Then ATF came up with their bogus ruling that the semi-auto only U.S. TRW was well positioned to virtually corner the market with civilian legal non-NFA semi-auto only U.S. The perfect springboard to the commercial market would be The National Matches at Camp Perry. It appears to me that TRW was VERY interested in commercial sales of their non-NFA semi-auto only U.S. TRW M14NM Rifle s/n 1453711 discussed above was presented in good faith of being a non-NFA Title 1 firearm to one of these "friends of the company".ĮDIT: After a bit more reading, I have corrected & added to my statement above. TRW M14NM rifles presented to "friends of the company" were registered & transferred as NFA weapons. TRW N14NM rifles sold at Camp Perry and the semi-auto only U.S. TRW M14NM rifles sold at Camp Perry were registered & transferred as NFA weapons. M14/M14NM rifles to qualified individuals/entities over the years. TRW apparently had enough interest in the commercial market to sell their semi-auto only U.S. M14 rifle production especially in the area of metallurgy which is where the other (2) contractors initially faltered. The aerospace expertise TRW had gave them a distinct advantage in U.S. They were simply a government contractor that had no interest in the civilian firearms market. TRW wasn't a firearms manufacturer in the sense that Remington or Winchester was. They may have wanted nothing more to do with U.S. But as I understand it, TRW lost their shirt on these U.S. A great opportunity appears to have been completely overlooked by TRW. TRW M14NM rifles were non-NFA Title 1 weapons available for purchase just like any other rifle. TRW M14NM rifle is NOT a machinegun nor has it ever BEEN a machinegun. In hindsight, it is very unfortunate that the attorneys at TRW did not immediately challenge ATF's incorrect 'knee-jerk" ruling on the U.S. Does anyone here know the facts or the status of such guns in legal terms? I am going to post this to GD as well and hopefully get a speedy response. Is any of this true? I can't quickly find any info online. Furthermore, it seems that the rifles were produced in a "national match" configuration by Winchester. This information is coming from the deep recesses of my memory. It is my understanding that the CMP sold a number of M14 rifles back in the day for a short period of time before running into issues with receivers that had been "converted" to semi-auto.
Winchester m14 sarco serial#
(TRW) 7.62mm M-14 National Match Rifle, Serial No. HTHĮDIT: James O Bardwell, a pro-gun attorney, has information on the court case over U.S. XM21/M21 rifle which we would all enjoy seeing documented. TRW M14NM s/n 1453711 may also have a U.S. That rifle is not a transferable but a one-of-a-kind non-NFA Title 1 U.S. TRW M14NM rifle s/n 1453711 is only applicable to that specific rifle. But the court order allowing lawful Title 1 non-NFA ownership of U.S. TRW M14NM rifle s/n 1453711 believed it to be a lawful non-NFA Title 1 weapon & successfully argued his case in U.S. TRW M14NM rifles purchased in good faith as lawful non-NFA weapons were not turned in. For those not old enough to remember non-NFA gun sales prior to the GCA 1968 (I am that old and then some), no record keeping was required for a purchase/sale. When ATF found out about this, they ordered all the buyers to turn them in. These TRW M14NM rifles were never assembled as "machineguns" so the manufacturer believed that they could be sold to the general public as non-NFA Title 1 firearms.
M14NM rifles manufactured by TRW were sold during the Nationals at Camp Perry way back in the '60s. These are the facts as I understand them:Ī very limited number of semi-auto only U.S. I am no expert on this but I have been shooting/collecting U.S.
