M1A M14 - Sadlak Industries
In 2002, the Marine Corps Weapons
Training Battalion in Quantico, VA
evaluated our titanium scope mount and
spring guide. The NCO in Charge, at that
time, SSgt Raymond A. Conrad wrote,
“Both pieces showed a good finished
product. The spring guide fit our springs
and positively held the magazines. The
overall tolerances of the scope rail were
good and we did not have a problem
adjusting to zero.”
Our Brookfield-type scope mounts are a
positive 3-point design that allows removal
and re-assembly without losing zero. The
Picatinny-style rail is machined to Mil.
Spec 1913 and provides universal scope
mounting. Our titanium mounts are made
from an aerospace-quality hot-forged billet
(limited production), not from a casting or
plate. It is tougher and stronger, yet weighs
40% less than steel. It has a 26-30
Hardness Rockwell C (HRc) and has been
surface coated for a non-glare, matte-black
finish. This coating increases the surface
hardness to approximately 80 HRc, adding
to its corrosive and abrasive resistance.
The steel mounts are made from stress-
relieved 4142 bar stock with a hardness of
28-32 Rc. The finish is Mil. Spec. black
manganese phosphate. All mounting
hardware, fasteners, and hex wrenches
and detailed instructions are included.
Scope rings not included.

National Match Gas Piston
Our precision pistons are made to the exact GI
specifications with all critical dimensions
individually inspected. The 420 stainless
material and heat-treating operations are both
certified to assure quality. Two versions are
available: Polished & Coated. The polished
pistons have a highly polished surfaced using
a non-contact electro-polishing method that
maintains tolerance on the critical diameter
and does not “round–over” the edges on the
grooves. The coated piston is first polished
then hard coated with a gold colored Titanium
Nitride (TiN) finish. This coating, often used on
machine cutting tools, helps reduce galling and
pitting and holds up better to the high heat and
abrasiveness of gunpowder and primers. The
resulting effect is a smoother action an
improved life of the piston and cylinder.
National Match Piston Alteration
We now offer an alteration to the above
pistons that adds a .030/.040 wide groove
running along the piston axis on the large
diameter. The groove runs through the gas-
port hole for the purpose of equalizing the gas
pressure for a smoother more consistent and
accurate action. The groove is ground to the
actual GI national match drawing #9352724.
The original GI drawing for the standard piston
is #7267047 which does not specify a polished
finish or the groove.




Clarification of What is
National Match
The military originally reworked
standard M14 rifles into sniper
rifles using the specifications and
drawings developed for national
match competition. Therefore,
when first introduced, the military’
s M21/M25 sniper rifles were
actually their national match rifles.

National Match Spring Guide
Our National Match Spring Guide improves the
consistency and smooth motion of the
operating rod which help reduce wear and
increase rifle accuracy over the standard
stamped GI guide. Our NM Spring Guides are
NOT made from a cut-off stamped GI guide
welded to a round drill rod. These make-shift
NM GI guides often have a soft magazine catch
caused by the welding and may not be
precisely aligned because of poor fixturing.
Our NM spring guides are produced to the
same specifications as the military’s national
match rifles. The precision is enhanced by
making them from one-solid piece of round
8620 tool steel with no welding to cause
distortion.


Each is case hardened to 40-45 HRc in an inert gas furnace to help maintain straightness and uniform
hardness for long service. They are finished with a corrosive resistant Mil. Spec. manganese phosphate
(aka Parkerized). What makes our NM Spring Guides unique and more accurate is our precision
alignment of the magazine catch to the guide shaft. This is achieved by turning the .344 diameter shaft
from a larger diameter solid rod. The magazine catch is then precision CNC machined while being located
from the guide shaft. Four flats are milled into .344 shaft body to reduce weight and friction between the
spring which adds to the smooth action while precisely guiding the operating rod.
