Great picture!
He needs and SEI ACOG mount to move the optic back a little though.
I know that this might sound odd but can some one give me info about the recoil of the M-14. What I mean is that is more or less than the recoil of first the M-24 and then the G-3/A3. Would be a great help.
m14 has more recoil than m24, at leats it feels that way, besides m24 wighs more too, cant tell you anything bout g3 I have never shot one....
I'm luvin' this thread...
Anybody got a pic of an M-14 with a 200-round drum mag?
Hannibal Smith from "A-Team" would love this thread for sure... remember his silver and wood M-14? a classic![]()
~Center~, I've been meaning to ask this: what's the difference between the Mini-14 and M-14? I mean, they're both 7.62, right? ....or not.![]()
Mini 14's are like scaled down Garands in 5.56mm (also available in 7.62 x39). There are a few variations ("military" versions with select fire, folding stocks, carbines etc). They're quite a bit smaller than M14's.
The last pic, why does his scope have some sort of screen? Is that some sort of anti-glare device?
I thought the one I had in Nam was unique.I was in Nam in the early years when you saw a wide variety of issued weapons. I ended up being assigned a M14A1E1. I had never even seen one before. I was with a group of about 5 guys in a paddy, when we were fired on. I just caught a glimpse of the flash, and swung my rifle up to fire of a round as we moved for cover. Hell, I had it in automatic, and before I got my finger off the trigger, I was firing nearly straight up. The Sgt hollered at me, "What the F*.* you doing, it is not a air strike! Good thing there were no choppers near by
I latter found out it had a bipod on it before, but had been removed.
