I went to visit a gun smith friend of mine for a good extractor spring for one of my M1's. He had some nice ones so I bought two.
I also noticed he had a pair of M14 flash hiders with boyonet lugs intact and front sights. Now I have always disliked the Clintonized flash hider on my M1A so I asked him how much? He says $25.00 and I say I'll take both. When I mentioned that I was going to national match ream them in my lathe, (I figured on buying a reamer) he says, "Here, you can borrow mine and here's the M14 barrel stub I use to hold them in the lathe."
So I got them reamed and reparked and returned the reamer and stub. Not bad for $50.00! (My brother already cried dibbs on the other one.)
