoying that ammo you gifted me! I actually told LW to send me an AR barrel as I'm sitting on all kids of 223 to test it with! :cool: Really?! I meant for that portion to be fast forwarded and slow down just as I got off the golf cart. My...

Some guy went through great lengths to post M14 care and maintenance videos. You might give them a look. https://rumble.com/c/c-398725 Tony.

LW sent me a test barrel. It's the first US made LW M14 barrel to come out of their US facility. The CEO of LW gave me authorization to mention their new rifling that, as far as I know, is the first time the public will have heard of ICR rifling, boasting faster velocities compared to other...

Got mine yesterday. Both brand new barrels, unfired. Tony.

In the M14 world, I consider the JAE to be best for accuracy and long range. I own two JAE-100 G3's and I use one of them to test customer actions. I also own two other aluminum M14 chassis systems and the JAE is the easiest to install and tune on an otherwise fussy platform. Tony.

So with the tragic news of JAE closing shop, I charged up my credit card and bought the last JAE-700 long action at Third Generation Shooter's Supply. I originally was going to build a 6.5 Creedmoor, but the short action stocks were in the $2,300 rage while I got the long action stock for $1,700...

People on the M14 forum received notices after they shut down their business that their stocks were shipping. One person received his on Friday and another received his shipment notification on Friday. I encourage you guys to give JAE the benefit of the doubt here. They are great people. Lisa...

Very sad news. I own two 100-G3’s and just ordered the last 700 long action Gene Sears had in stock today. Now I have to build that 700 I’ve been holding off on for years. Anyone have a recommendation on action and cartridge? Their 100 chassis does wonders for a properly built M14. I’ve held...

As to the original post... If you decide to go the M1A/M14 route, it may be very accurate right out of the box. It's very easy to maintain and clean once you've been shown how to do it properly. There are some good cheap things you can do to improve accuracy and there are some very thorough...

For those who say the M14 is outdated and can't stand up against the AR10, here's a quote from another board where we were discussing M14 chamberings. Someone decided to start an AR vs M14 debate and this is one of the facts that came out… Tony.

Thank you! Priceless information! Tony.

Is there a thread that tells step-by-step how to pillar bed a Remington 700 (from the 1960's) into a stock? I remember seeing one on here years ago, but I can't find it. I had it bookmarked, but it's gone. I bedded my Savage years ago and it came out really nice, but I've never done a 700. I...

I am a little more picky about release agent. I Bed M14 clones. I had some Brownell's TFE stick once and I had to chisel the bedding off my receiver. After that, I never questioned Gus Fisher who told me to use Valspar 225 mold release (now called Lilly-Ram 225). It's super thin and my receivers...
