As usual it means there is no real answer to the question . You take your chances .

I have personally asked BATFE a couple of times about this and my answer was given as if the shop repairing the M/G was fairly local (in the same area) it did not need to be notified . What fairly local is considered is I do not know but I have the idea if an agent wants to see the gun you can go to the shop and get it .

Here is another with a drop in auto sear . http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k68/phagar/M14-E21-1.jpg

I already have an FAL but it would be nice to have another . By the way, I am only jokeing, the FAL is a great weapon .

Would you shoot a hundred rounds FA rifle for rifle ?

If the M14E2 with the SAW options is set up and deployed correctly the recoil and accuracy are very well controlled .Adjusting the sling tension so down force is applied to the Bipod by use of the fore grip along with the muzzle stabilizer I am able to easily hold a 30 round magazine within the center of a 15 inch tire at 50 meters . http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k68/phagar/M14-6.jpg My M14 is controllable on FA. I know there is some video of me somewhere but this guy shows that some skill is required to keep the M14 on target. The E2 mods really make a difference. Because of a good trigger system I can get off single shot or two round bursts fairly consistently .

One more comment . I do not claim to know much about the internet and (Sturmgewehr (the) NFA and Semi-Auto Forum) but Good luck to you and all of your endeavors . In my opinion you run one of the best sites on the web . Respectfully, Hagar - Arizona Tactical Firearms (ATF) 07/02

Thank you for the kind words . When I bought this in 01 I found it to be a real ammo waster so that needed to be changed . I liked the SpitFire because it balanced well (center pistol grip and magazine) The SpitFire Ran at about 800 rpm and that was way to fast so I used the M3A1 internals to slow it down to maybe 3 or 350 rpm . Even though the barrel was replaceable on the M3A1 it was not a good design so I used the UZI type which was the best available at the time . It is now an awesome weapon .

This is a modified SpitFire using the best features from 3 guns . SpitFire, M3A1 & UZI .

I also am an 07/02 and I have made a few post samples . If they are to hard to stamp a number on I use a pencil engraver . As long as it meets the minimum BATFE requirements 1/16" in height and .003" in depth than it is acceptable .

Sorry to say no .I have done armory work for several law enforcement agencies over the years and this was a request to develop a sear that could be used in the M1A type rifle .It took me several months to work it up and by the time I finished it they had changed administrations and dropped the idea so to my knowledge it is the only one ever produced .

Just for the sake of knowledge my gun is not a dedicated receiver .It utilizes a drop in auto sear .

And sometimes its possible to go to prone and make use of the bipod. It works especially well on the range. In combat things like brush, water, hillside ect. will not permit using the bipod. How well can you hold the burst from standing ? If you watch actual combat films on the history channel you will notice that almost no BAR man has a bipod on his rifle. Now you know why. Somewhere I have a manual on the M14E2 and if I remember correctly, it encouraged using rapid semi-auto fire in place of full auto fire. Of course I could be wrong. Jim C PS When I was issued the M14 there was no E2 stocks , only the bipod. I will agree with you about the rifle being difficult to manage if the options are not used .I was thinking more of its ability to provide accurate and controllable fire from a fixed position .In my case such as a range .With practice I have found that I can do fairly well from a standing position if using very short bursts (3-4) Rds . I know this can't be done with many M14's but I am very lucky to have an excellent trigger group .It is even possible to make single shot when in the F/A position . That is another reason I would not part with mine . Respectfully, Pat Hagar

The SpitFire subgun also uses the same guide system and it will even accept "GG" internals which is a great improvement for it as the original rate of fire is 800 RPM and way to fast .The "GG" bolt is heaver which slows down the rate of fire to about 350 RPM .Much better . http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k68/phagar/Spitfire.jpg http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k68/phagar/2006_0110ImageSF5.jpg http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k68/phagar/2006_0110ImageSF7.jpg
