Captain,
Please tell us about the M14s you got for Christmas? I had three M14s and would like to chat. Adam

Not a lot to say. Its technically "not" an M14s.
Its a Norinco M305. Clone of the M14s. Semi auto. Although its stamped Socom 18.   Optics are an Aimpoint PRO  500 rounds of non corrosive 7.62x51mm

Captain,
Nice looking rifle. Who made the 7.62X51MM ammo? I see you have the web sling installed upside down. Is that a Canadian thing? LOL! My three M14s were U.S. National Match rifles issued to me when I was on the New Hampshire High Power Rifle Team and I took them to Camp Perry, Ohio. Adam

The ammo is also made by Norinco.
I know the sling is "upside" down, but the stupid adjustment buckle really dug into my shoulder and was very uncomfortable...so I turned it around....now its comfortable but people question my ability to put a square peg in a round hole LOL!!! I got flack for installing the scope mount for my Ruger 10/22 backwards too!!! I put stuff the way it works for me, not necessarily how it was designed!!! LOL I will probably get a nicer sling than that one anyway eventually....

My ammo supplier went and put the Norc 7.62 ammo on sale....So the guy I shared the original crate I bought went and ordered 2 more crates! I offered to split costs on one of those crates. Knowing this ammo supply will dry up and the next bunch might be years away and very expensive he doesn't want to sell any of it....so I ordered another crate for myself
1500 rounds should last me a while LOL

Has that M14 got the roller bearing on the rf of the bolt? I had to keep Lubriplate on the ones I was issued to keep them from stripping off! Still, I loved mine!

Quick range report on Le M305.
It functioned absolutely flawlessly!! I am very very pleased that I decided to take the plunge and purchase this rifle. I love it!! The trigger is fairly heavy as I expected, but crisp and true with no creep. Accuracy was at least as good as I expected as well. Groups about 2" with my poor eyesight. After a bit of playing and getting it zeroed at 100 yards I had Davemachine spot me while I took on the 400 yard manhole cover. I can barely see it at that range!! Once I was able to get my POI down with Daves help, I hit it 4 shots in a row. ZERO malfunctions, both magazines(NOT CLIPS)help good and fed properly. All in all, one of my favorite rifles I have ever owned!! Cannot wait to go shoot it some more!! I also picked up a M14 service pack made by W.C. Wolff. Has all the springs. As it sits that rifle has no firing issues, so I am not going to change any springs out yet....I am going to mount the Aimpoint tonight and see how it feels, then see from that if I am going to need a cheek riser, and if so I can start looking to see what I can find or make.

Installed the CASM. Was really easy to install with their directions and the Youtube video. And seems very solid.
 installed the PRO, then took it off and REMOVED the spacer....was WAY too high!!! Still will need a cheek riser....

Tac Pro cheek riser installed and out to the range I went. I love this optic for ranges out to 200 yards....past that I need a pretty big and bright target or I just cant see it.
The Aimpoint PRO has a QD base....so I may at some point purchase a scope for this rifle and also install QD bases. My 2nd option is a Scout handguard and a magnifier for the PRO... I am so happy with this purchase, it is really fun to shoot and making the gong ring out at 400 yards isn't too much work
