Well I took the M14A to the range for the first time using the open sights...was hitting way high. I set the rear sight all the way down an still hitting about 4" high at 50 an 110yds....after figuring that out an moving one click left fired 3 rds. at 50 yds an got a 1" group, then 3 rds at 110yds...I moved on the last shot an knew it....but my first 2 were 1.5" apart. Using German 94' MEN ammo. I was waiting to shim it before hiiting the range an my ebay 9.00 castle nut wrench arrived this morning, took all 3 shims.
I picked up a Nikon 3X9 scope on the way out, an got home an mounted it up. Now this is a poor mans system, an many will say it won't work, but I gotta find out...scope was 179.00 Lifetime warranty, scope mount was 28.00 off ebay, an rings from Big R for 4.95 an of course the M14 with USGI parts was 1145.00 gunbroker......can't wait till next weekend to check out what the scope does...hopefully I can get out to some farther ranges...I'll post a pic here soon....looks bad to the bone!!!!
