New to the M14
Greetings fellow Polytech M14 people,
New to the world of the polytech M14. Picked up a used polytech M14S chambered in 308. Have fired about 150 rounds through it with no issues.
I was able to pick up, online, 500 rounds of Wolf, 150gr, ammo, thought I was getting a good deal on plinking ammo. Anyhow was at the range yesterday and one of the range guys saw that I was firing this type of ammo and advised me that sooner or later I am going to have to replace the barrel and bolt parts such as the extractor. Was not sure on this but his explaination on this was that the metal to metal contact from the bullet casing can cause issues that will expand the chamber of the barrel because I do not have a chomed? barrel.
Did some research and found out that if the weapon system is original, should be chrome lined. How do you know or not if you have the chrome lined barrel. Also what know issues are there with the poly tech M14.
Thanks,
Birk
