vii, [1], 180 pages. Illustrations. Small scuff marks to cover & spine. Signed by both editors, Scott A. Duff and by John M. Miller with the sentiment Good Shootin'--RARE. Book includes Acknowledgments, Table of Contents, and Foreword. Chapters include Introduction and History; Standard Nomenclature of Components; Selecting the Rifle; Operation and Functioning; Disassembly and Assembly; Stoppages and Malfunctions; Cleaning, Lubricating, and Maintenance; Zeroing the Rifle; Inspection, Tips and Tricks; and Match Conditioning Instructions. Appendix includes information on Gunsmiths; Parts, Accessories and Tool Dealers; Book Dealers; and M14 Rifle Related Books. The M14/MIA has dominated service rifle competition for over 30 years. Before the 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. A comprehensive appendix provides readers with names, addresses, and telephone numbers of reputable gunsmiths and suppliers of parts, accessories, and books. Begins with a brief history; includes photos of the major variations. Explains and illustrates parts nomenclature; shows you how to choose a good used M14/M1A. Cutaways and text explain how the gun works and how to disassemble/reassemble it correctly. CWO John Miller's Match Conditioning instructions shows all the tricks military armorers use to get the most out of the M14, including extremely detailed instructions on glass-bedding. Drawings & photos illustrate key points. Scott A. Duff's interest in firearms and their history began in the late 1950s as a result of hours spent leafing through his father's Guidebook for Marines and watching John Wayne in "The Sands of Iwo Jima" too many times. A series of visits to the Springfield Armory National Historic Site Museum in the early 1980s helped center his firearms interest on U.S. Martial Arms. Participation in DCM (the forerunner of the CMP) service rifle competition and charter membership in the Garand Collectors Association further focused his interest on the M1 Garand. He received his first M1, a Winchester, from the DCM in 1985. His questions concerning the history and production of the M1 rifle found few answers. Thus, he began a ten-year research effort resulting in publication of The M1 Garand: World War II. In addition to authoring and co-authoring nine books, Mr. Duff has published a total of 23 books written by a number of authors on a wide variety of firearms topics. In 1994 he co-authored and published Arms For The Nation,the commemorative history of Springfield Armory for its bicentennial. He has written over 200 articles for various publications including American Rifleman, Guns & Ammo, Garand Collectors Association Journal, Garand Stand Report, Garand Times, and many others. Scott Duff has also contributed to numerous authors' books. CWO John M. Miller is a graduate of the Aberdeen Proving Ground Small Arms Repair School and serviced the M14 while serving two tours in the Republic of Vietnam in the mid-1960's. David C. Clark is a noted firearms author and editor.…
