Per the 23 Aug. Newsletter, CMP is now selling M14 parts kits, everything excluding the barrel, bolt, and action at their e-store.

This is a new listing and hasn't been posted on the E-store as of this writing, check tomorrow or the next day.

Price is $600 per kit plus $22.95 S&H per kit. These are USGI parts.

Just for your info.

Dude is a slur bro, it means noobie or non experianced. Unless it's the brand new M1A owners you are talking too

Trigger (used) = $150
Op-rod (used) = $150 and generous at that.
GI sights (used) = $50
GI gas system (used) = $75
small parts (castle nut, flash suppressor, clip guide, spring guide, various pins, etc) = $75

Is there a stock? A handguard? Metal hardware for the stock?

Without the bolt, it seems a weak deal to me. With the bolt, it seems a good value at $600. I bet they're withholding the bolt out of fear of mis-matched headspace settings when installed in any old rifle.

NO bolt, and a disclaimer that parts may be well worn and rusty. For 600 clams I'll pass. A GI op-rod would be nice as would a GS and FS but not at that price and possible quality.

Op rods... why buy used GI when you can have brand new for $180.00 ??

SEI op rods are made from 1 piece forging and they are a Government contract Item.
