This has been a dream of mine most of my life to build a this rifle. It's a tribute build to Honor a cousin(Dave L Denny)that was killed in Vietnam, this is what he carried.
First I would like to thank those who have served and those that still served and then to those that Gave it all, their lives.
Also a thanks to my step son (A Marine himself) Adam Gaskin for helping build this rifle. His knowledge of the old battle rifles is unreal for his age. He hooked me up with a new manufacture of the M-14 receivers down in Alabama. They are a forged receivers and the guy hooked us up with our own serial numbers. I chose the numbers 1066, why this number ? It was the month and year David was killed.
Also a Thanks to Gundude, he provided me info on what parts to look for. I so wish he could have seen it, I talked to him several times about it and he always said to make sure he got to see it.
And a thanks to Ted at Laser Scribes, he did a wonderful job with the laser engraving.
Sorry about the first pic it would night rotate.
