Since the publication of Scott Duff and John Miller's The M14 Owner's Guide and Match Conditioning Instruction, readers have asked for a book that would help guide them through the maintenance, enhancement, disassembly and assembly of their M14/M1A® rifle. Ideally, such a book would impart the tips, tricks, pitfalls and "gotchas!" that experienced M14/M1A® rifle enthusiasts and armorers have discovered and developed over the years. This is that book. It goes far beyond the military manuals in depth and scope, using words and over 600 pictures to clearly guide you through every operation required to support your M14/M1A®. You'll learn the best and easiest ways to enhance, disassemble and assemble your rifle. It won't make you an M14/M1A® armorer, but it will make you a knowledgeable owner. You'll be able to do more with (and to) your rifle. You'll also be able to better judge the competence of those you choose to work on your rifle, and to discuss your needs more intelligently with them. In short, you'll know your M14/M1A® inside and out. Also included are instructions for installing National Match rear sights, a tutorial on tuning your trigger to National Match standards, a discussion of John Garand's contributions to the M14, and several 21st Century enhancements. The M14 Complete Assembly Guide is a companion volume to The M14 Owner's Guide and Match Conditioning Instructions by Scott Duff and John Miller. The Owner's Guide gives you a look into the history and development of the M14/M1A®, as well as giving you everything you need to know to use and maintain your M14/M1A® Rifle and perform match conditioning work. The Owner's Guide goes far beyond the military manuals in both scope and depth. It's a "must have" for every M14/M1A® owner! The M14 Complete Assembly guide is 6" x 9", is Perfect bound laminated soft cover, and has 250 pages and over 600 photographs.

'Complete' is the key word!,
By 'Wild Bill' Magro (Parts Unknown) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The M14 Complete Assembly Guide (Paperback)
With the exception of two books on the subject, I currently own a copy of every M-14 related book that is commercially available today (make that three books) including a number of the military manuals and documents. Of all of them, this book is the by far and away the most comprehensive dis-assembly and re-assembly manual that is available - anywhere! It provides hints and tips about problems that the novice (and not so novice) user or 'field' stripper (field upto arsenal rebuilding) could potentially run into during the process. This is the kind of knowledge one could only (hope to) pick-up over time. This lays it all out in black and white!

5.0 out of 5 stars
Really is a "Complete" assembly guide,
This review is from: The M14 Complete Assembly Guide (Paperback)
This book shows you how to assemble and disassemble every single component of your M14 variant rifle, going into incredible detail. Every notch, every pin, and almost every add-on is photographed, and annotated step by step. Many people may never go into this much detail over their rifle (changing their barrel or receiver at home, etc.) but it's still good to know EVERY component, even if you can't break down the weapon that far.
Not as much a criticism as an observation, people looking for a lot of history, user experiences using the M14, and any other less technical informaiton will probably be dissappointed. This book is divided into two sections - Assembly and Disassembly. And that's it. On a side note, I ordered the book from Fulton Armory and I was surprised to find that it came signed by the two authors. It's already covered in grease and soot, so not much of a collector's item anymore (by its very nature, this book will get dirty!), but I thought it was a nice touch.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The M14 Complete Assembly Guide (Paperback)
If you own an M1A, this book is a must. Hundreds of pictures, and detailed description of how the M1A operates. Note that the M1A is the civilian version of the M14.
