The trw mystique is further strengthened by the growing pains suffered by winchester and harrington & richardson in 1960 and 1961 Overall, it is fair to say that trw had the most trouble free production record of the four manufacturers Sometimes it pays to be last but it always pays to plan well. The colt mystique was totally debunked for us many decades ago, unfortunately It has a mystique due to that I think that i have a case of it in the ammo bunker
What i did find that was accurate, and able to penetrate quite well, was a couple cases of 1100 rounds , on strippers, of chinese military surplus from the 1980s Still have a case and a half of that, as well All i have heard about the mystique of glenn nelson builds, i’m surprised it has a ball bearing nm pinion instead of the real deal The trw mystique comes from these facts #1, when they got a contract to build the m14 rifle, their manufacturing techniques were considered ahead of the times and, they put together a special group exclusively to do, and oversee production & manufacturing. The wrapper is dated 1966, so after winchester had stopped m14 rifle production
I have been using behrs tung oil finish ( a blend of tung and linseed w/ some driers) for some time and find it easy to use and blend with older finishes Watco danish oil is also very authentic Avoid the watco with dark stain added ( it shows every scratch.) Overall, it is fair to say that trw had the most trouble free production record of the four manufacturers. But the mystique of having your rifle as close as you can get to the original m14, gi parts and a forged receiver without the big cost of a nfa one
Of course, there is the premium cost for that.
