The M14 NM came from several sources, some were from Rock Island, the actual arsenal. (You should see the museum there, they have a compete run down of the M14NM evolution. Very interesting. Some were from Benning's shop, and I believe some came from Picatinny.
Yeah, if they were still shooting them in your time frame then the system would be pretty beat. We had babied ones at Bragg with SOTIC and they had been there since 85 when we first started the program. I had a Benning armorer that kept them in top shape for the course. He re bedded them on a regular basis and we shot groups with them before each course to see which ones to issue and which ones needed re-working. Never had that weld break, but had some other really interesting things happen. Dave Zavitz was a whiz with the rifles and one hell of a shot.
