The M14/M1ATM has dominated service rifle competition for over 30 years. Prior to publication of this book, no single document existed which described in detail selecting a rifle, operation, troubleshooting, disassembly/assembly, inspection, maintenance, cleaning, and zeroing the M14.
The M14 Owner's Guide also traces the history and development from the T44 through adoption and production of the M14 rifle. Evolution of the sniper rifle variations are chronicled. History of the military National Match rifle and the introduction and manufacture of the civilian M14/M1ATM rifles are described.
The Match Conditioning Instructions guide the reader through the activities required to convert the M14/M1ATM into a first-class target rifle. Numerous drawings and photographs aid in completion of this procedure.
A comprehensive appendix provides the reader with names, addresses, and phone numbers of reputable gunsmiths and suppliers of parts, tools, accessories and books.
The book is authored by recognized M1 authority Scott A. Duff and MTU armorer CWO John M. Miller. Nationally recognized military armorers, gunsmiths, manufacturers, suppliers and service rifle competitors assisted in preparation of this book.
