M14 Wanted : buy or trade

[methusaleh]

Looking to do a face-to-face for an M14, I am willing to travel a bit in the northeast US if the deal is good. Any operable condition is fine. I have a Colt Sporter HBar with tons of accessories that could be used in a partial trade, also lots and lots of military/government/law enforcement items including commo gear, tactical gear, NBC gear, etc.

Do you really mean an M14, which is a government issue fully automatic service rifle, or the civilian version M1A manufactured by Springfield Armory in Geneseo, Illinois?

He means the M-14 that I shot in the USMC up to 1975 and now again in starting in 2009 for the middle east. It is the semi auto with 30 round mags that was/is issued You are thinking of the M-14A1 with a selector on the side for semi or auto fire. Still in NATO 7.62x 51mm.

Yes the Marines have reissued the M-14 to troops going into Afghanistan! It just hits better at long range and the wind does not effect it as much!

Well considering they are illegal and having one could get you a five year vacation at CLUB FED you might better rethink your toy list. A few got registered on the amnesty back in 60s and I expect they are bringing 25K for legal ones.

Why would they be illegal, assuming of course you cover the tax stamp/license fee of $200...excluding the Rebublik of Kalifornia of course
