Battle-Tested M14 Rifle Withstands the Test of Time
The M14 has been in U.S. military service for over a half-century and seems likely to fill the designated marksman role for a few more years.

The M-14 was my T/O weapon in Nam. Our sniper team for the P.D. had two with selectors as the spotter's rifles. I currently own a civilian model. I think they're great rifles!

When the $hit hits the fan I'm grabbing that and a .45. I also heard or read somewhere that during Desert Storm a lot of the special ops guys pulled many of the Vietnam era M14's out of the armory and put them back in service due that the 5.56 was too light and was greatly affected by the desert storm winds so they needed the heavier bullet. While plausible, I never got that confirmed.

My first shooting experience was with an M14 at Parris Island in 1966. To me, it's picture is in my mental dictionary next to the definition of the word "Rifle".
Marched, ran, did bayonet drills with that rifle. FIRST LOVE!
