LRB M-25

[nf1e]

I have been putting M14 type rifles together for over half a century. For the last couple of decades, if it's not < 1 moa, it goes back to the shop for tweaking. This is an LRB M-25 purchased as a receiver only and nailed together using mostly Winchester USGI parts. CBI 18.5" 1/10 barrel, USO 3-12 scope on TPS medium rings, Hawk's kit, LRB muzzle brake and TAC-PRO cheek riser. Whatta Hobby!

Every time I see a post by you with target results it is amazing to me. You are a true artists with wood, plastic and metal.

What a stock.

Birch can produce some interesting grain patterns.

Walnut also has some very interesting grain patterns. Whatta Hobby!

Oh, I know but if I'm not mistaken the military rejects the super nice walnut burl stocks due to loss of strength where as the birch is still strong enough. I'm speaking of burl, a lot of burl, not tiger stripes.

They're all plastic now so "no worries".

When stocks were delivered it would be hard to see any figuring in the wood. They were so covered with that awful red stain to make them look alike. Until stripping, you would not know what is under there. Granted some that have been in service for a period of time may have the stain reduced and show something, but new not so much. Whatta Hobby!

The military rejected crotch or fancy grain blanks, but fiddleback was accepted. While beautiful, crotch grain is brittle. I have a very faint SA/SHM stock with nice fiddleback.

Any worry about a stock breaking, just pick up USGI fiberglass, laminate or even a few JAE chassis and alleviate your worries. Whatta Hobby!
