well, i finally got her. after $617.06 and 103 days of waiting, she's finally in my hands. when i got it, Nasty Nate over at US customs had torn it apart defending our country from firearms and he failed to put it back together again. Took me 11 hours to put it back together and functioning. I'll be writing up a review within the next few days. crappy pic yes thats duct tape on the handle, Nasty Nate brok that too

Nice looking gun ken. Glad to see you finally got the gun of your dreams. Looks like the long wait was worth it after seeing a beautiful gun like that ;D

Definitely cool, though it's a shame to hear the trials and tribulations you had to endure whilst getting it

as i am sure you know there is a huge tread on the M-14 on ASP, they talked about fixing the feeding problems, but you probally know that
still looks great, love the duck tape, no joke

well gents, it doesn't look like she'll be working for a while. i'm gonna have to send her to a repair shop that knows what they're doing. i'm starting a "Save the M14 Fund". your all welcome to donate, PM me and i'll give you the details...

Testticool, what would you compare the gun to, size-wise? Is it like an M-16?

WTF? They took your gun apart? I've never heard of customs doing that before. They left my CA870 cocked though, and I blame that for its below-par performance. I feel your pain.
