It's about that time again, and I am getting itchy hands....
So, I am thinking about building on of those classic battle rifles, the M14/M1A, with a twist of my own. I have always loved the lines, looks, and feel of these rifles. They speak to me in ways that the AR just doesn't, though that is also a fine rifle.
Currently I am just beginning the research stage of things, so any knowledgeable, helpful comments or suggestions would be appreciated, and I will update this as I go along of course.
If things go as I think, I am looking at making this one of my 'go-to' rifles (along with my AR) and my primary grab-n-go, so I am looking for reliability, ruggedness, durability, simplicity, etc. This will be a rifle for field use, not CQB.
