I don't think this rifle was ever actually used after testing or in civilian hands. There was a later variant of the standard M14 that took the place of this rifle noted as the M14E2.
Good Summary on the M14 is located here:

I have been down this road with the 11-87. The light contour barrel is not made for the heavier "hunting" loads. The gas ports in the bottom of the barrel let too much gas pass back to work the action. It will fire, but be hard on the action. The slug/deer barrels have smaller ports to work...
I can remember that in the late 80s the Marion County police used to have an annual auction to reduce the backlog of guns that had been confiscated after the legal proceedings were complete. All you needed was your carry permit to bid. About 70% was cheap and broken junk, some was in pretty...
I would take a very close look at the bike. The ads comment "Complete Bodyworks set" is usually a sign that the bike has been down. It's a $3500 bike in mint condition. Handling on the TLs is not bad, but they are a little porky in the weight section. The seating position is not too severe...
Give them a call and explain the situation. I purchased a used model 92 that had poor accuracy, sent it in and it came back with a new barrel and the inside of the action was spotless. They stand behind there products much better than others.
I guess I would look at the piece you found and determine if it is steel from the pistol, or a shaving of brass or lead from a round that maybe hung a little as it was being loaded. I have an older 22 that I occasionally find very small pieces of lead that have been shaved off when the slide...
So long as you are keeping your options open take a look at the IOR Valdada line of scopes. I have an older 6X fixed model that has great clarity and it it built like a tank. If you shop around you can get the scopes for quite a bit off of the MSRP. Good luck in the search.

Where is your gas adjustment nut currently set? It sounds as if it is slightly short stroking, which could be rectified by a click or two on the gas adjustment nut right behind your front site. A little more gas pressure will push the bolt back faster and it will return with more force.
You are correct. You can legally ship the rifle to another person in the state. If the rifle is in your C&R record you would need to record the information in your log. If it is not in your C&R book, then there is no recording required for the transaction. It would be safe do ask for a...
Well if you are local to central Indiana, the Gander Mountain in Castleon had an older model 320 in the used section a couple of months ago. You could call them to see if it is still there. Another option is finding a local FFL and going through gunbroker.com. I have had pretty good results...
Where in the state are you located? If in Central Indiana I would contact the Indiana Gun Club 317-485-6540. They have a pretty good selection of new and used shotguns.
As a side note, what were you asking for the 87T?
Nice easy transaciton. We got delayed because of the weather earlier in the week. Dropped the Mauser off to him right in front of his office.
I was like the Domino's Gun Delivery guy.

Turkish M38 Mauser Scout Project (8mm) that needs completed (Barrel is 17"). Started with a damaged muzzle so it was chopped. Add a scope mount or front sight for a great little range cannon. Missing the bolt stop.

Will sell face to face in NE Indianapolis, Indiana...
I have a CVA Hawken style rifle that I purchased used and never shot, so I go to the store to purchase the basic supplies. I did some initial research online and the entire process seems pretty straight forward except for the type of cap. I saw four different types of caps - 209, #10, #11 and...
It's funny but my old mark II still gets taken to the range as much as anything I own. It has seen thousands of rounds and still produced very good groups after 20 years. Last summer I noticed that the blue finish was completely gone on the front and back strap. So off to the store I went in...
Check out the FAL files, there's a ton of great infromation. The sight helped with my FAL build a couple of years ago

Entreprise is also still making FALs, but as mentioned above, I would look at the DSAs first.

Here's a nice copy of the German...
