The US M14 Rifle was my favorite rifle during my time in the Navy and with EOD and after my time as a civilian. Really happy with how the rifle was modified for use with each service! 

 

Some claimed it was to heavy and that 5.56mm was a better cartridge! I was a 150 pound Navy EOD Tech and had no problem shooting the M14 with its 7.62x51MM ammo! Those that complain are a bunch of whining real man wanabee’s! The world is full of them! Wannabee’s!!!
