I'm going to need to paint the magazines now. Green sounds good.
Hi Duke,
Nice work! The brass ferrels are a nice touch! I have a Polytech that was put together by Clint McKee at Fulton Armory. It has all GI parts, the only thing left on it Chi-Com is the forged receiver! I took a GI fiberglass stock and lengthened the stock as I am tall and put on a shotgun trap butt pad that feels really good on a rifle and helps with recoil.
I think I will not put a scope on it as it is just a battle rifle with battle rifle accuraccy but will go bang everytime you pull the trigger!
“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace.
We ask not your counsels or arms.
Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you.
May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.” -Samuel Adams
Janet Reno, killed more children at Waco, with Bill Clinton's permission, than Adam Lanza killed, at Sandy Hook.
That's the nicest recoil pad job I have ever seen. Mine should be shorter by an 1-1/2" to accommodate plate carriers with SAPI's.
Sweet set up Duke!!

nice set up
Duke,
Very nicely done! You stated that you were wanting to paint the magazines green, but to me they look better the way they are because they match the rest of the metal work. That's just me though.

Come on now.....those are sooooo......like last century..........
Where's the pistol grip? The front grip with the cutsie pop out bipod? Where's the accessory rails top and bottom and both sides? Where's the accessories? Where's the 45 degree red dot sit for shooting sideways? Where's the adjustable for length 6 position butt stock? And look at that humongous long barrel.....where's the 16" one? How are you supposed to lug that heavy thing around....where's the aluminum and sheet metal? And wood! Who the heck uses wood anymore?
But yah know what? I love 'em.....nicely done

Those rifles are simply gorgeous. The grain on the one in post #3 is to die for.
Loved the rifle, packing it around, not so much. Never even saw an M-16 while I was in, they all went to Nam and the reputation there wasn't the best at the time. Lots of the guys wanted there 14s back.Duke

My long time shooting buddy stocked one in curly maple and then proceeded to make Distinguished with it back in 93'. He said it always got comments at check-in.

Very nice. Great job. I've always been partial to the "14".
Duke, where did the cheek piece come from?
It came in on a trade with some parts.
Makes them more rust resistant.
