Default Two M14-3s Target Masterpieces

Two M14-3s. The well used and shows it PPC gun with the Bo-Mar rib and target hammer and trigger is from 1972 or so. The stock gun is from 1975. The former comes from a retired police officer the latter has been a favorite of mine for many years. Both are excellent shooters.

Enjoy.

The rib helps me pick up the sights quicker. The weight of the rib reduces muzzle flip and absorbs some recoil which allows for some faster more accurate da shooting than is the case with the non-ribbed gun. The sight profile of the Bo-Mars is very clean which helps as well.

In slow aimed fire there is likely more difference due to ammo variation and load than to the guns. Meaning one is about as accurate as the other.

This is what I've seen anyway.
