M14 Op Rod question

**shottist** · 01-22-2010 08:52 PM

It was pointed out to me that some M14 icon

Op Rods have a hole drilled in the forward end cap and some older ones don't. Can any one inform about what is the purpose of this hole? and, is it desirable? Thanks in advance.

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.

I have been told it was to let water out if the rifle was submerged, dont know if true but there is no plus or minus to the hole.
