M14 manual

guntech59
Does ANYONE have a -10 manual for an M14? As dumb as this sounds I can't find one on any of the official army sites. I am a contractor. If any one can help me, post here or email me at jnewcomb@twcny.rr.com. Thanks in advance.

    I was trying to figure out why the hammer kept falling when I held back the trigger and worked the action. It's semi-auto only so the trigger should have to be pulled for every shot. I took the trigger group out and worked a few times. A little lube & put it back together. NOW IT WORKS! Who knows? All is well now. I have the -20 and the -34 but I needed the operators manual to get the exact function check steps. I was active duty army '77 thru '98 and never saw an M14. Hope you haven't gone through any trouble for something I have already fixed. If you have ...sorry and thanks!

    I have an absolutely awsome manual for the m-14. i picked it up at a gun show for a couple of bucks, it explains everything you want and more, its called "The m14 Owner's Guide, and match conditioning instructions" by Scott A. Duff and John M. Miller.

    I do contract maintenance for the Army and I needed the actual army Tech Manual. I have one on the way from Rock Island Arsenal. Still, thanks for the info. With some of the military adopted civilian arms I work on sometimes the manufacturers manuals are much better.

    The connector bar (the piece that is on the M-14, but not on the M1A) should have a round "lock" on the rear portion of it. If the pin that is under it is turned it changes the distance so that when the action closes, the operating rod engages the front of the bar, pushing it forward slightly, which causes one set of trigger hooks to move and disengage from the hammer; since the other set is disengaged by holding the trigger back, the hammer is allowed to drop on the firing pin; resulting in an automatic rifle; So the problem may be in the position of the pin underneath the lock, or in the tolerances on the bar.

    Thanks for the info ray. I found a burr on the bottom release, plus the whole thing was REALLY dry. They pulled these things out of a warehouse somewhere and the users cleaned them a little a little aggresively. and "forgot" to put any lube on them. Problem fixed. Again, thanks
