Fellowz Posted May 25, 2008 Report Share Posted May 25, 2008 ohh thought you needed to buy a replacment part. how do i go about taking it off to file down? im way too scared to take appart my M14, looks soo confusing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tom lawson Posted May 25, 2008 Report Share Posted May 25, 2008 (edited) Fellowz, Do you see the small metal rod at the back of your bolt release catch? Poke that out with something.. Keep the rod and the bolt release catch when it comes off, and don't lose the spring.. File off the little metal post next to the spring on the bolt release catch, and you have done it! Put the bolt catch back in place, make sure the spring is in its little hole, press the catch down and slide the rod back throught the holes it came out of, and hey presto! I can post pics of mine later this morning if you like.. Edited May 25, 2008 by tom lawson Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IronWolf Posted May 25, 2008 Report Share Posted May 25, 2008 Does anyone remember the first mass production airsoft M14? It was from Airsoftclub, had a plastic wood style stock and a metal receiver/barrel. Just full auto, a bad magazine release and terrible hop up and internals. But on photos it looked great That brings me back, didn't ASC go out of business soon after its release? I remember there we're a lot of unhappy customers between their M14 and their L85A1. Looking forward to your next video review btw Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I got a used and broken KTW L96 from then, which they sold as "brand new". And rumors say that most people who pre-ordered the M14 never got it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LORD_SEX Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 Just painted my "Gold" EBR tonight Hope you like it! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BoE.Solidius Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 Lord Sex I love it. I count the days when I am able to go on my Airsoft splurge and get the AEGs I have been wanting for a long time, M14 EBR and or SOPMOD being one of them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Victory Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 I can't believe you painted over the gold/tan color of the kit, though... If the paintjob wasn't as amazing as it is, I'd throw a fit. -Vic Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Carter Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 I know this has been asked before, but what defines an M21 as an M21? I see SOCOM length and normal length (which is referred to as "match", yes?) and everyone calls it a M21. So if anyone can explain to me the definition I would forever be in your debt (and if it involves ballistics, please PM me, I don't want anything locked). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Carter Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 Ha, right. I forgot to mention that part. Any other differences than a different trigger group? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Badly Browned Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 (edited) AFAIK, the M21 is basically a regular M14 sporting Match Grade barrels among other things to "accurize" (that a word? lol) it for sniping duties. Edited May 29, 2008 by Badly Browned Quote Link to post Share on other sites
evansy Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 M21's are semi auto AFAIK Arnt all M14's semi only (RS that is). They were originally FA but had too much recoil so they were made SA only iirc. I think the E2 was FA which is why it had a pistol grip and foregrip to try and make it more managable on FA Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gunnermaniac Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 Just bought a cyma m14 socom, 2 cyma m14 mags and a cyma m14 ras. Soon to be with the m14 brotherhood Will post pics when it arrives. (from RSOV) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think the E2 was FA which is why it had a pistol grip and foregrip to try and make it more managable on FA Yes and no. M14's were designed to be select fire. Real USGI M14s are VERY hard to get in North America, even in Class3 States. I've seen receivers that were made so it can never be made select fire...the receiver has a pin hole in the back where the selector fits into; this is usually missing on M1A's. I'm using an ARMSCORP receiver, and the pin is there and can be made to fire full auto (I can try and post pics of my receiver if anyone cares). All USGI M14 receiver HAVE the pin hole for the selector, but it was filled with a selector lock either bolted or permanently welded onto it. A match grade M14 with a scope on it, is a match grade M14 with a scope on it...not technically an M21. The M21 is based off of the M14NM...the only physical differences are the Artel scope, Artel scope mount, hooded rear sight, NM front sight, and the selector lock (all parts should have matching serial numbers). Otherwise, it looks very similar to an M14 with a scope on it. This is my replica of a modern USGI M21: I've been working on the correct scope mount for years...hopefully I'll get it done by the end of the summer. From my understanding the M21 is already being phased out (I know I have issues with maintaining my M1A...the way its bedded, I can't field strip it for maintenance without the help of an experienced gunsmith. I literally cannot take it apart and put it back together without help. I couldn't even mount the scope properly without help). I think the Marines are now using the M39-EMR to replace the M14-DMR. Finally, I'm sorry I posted this photo a zillion times already, but I love this rifle a lot. M14E2 (basically E2 stock set, E2 sling set, USGI M2-Bipod, and Fulton E2 Stabilizer) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ceriph Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 Let me start by saying that that is a Beautiful M14 BaBa, you have good reason to to be proud of it. I just wrapped my TM SCO 16 to server for a Spotters rifle for our team Snipers. Don't really have anything more to do so i figured id put up a pic and see if i could get some feedback. So what do you all think. Fire away Quote Link to post Share on other sites
masakarijoe Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 what is that small circular patch of missing wood above the trigger on the side of some M14s for? always wanted to know... but wow LS, nice EBR. seen army units with that config... -Joe Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BaBaBooey Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 what is that small circular patch of missing wood above the trigger on the side of some M14s for? Hi Joe. It's for the screw that holds the stock liner. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
masakarijoe Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 so why do only some m14s have it? -Joe Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BaBaBooey Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 so why do only some m14s have it? -Joe Stocks that are not wooden do not need a stock liner (the theory was that the metal liner makes the wooden stock stronger). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The scout mount has always seemed just a little bit too far for the looks of things, but what you did would help. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
