[QUOTE="Packrat 6, post: 1559899, member: 80288"] Since I'm asking for help, Will pick the brains of some of you old timers! My M-14 in the Army had a 90 degree mirror that I could put in the breech, lock it into the chamber, and sight down the barrel for cleaning, bore sighting, etc., since you can't see through the barrel by removing the bolt. It looked like a 90 degree copper pipe fitting, painted black. By moving it towards the rear, could see the chamber to inspect for clean. This was a favorite tool of Drill Sergeants for inspecting a rifle. And, this was in the days before Laser bore sights. Yeah, that far back! Since I shoot mainly a M1A which is a civilian version of the M-14, i have been trying to locate one of these mirrors for several years. Either I have the name on it wrong, or something. Can't seem to find one. Any suggestions? Have tried all the major gun parts suppliers and unless I'm just not calling it the right name, no luck. Have tried about 10 different variations on the name. Thoughts? [IMG]https://www.longrangehunting.com/data/attachments/41/41149-a432c823d5071b98b3691a8c1814bc84.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
