I have clearance to offer a print color copy of the Pictorial M14 Magazine Identification Guide Revision 0.9. This research project is a result of the collaboration of many M14 fans on the Internet.
If I have enough interest (bare minimum 50 copies needed for a print run) I'm willing to get them printed up and mailed AT COST (read no profit to me or anyone else except the printer himself and the U. S. Postal Service). I need to keep this simple, soft cover and spiral bound. It is 186 pages.
Based on my experience with the Second Edition of M14 Rifle History and Development, my SWAG is $45.00 to 50.00 postpaid per copy. I can get a firm price for 50 copies or more if there is sufficient interest. I'll make a edit of the document for typographical errors but can't guarantee perfect copyediting.
I count 352 color photos in the prototype. I could get a quote for a run using gloss paper. Spiral binding makes sense for this as you could take it with you to a gun show and "educate" a lot of folks.
What say ye?
Here's a photo of the prototype:
