My son asked me yesterday if I wanted another Poly-Tech M-14 rifle. I asked him if it's heel or side stamped.
He got the guy on the phone and I talked with him about his rifle that he was trying to sell at auction on Facebook. He told me that the M-14/S is an early heel stamped preban Poly-Tech with a serial number of well under 300.
He went on to explain that the rifle was still sealed inside its plastic factory packaging in cosmoline, just as it left the factory back in the late 80s. The factory cardboard box also contains one new 20 round and two ten round factory mags, along with the sling and the paper work.
I tried to get him off of his buy now price of $1000.00 but he would not budge. He told me that he knows what he has and if I want it his buy now price is $1000.00.
I asked him if he would provide a good, signed bill of sale because I'm a retired cop and I refuse to buy hot stuff and the rifle will be run through NCIC to check for stolen.
He told me no problem, since he bought it from the guy who originally bought it back in the day. So I told him I'd take the rifle under those stipulations. My son who travels the state, in his job will pick it up for me, since the guy is located about 100 miles distant. My son is supposed to meet him this coming Wednesday and pick up our newest M-14.
This will make four Poly-Techs, three of which are low serial numbered heel stamped plus the IDE Mich Imports side stamped that I bought late last summer along with my still new and unfired preban SAI M-1A.
I'm really happy with this deal since I paid $975.00 last year for the side stamped Poly which while new and unfired, wasn't still NIB sealed in the original shipping plastic as this one is. I plan to leave this Poly M-14/S in it's unmolested, NIB condition, never to be opened since we already have plenty of excellent shooters.
For my purposes I'd rather have this excellent forged receiver heel stamped Poly-Tech than anything SAI has built in many years. The sweet things is I already have everything on hand that I need to convert it over to all USGI M14 parts. I will put those GI parts into the box with this M-14, for future generations to use should they ever wish to do so. If another Poly-Tech M-14/S comes up down the road before the hard times arrive I'll buy it too... That is if I have any money left for investment in tangibles at that time.
All of this is a part of my long term plan for turning the money in my savings account into tangible items that will convert those federal reserve notes into things that will retain real value during the coming economic unpleasantness our country is facing.
