Finished my take on an M1A as a DMR'ish type rifle. Started off as a standard 22" barrel version in FDE composite stock then upgraded to the Vltor M1-SS stock. Liked the lightweight nature of it, but not the ergos or appearance that much. Happened to learn about the M14.Ca Blackfeather RS chassis and really liked what I saw. Below is what is done to it for the Blackfeather RS chassis build:

• GrovTec QD button bases
• Harris S-BRP bipod
• KMW Pod-Loc lever for Harris bipods
• Leupold low PRW2 30mm rings
• M14.Ca Blackfeather RS chassis, painted with Duracoat Coyote Desert Brown
• M14.Ca CASM EX rail, modded by removing front overhang portion & clearancing 3 rail sections for scope.
• MDT Carbine SCS stock, painted with Duracoat Coyote Desert Brown
• Masterpiece Arms Enhanced Vertical Grip
• Primary Arms SLx 1-8×24 LPVO scope with the Griffin Mil reticle
• Smith Enterprise Inc National Match muzzle brake
• Smith Enterprise Inc gas cylinder
• Smith Enterprise Inc Improved gas piston (spiral grooved)
• Smith Enterprise Inc A5 C-IED gas plug
• Smith Enterprise Inc extended bolt release lever
• USGI M14 EBR Trigger shoe

Reworked stock top handguard cover to match better with the RS chassis bolt cutout
Weight is just over 13lbs with empty magazine...so just over 14lbs with 20rds in mag. Now just need some time to see how it shoots compared to the Vltor stock previously was running it in. Sure feels way more solid/locked in than it did in the Vltor stock. The Smith Enterprise Inc extended bolt release lever was last thing I just did to finish up the build and is a HUGE improvement over the stock one.
