I have theIWC mount and I'm thinking it would require quite a hard hit to get it to rotate as you're suggesting. I have not seen this issue brought up on the forum but I'm relatively new.

?

I went with the mesa urbino w cheek riser and limbsaver pad. No need to change the recoil tube. Don't over tighten the bolt that attaches the stock to the end of the recoil tube. My 1014 came with the non-collapsing "skeleton stock" which I am hanging on to for eventual swap of the recoil tube.

That's cool. I would be in.

Milspec, I'm wondening if the marks might come off with washing w soap and wipe down w light rem oil on a rag (or dare I say amorall)? I am expecting my foregrips back soon, hopefully no issues like this.

I guess it will be appropriate to have a USA mark for 922r considerations......

Looks very cool!

Talc also works well on rubberized components that may become sticky as they age. In my case, radio knobs on the old porsche.

Just read this. Dang funny

Smoking deal!

looks great!

Just sent my foregrip to Tango today.

Milspec, I have a Mesa Ubino PG fixed stock on my 1014. Length of pull is perfect and it has a cheek riser I dialed in for my optic. Recently switched to the limbsaver pad.The shape of the Urbino PG is different than the stock grip. No complaints.

I purchased my 1014 at Sporstmans. Not my first experience buying a firearm from them. They worked with me on the price (this was well before covid-19). Great experience.

Field stock.

excellent build you have there!

Yeah, that turned out really nice!

Since the gun will see regular use, I'd suggest taping off the area around the "gap" in the camo pattern (leaving only the gap exposed) and apply a quick shot of spray paint. I've seen camo colors w flat sheen at the hardware store. Or brush on some model paint from the hobby store. Blend some paints to match the straw color?? Better yet if you know someone who has an airbrush, I bet they would be glad to help you in trade for your appreciation of their craft and a beer or two.....

DEDC, What brand are those fixed blades?

Yeah, I had similar experience w Wheeler kit punches recently so this thread is timely.

Hey Fellas, It's Friday before a long weekend, so I suspect the forum will have a lot of visits...... I have a M1014 and thinking about having the bbl threaded for choke after seeing a couple posts by SD about service offered by Rose Action Sports. Note, when I purchased my M1014, it was advertised as M4 and I had no idea of the difference at the time. I have only a couple hundred rounds fired but it has happily consumed the various loads from light target to buck to slugs without a single hiccup - so why bother? Questions: For you M4 owners, do you change the choke or just run what the gun came with? If you do change it, what's your favorite and why (dedicating the M4 for a specific range distance/load? Setting up the M4 for competition? ...etc)? For you M1014 owners who have threaded your bbl, what's your go-to choke and why? Keeping it stock, should I avoid any particular load ....3" mag slug for example? Any and all comments/suggestions are appreciated. Happy Labor Day weekend!

Thanks for your update, SD!

Very cool!

Looks like you scored a very nice M3
