r/M1A

Has anyone had issues with M1A Springfield magazines in a Fulton Armory MK14? Bought a few thinking it would be a safe option and ended up having to sand down the rear tab to get them to fit and lock in place?

I got some Washington state compliant ten round magazines to supplement the three that came with my rifle decades ago because stuff wears out, but they didn’t fit right. (Wouldn’t seat in) turns out they needed the raised square that the latch clicks onto to be a bit smaller, I looked on line and some seemed to say file the top, but I found you should definitely file the bottom. Just got a bastard file and took off a little from the bottom. So if you find your new mail order magazines don’t fit, easy fix.

I've been shooting my rifle fine for months. But after my last range trip, I noticed my shots were landing wayyyyyyy to the right l. Like 12 mils right.

I've never dropped it, I carry it in a pelican 1750 between the safe and range.

But now I notice the scope isn't pointing straight.

It doesn't look like anything changed with the mount. But obviously something happened.

Any ideas on how to fix? The mount was installed by Fulton armory.

Update:

Got my sadlak mount on the gun today. Decided to remove the 3 rear most slots on the EBR chassis instead of cutting the mount. Was going to use the Bridgeport and make it a 5 minute job but decided to bust out the file set and do the work by hand. Couldn’t be happier and it all JUST fits. Thanks everyone from the other day for your advice and recommendations!

Wanted to keep the iconic M1-series rifle silhouette while adding some modern comforts to the chassis. I kinda like to think of it as the ugly cousin stuck halfway between an EBR and a stock M14.

Personally, I love it and have been having a blast ripping rounds through it.

The grip tape ISN'T an addiction -- I promise I can stop any time I want, I just don't want to...

Purchased this rifle used. I only have one magazine for it right now. But when I took it out shooting, I ran about 40 rounds through it and it shot and fed amazing. Inserting the magazine is no issue but removing it is a pain I don’t know if the magazine has swelled up and it’s too big for the Magwell or if the issue is the magwell itself. I have a synthetic stock and a walnut stock for it. The synthetic stock. It is very difficult to remove the magazine. The walnut stock it is slightly easier to remove the magazine.

I have a socom 16 in an EBR chassis and I snagged a sadlak airborne steel scope mount. For them to jive together I have to remove the first three notch’s at the rear of the chassis top cover. Experienced machinist so that a non issue, BUT, is that the route I should go or is there a better scope mounting option to go with the EBR chassis?

I lit the moneys on fire and sold a kidney to put all this together all for it to only be at best 3 MOA. I kinda knew going into to it but I was hoping for a little bit better than that.

Suggestions?

The CASM GEN 2 scope mount from M14.ca Almost 0 weight gain after removing the iron sights. Adjustable for cant. 7075 aluminum offers excellent tensile strength with a 4-point retention system.
