I was wondering if any forces, besides the Americans, use the M14 or variations of. Anzacs in particular. Thank you in advance.

ummmmm hundreds? Most of the indonesian nations have a bunch still around. Im pretty sure South America still have a bunch. A great rifle never gets old, it just becomes a classic!

The Philippine Army uses then pretty heavy and Estonia use them for ceremonial purposes.

Uncle wiki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M-14) says Estonia, Greece, Israel, Latvia, Lithuania, Philippines, South Vietnam, Taiwan, Turkey, Venezuela, United States and Iceland.

I'm assuming that's as a service rifle. Considering there were about 1.38 million produced, I'm sure they're all over the place.

I think Estonia is still using the M14 as a Sniper/DMR weapon ...

AFAIK Indonesia never used the M-14 although they did licence produce the Beretta BM59. Both rifles share a common M-1 ancestory but are noticeably different.
