H.L. wrote to alert us of the following posted by the CMP Office: “M14 KITS NOW AVAILABLE. We have acquired a large quantity of M14 parts and have assembled a few hundred Grade A kits which are now being offered for retail sale. Kit includes every semi-auto part except barrel, bolt and receiver. Metallic parts will show signs of use and may have some minor rust or pitting. Stocks may have some dents and dings and minor cracks. Stocks may be walnut, hardwood, or synthetic. Item number is PSM1AKIT. Price is $600 per kit plus $22.95 S&H per kit.” This may be your last chance to buy a parts set (sans receiver) at a half-way reasonable price. These kits include a spare operating rod and trigger group, which are important spares to keep on hand. Retreat groups that have standardized with M1A rifles (semi-auto M14s) should buy one spare parts set for every four rifles.
