Awesome gun bro :tup: I'm starting to adore the M14 lol

Heh Jun, I am sooo in love with your gun. :wink: I'm gonna have to pop by and have a look at it. I'll try not to drool too much on her.

It looks very solid. If only I could sell some of my guns I would get one.

VERY nice! What's the availability of scope mounts for the M14, at least in the airsoft world? I'm SUPER content with my small collection, but about the only other AEG I'd buy (money permitted) would be an M14, which I'd make into an M21. ;)

I was down there earlier, that thing is absolutely gorgeous. I'm definitely in love.

Very nice indeed! :nod:

Too~~~~ sexy~!!!

I love that gun, Jun I hope you can get a nice scope mount for it

keep it up~!!

Hey Erik, the M-14 was brought into production in the 50's. There were, however, numerous mods an' experients to upgrade the M1 garand (Mainly usin' the BAR's 20-round mags) which eventually lead to the M-14.

Anyway *goes back to droolin' over the M-14* A part of me really wants to see someone mod this into a G-43 :D

Not possible, the M1 carbine was a totally different rifle than the m14, both in size and shape. The M1 used the .30-cal cartridge, as opposed to the 7.62mm x 51 that the Vietnam-era m14 used.

shizzle.

*edit* VERRRRY NICE, paint the stock desert, go with the BHD theme.

like allway's Jun, amazing gun

I simply stated that the M-14 directly decended from America's need to improve on the M-1 Garand. Earlier versions of what would lead to the M-14 were simply tricked out M-1's, (T-20 an' T-37 bein' some of them) You are right though, the 7.62mm ammo was eventually selected over other types.

Quote:

The experience gained by US troops during the Second World war showed that the M1 Garand rifle has a lot of things to be improved. The first was the feeding system with 8-rounds en-bloc clips that does not allowed the refilling of the partially full magazine. Others were excessive length and weight of the rifle. The cartridge used in M1 Garand and known as .30-06 (7.62x63mm) was too long and too heavy, effectively limiting the load of ammunition carried by each soldier. First attempts to improve M1 were made during the war, and numerous experimental modifications in .30-06 were built, mostly using the 20-rounds detachable magazines from Browning BAR M1918 automatic rifle. One of such prototypes was the T20 ("T" means "test") of 1944. T20 was basically the M1 Garand rifle fitted with 20 rounds BAR magazine and with selective fire capability. This prototype latter evolved into the T37 rifle, which had gas cylinder moved back a little and was chambered for newest American prototype cartridge - T65. The T65 was no more than .30-06 case, shortened by 1/2 inch (12 mm), but retaining the original ballistic properties due to modern propellants used. It was slightly lighter and cheaper to made than .30-06, and has long effective range and good potential for accuracy, both desired by US Army. The idea of truly intermediate round was not acceptable to the US Military at that period. In the early 1950s T37 evolved into the T44 experimental rifle, which featured redesigned, self-regulated gas system with short stroke gas piston. Further development and tests lead to the slightly modified T44E4 and T44E5 (heavy barreled squad automatic weapon) prototypes, which were finally adopted by US Army as M14 and M15 rifles in the 1957

Sorry for the post hi-jack there. Anyway, like I said earlier, sweet frickin' rifle. If I had enough money, it would be added to my collection
