I have a springfield loaded version, and have changed the nm guide rod, shimmed the gas cylinder,and gas piston. The accuracy I have been getting is .75-1.25moa all the time.
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: CubeWarrior</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Have an LRB as a basis of an XM21 build (with SAK NM barrel)-- built to NM standards by Charles Maloney. The rifle will easily do MOA despite my poor driving.
Recommendation: Find a reputable smith who knows M14s (in fact specializing in them or Garands).
SEI is going to be a future build--fantastic rifles.</div></div>
A reputable smith = Clint Fowler, he built my last SA M14 style weapon and it shoots GREAT!
I enjoy my M14 clones for what they are. And what they are designed for.
