A link and a photo - I'm going to need a little more context here. I'm assuming you've come completely out of the closet in favor of FDE?

 

[atilla]

meh.

want to tickle my fancy with an M1A? keep it clean. otherwise do this and my pants tighten:

 

[chris_1001]

Yes, I had a hard time admitting it. It just took the right one... While I still like wood and black guns, I'd be curious to get my hands on that.

 

[robjax]

That is a nice rifle. MSRP $2,021.00

 

[Minuteman Armament]

I wonder if that's JAE chassis or if they made a copy.

Could explain why JAE takes a decade to complete your order.

 

[MAD Geary]

I believe it's the promag archangel stock

[Pinion]

It is. I just received one for mine in the mail this week.

 

[jkelly1229]

It looks like they slapped an archangel Mosin kit on a wood m1. Pass for 2 gs

 

[Varmint]

2 grand seems like a lot for a wooden club.

 

[Pinion]

If you like it, just get a used M1A and buy the stock from Archangel. Its much less expensive.

 

[stacarter]

It is a copy of the JAE. A really good copy and lighter because it is polymer vs the aluminum chassis of the JAE. Looks good.

I like the old school look on my M14s.



The Arcangel stock gets decent reviews from the M14 community for a cheaper alternative to the JAE.

What _exactly_ are we seeing in this pic?

What _exactly_ are we seeing in this pic?

An M14 type rifle in a SAGE Intl. chassis. Mod 0 I believe.

Ah, SAGE. Not cheap.

What's .308, .50 cents a shot now? Have fun with that.

I might get another .308... but reloading will be mandatory. All the cheap ammo is gone.

the beauty of the male form. masculinity incarnate.

Always loved the look of the Sage, but I live in a sh*thole of a state for the time being.

I've been looking into the Blackfeather stock as an alternative for awhile, just need to swap out one evil extra killy feature for another(and at 2.8lbs it's a bit fat guy friendlier and not nearly as bulky as the Sage's 5.1lbs[yeah yeah I can see it already, "get to the gym ya fat f**k"] and roughly the same price depending where you get the Sage).

Agcomposites has a few offerings in carbon fiber as well.

I remember m14forum getting all jazzed over the stock when Dave announced his intentions there in late 2013. BTW, looks like Vltor jumped into the game also taking over for McCann Industries last summer.

Up around $1/per for the match grade stuff... I cant find any cheap shit for my Rem700 right now...

Gotta get a reloader! You can have all the ammo you want (to make)!

Serious question. About where is the break even point after investing in all the equipment?

 

[Jonny5]

Serious question. About where is the break even point after investing in all the equipment?

Figure anywhere from 500-600 for reloading gear. cost of .308 around $0.50 cents per reload vs $1.00 per factory ammo and you're looking at 1000-1200 rounds before break even.

If you factor in other calibers than you're facing minimal additional gear costs (dies, shell plates, etc) so for another ~$75 you can start .223/9m/45acp/etc

Your margin on 9mm/.223 will be smaller however so the payoff takes longer. While you can save 50% off retail costs with .308 you probably only save 25-35% on 9mm/223.

Mk14 master race!

For that money, build a sage. Springfield's quality has been shit lately.

 

[Sweeney]

Did a little more messing around with mine this am. Added the 'dummy' selector and rod, the forward grip and sling and did some trigger work. Everything is open for change but for now, outside of a few NM type tweaks to the ferrule and clearancing the hand guard a bit it's good.
Sort of a 'retro-mod' I suppose... a little new, a little old...

the composite stocks look pretty, but I gotta admit the wood stock just looks so damn sexy I would have to go that route if I were in the market for an M1A.
