M14 project underway :D (56k beware)
Well I caught a lucky break here: I got an amazing deal on a AGM M14 package from AXe Hound, and between the spare parts I already had and the parts that came in the package the weapon already looks somewhat like what I want her to become.
A few upgrades here and there and this baby will be on the field as my new DMR: Presenting my M14 Marksman Rifle: (Once again with tactical Kitty~!) and right next to my other super-sniper rifle! ;D more to come! (P.S. if anyone is wondering about the crack in the scope cover, It took a direct hit during Boder War 1. The scope works fine.)

Yeah get rid of that ugly and noobish scope & scope ring and get a M1 with propper scope rings, mounting plate and it would look like M25 ish...

the side-mounted tactical cat is nice, especially with that tiger camo paintjob.
I think the antenna is bent at the top...

About the scope:
1) Thats not a cheap-ass crapsoft scope: That is a real-steel 3-9x magnification scope. Maybe not millitary-grade, but it is sure as hell not a piece of crap. 2) I dont have rear scope mount, and have had no luck finding one. For a mount I was able to do free, out of the box, it delivers perfect eye relife. 3) Pardon me if I'm unwilling to spend a large amount of money on a M1 scope when I have a perfectly capable, battle-proven scope already available? A rear scope mount, yes. A whole new (and posibly less functional) scope? no thanks. All that is assuming that a M1 scope is 1) not cheap, and; 2) more likley to be a replica and not real-steel. If it is either, I see no point in buying one. As for the paint job, thats a pre-painted extra stock that came with the gun. I just thought it looked kickass. (Oh and Sorry dude, the helmet is my signature headgear, and is not for sale)

Well its your point of view about the scope and for sure I was talking about replica M1. Its just that your's seems to be a 25mm body and a 30 or maybe 35 mm objective which in either case reduce you field of view. I know I use to own a similiar scope I had on my m24 before I saw the difference.

I agree on the scope and mount. At least, got a proper mount.
A nice 3-9x40mm will cost you around 100$ and a good mount will be about 30$ tax in. It will make a great difference, both on look and usage. The ACU stock is very nice. The cat is also nice. And while I'm commenting, you need to vacuum your floor.... Hahaha
