    Help please, Expert M1A Armorer needed

    I am in need of a 1st Class M14 Armorer to tend to my M1Aicon Super Match. I would like to have it "tuned up", new Trigger Group installed and bedded, and possibly a complete Action re-bed along with some other minor metal work. I am located in central Florida but will travel about 100 miles, (Jax, Tampa/St Pete, whatever) to have a FTF meeting with such an Armorer. Failing a "local" Armorer, who else would you recommend nationally? Thanks to all for your help.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    "Hook" Boutin lives in central west Georgia. One of the all time great M1 and M14icon builders.

    Shottist,

    Being in Central Florida, you have a premier M1/M14icon armorer in your proverbial back yard: Bruce Dow.

    Bruce is located in Dade City, on US 301. He's definitely not the cheapest around, but his work is unbelievable. I highly recommend him. His shop is open Wed-Sat, and everyone who works there is awesome!
