    M14 manufactorer?

    I own a M14icon serialnumber 63026711. The gun is in exellent condition, exept stripped fullautoparts* but it has no manufactorer-stampings at all and also that serialnumber is odd.
    Only text found besides rearsight is M14 and serialnumber.

    *Full Auto Connector Arm Assembly, Sear Release, Selector Shaft, Selector Switch, Spring & Pin

    Any idea of the manufactorer?

    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 ...

    I don't expect so. The marking looks like Norinco. The stock looks like their offering too. They made so much stuff and so varied, I'd still bet a dollar it's Norinco.

    The only thing I recognize is the windage knob, Wilco Electric Co. (WCE).

    Be as it may. All Norinco M14icon`s that I`ve seen here in Finlandicon have had Norinco stampings and also that capability to have full-auto (parts missing) is unique to other Norincos.
