Bring back the M14!
“Bring back the M14!”
YES! I love my two (M1A’s).
Its funny that the “gas-piston” is making a come back.
The military is trying to refurbish as many M14 as possible these days.
Retire the M16/M4 (and issue them out to the CMP ... YEAH!).
My vote is for the M14 as well. With a 20in barrel instead of the 22in barrel and a bird cage flashhider instead of the long flash hider and one of the telescoping stocks.
“Bring back the M14!”
They are back....they’ve all been brought out of Army storage and issued to combat units....since the ATF considers them machine guns they were never sold to civilians....the Army has held them all this time....a small number were given to law enforcement and the Army has requested that those be returned at once...the strong demand for the M-14 is said to be driven by two factors:
1.The knockdown power of the .308 Winchester round.
2.They don’t require near the maintenence/lubrication of an M-4 to keep them running in desert conditions.
There were no doubt times over the last 40 years when the wisdom of holding on to these rifles was questioned....the Army was wise to keep them given what we know now.
M14. Great rifle. Loved it so much while in service, bought an M1A when I retired.
