The trw mystique is further strengthened by the growing pains suffered by winchester and harrington & richardson in 1960 and 1961 Overall, it is fair to say that trw had the most trouble free production record of the four manufacturers Sometimes it pays to be last but it always pays to plan well. It has a mystique due to that I think that i have a case of it in the ammo bunker What i did find that was accurate, and able to penetrate quite well, was a couple cases of 1100 rounds , on strippers, of chinese military surplus from the 1980s
Still have a case and a half of that, as well But the mystique of having your rifle as close as you can get to the original m14, gi parts and a forged receiver without the big cost of a nfa one Of course, there is the premium cost for that. All i have heard about the mystique of glenn nelson builds, i’m surprised it has a ball bearing nm pinion instead of the real deal Overall, it is fair to say that trw had the most trouble free production record of the four manufacturers. The wrapper is dated 1966, so after winchester had stopped m14 rifle production
Fired up the cnc, but we know where lrb got theirs The whole smith mystique was born of the fact that raises the old forged vs Smith never forged a receiver They machined some from bar stock calling them forged and cast many more. If a one piece op rod had been necessary then sa would have drafted the specs to require that Trw made a large quantity of spare bolts but made little else in the way of spare parts
In my opinion, the mystique surrounding trw rifles and parts is unwarranted. Just saying they are not my cup of tea they seem to have a mystique about them similar to trw parts I did read up on the cryo treatment, it does change the properties of the steel but can you really see the difference at the range I would like to see someone do a side by side test with an obermeyer or krieger barrel
