so true KevinB, north of the border FN-FAL's are, ouch, where everywhere. Down here still a few good M14 armorers (and 1000's of bad ones too), and parts and mags are still available almost everywhere, well mags have gone up since some flavors of SR25's use modified versions of them. They (M14) are not everyones favorite, they are getting long in the tooth.
But I've heard the SR25's aren't standing up well, but still I'd love one, M14's take a bit of upkeep too, and I'd gotta admit the SR25 is probably a better rifle. and easyier transition for M16/AR shooters. Since the AR's are pretty much taking over at Camp Perry, that says a lot.
My armorer is old school, well based on my age so am I, he was trained by uncle sams best, so he does a nice job keeping them turned. I guess I just like walnut and iron, well nowadays kevlar and iron... I'm just a sucker for a rifle that'll put 5 shots groups into 4.5 inches at 500m with Iron sights, hehehe
different tools for different jobs
no need to start a long thread on old iron
