Tony: just wanted to express my thanks for the various videos as well as other comments you have included on this forum. I am new to this forum, and (except for a couple of years back in the 60's) am new to the m14/M1A. Recently purchased a Springfield Armory standard version and I'm now in the process of replacing some parts, springs, etc., and waiting for the gas system tools you recommend to arrive. I live in the same area as you, and I was wondering in you might know of any stores locally that would be a good source of "stuff" for the m1a. Thanks again for all the information you have passed along.....JKL
