It’s been a while since I went to the Big Reno Gun Show. This time I went looking for a M14. I found this new in box at a negotiated price of $675.
Recently I purchased a used 14-5 LNIB (posted here a while ago), however I didn’t discover, until I was home and was cleaning, that the locking bolt was seriously altered. After replacing the locking bolt, the ranging rod kissed the front of the cylinder. I sent it to S&W and they replaced it (plus $150) with a new 586, which I promptly sold as I have several and wanted a M14.
I’m quite happy with the first range trip.
