M14 / M1A Know Your Rifle pt 2 Removal from an EBR Chassis

The Sage International EBR Chassis began a revolution for the M14 rifle in the US Military. Originating from a Specification written by the US Navy S.E.A.L.s. They asked for a stock system that first accurized the rifle and second improved the ability to easily mount accessories such as optics, bipod, etc. The Crane division began in the late nineties and created several versions that all had one common denominator. The GI Fiberglass stock. To varying degrees of success. However, none truly filled the bill. So they designed, from the ground up a completely new "Chassis", and the EBR was born. Sage International was contracted to produce the chassis and the rest is history.
Though a bit heavier than a conventional Mil-spec stock. The bolt-in design RADICALLY enhanced accuracy. Going from the typical 2 to 2 1/2 inch groups down into sub-minute of angle groups. .75 even down to .50 or less. All with the Original GI profile barrel. The only modification (Rock Island Arsenal version) was to change the standard Op-Rod guide to the Sage version and to ream the stock flash suppressor to National Match dimensions. Everything else was part of the chassis itself.
In this video I demonstrate how to remove the complete barreled action from the chassis. Unless dropped into the mud or water All normal cleaning and maintenance can be done with the rifle in the chassis. Once a year or after being subjected to dirt or mud you should take it out and thoroughly clean it top to bottom. ANYWHERE you see bare shiny metal should have grease applied. Oil dries and runs. Grease sticks like glue and takes much longer to dry out.
