The Best Shooting and most accurate
The M-14 was the best! A little heavy but a great individual weapon.
Salute! Happy Birthday! Keith

A truly wonderful weapon that got to see action in Nam.....it is one of our brothers.
Keith, your right buddy, a little heavy.....but that sucker would never misfire unless it was the rounds fault. Happy birthday buddy! Packo

14
The problem with the 14 wasn't that it weighed 2 lbs more than the 16, it was the ammo, a 308 round in a 20 round mag was heavy compaired to a 223 round in a 20 round mag.
I carried 3 bandoliers of 16 ammo =21 mags. No way I would carry 21 M-14 mags. 308 is a good deer round. Ron

HAPPY B'DAY!
An excellent weapon but, like Ron said, sure wouldn't have liked humpin' it in Nam. I qualified Expert with it. Pretty good for a City Kid
