$700?!?!?! HAHAHAHA WHAT A LAUGH!!!!!!!! I'd be bouncing off the walls if they were 700 bucks! The cheapest, stripped-down M1A goes for $1500, no less.
why would i bother to talk about one you cannot buy/transfer, yeah the military has them cheap, cuz they have had it since Korea, AND i didn't say the one in the video was an semi-auto only, i was not refering to that one. I can see the selector, if a civilian wants a M14 you are going to pay out the nose,
I'd rather have a BAR full auto. cost about the same if you could find one
NO offense, Norinco is some chinese CRAP, my brother had a "unnamed assault rifle" from them
we called it the "Mystery Trigger" no matter what you had it set on, the first pull might be semi-auto, the next might fire a burst and the next one would empty the mag, and the safety never worked, i'd rather throw rocks (sarcasm) , you get what you pay for with them
the banana stock is bad but the rest is ok. for the price the product is really good and Personally in Canada I never heard of a huge problem with a Norinco firearm.
Sorry but it is a real one. It is an arsenal refinished item from one of Uncle Sam's leftover stores that haven't been given away to some 3rd world country. If you see near the rear of the receiver, there is a "knob." Normally, there would be a selector switch residing in that position but it has been replaced with a plug. This rifle is a gift from the past from the old school U.S. Army for today's troops. It still proves that the M-14 is a valid weapon for today's battlefield.
thats only if it is automatic and thats because of government regulation, they sold a lot of automatic rifles at the same price as the semi auto varients a couple of months ago. production costs are no different between the m1a and m14
Where? I live in a state where ALL I need a tax stamp ($250) to own a full auto or suppressor, as i am not felon, IF I could have bought a Full-auto M14 a few months ago for $400.00, even a crappy norinco one, i would have been on it like white on rice. and i realize productions costs are the same, I know a M1A IS a M14, just semi-auto
no it was guns like the G36, m4, m16, G3, M249. This was a sale put on by a website and was limited time only, it was only sent out to people who joined their mailing list by buying products from them. I wouldnt lie about this. By the way, all it takes to make gun automtic is a good machine shop who can make a quality sear. Then you have to register it. We have the same laws in our state.
yea! nice going you fuck terd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! id like to se you hit a target further than he can.....i hope you know what they have to do to become a soldier..... tons of training to become trained marksmen.!!!!!! : )
5.He's not a sniper and he had no real training if at all
I was a sniper in vietnam train by the 4th Inf. and was a OH-6 Loc with a door gunner we pop smoke and the gunships drop thier payload 69-70 M-14 is the best from the air but you need the rifle belt to secure postion in a flying loc-OH-6.
The AK-47 or M-14 I would take the M-14 in combat and you have to be patient and pick your targets
i didnt see how he was firing the wep wrong, as far as fireing from a standing positiong it looked fine for not being able to see from his waist down, 2nd he wasnt in the air, 3rd 4th ID has always been a bunch of mech pog's, wtf do they know about sniping, if your going to claim you were trained in sniper skillz at least claim a leg unit like the 101st 10th MTN or 82nd..even 75th RGT..i smell bull shit...POG bull shit.
How is his position wrong? So what if you don't have a rifle belt? You don't need one to fire the weapon accuractely. You don't know what you're talking about.

nope civilans and only own fully auto weapons made before 1986, also only 37 states let you own any fully auto weapons and you have to send in an application with pretty much a perfect record and pay like 300$ per weapon to the state.
ive seen mostly the chinese version of the m14 which is not to much different roughly about 900-1400bucks now for the springfield expect it to be alittle out there for price. honestly depends on how bad you want one you might want to look into buying the new socom 2 or the varants of it they differ in price i think the lowest one i saw was around 800 or so it might be your best bet but thats up to you
the enfield is a .303 cal there are mixed feeling about that rifle i personally have respect for a firearms or weapons because they all help shape the world of war somehow but when i got the chance to shoot one i put about 200 rounds through it. it was ok not anything to brag about. sights were ok the recoil was alittle above normal that you would expect. cleaning it was not to bad but if you try to do some upgrade to the trigger or bolt then you run into so problems but overall desent rifle
yeah okay thats why a cheap made wasr 10 in the us is between 498-900 dollers when they were just 150-250 last year and an m14 isnt just thrown together like a wasr 10 ak47 either
thank god someone can tell the difference between army and marine ACU'S man these people on here are just stupid. anyways thanks for clearing that up for them
Many people dont know they had a Sniper Rifle problem in Irak. This is a Modified M14 with scope i think the M14's are made of wood but the M21's are polymer.
Is that a Leupold scope on that M14? Does anyone even know? Just curious. I tend to buy what the military buys when it comes to firearms and/or scopes, or the closest thing to it since they test and issue battle-proven weaponry and equipment.... for the most part.
Actually the wood housing is the biggest weakness of the M14. After extensive firing the wood starts to compress and wear down in places. This makes the bedding insecure and throws off not only accuracy but consistency. Only way to fix it is by having a gunsmith put in glass inserts, which isn't something you can do in a warzone. This is why the Marines switched to polymer housings for their DMRs.
I think the .223 would be worse due to the bullet not penetrating all the way through unlike the .308. Also, the .223 tumbles and splinters inside the target making a much worse wound then the m14's .308.
actually, the complete penetration is best. you will learn that in hunting. it makes a bigger splatter and blood trail and it causes them to bleed more, making them die quicker
Lets just say this guns 7.62 nato round will most likely kill you in one shot the round is much bigger and the kinetic energy is almost double the m16, the problem is its a very large and heavy gun recoil is much more than the m16 and holds less rounds, bad for CQB close quarters combat
isn't that why it makes a better sniper rifle than c.q.c. and better on semi-auto than full. for better control. eack squads rifles serve a purpouse. m-14 is a heavy gun for suppressing fire or long range fire isn't it???
It looks like there's some kind of ejection port, but it's just the scope mount rail over the receiver that makes the apperance of a port of some kind. The M14 without a scope is just open, just like the M1 Garand, but since it has the scope on it, it appears to have a port. The bottom of the mount has a brass deflector, it's an angled siding that makes the brass fly out and to the right so that the obstruction of the scope mount doesn't cause jams. Nice observation
Wouldn't it be easier to just have a deflector on the charging handle like the Kel-Tec SU series? That way you don't need to have a different one for every scope? On the other hand, I guess you really only need one rail mount, and you can swap out your aimpoints and leupolds and whatnot.
The blass defelctor is the scope mount, so any scope will work, the scope mount is the part that deflects the brass. I don't even know if it would be possible or effective to put a brass deflector on the charging handle, our current setup seems to work well.
I used to be the biggest 7.62 fan, but I've looked into the 6.8 Barret is developing and I wouldn't mind if we switched to that. In the Army we have to use the M16's 5.56 and there's been some acounts of insurgents getting shot, and just looking around to see who shot them. When the Marines fought in Falujah, they found empty adrenaline injections everywhere, the insurgents were injecting it, which was making the 5.56 more and more useless. Either way, the 5.56 needs to go.
i imagine the only thing an Iraq looks at when shot with the m14 is the sky. lol. i have a 308 bolt action rifle and i know if i was hit by it id be down.
the reason we use smaller calibers then we used to (glorified highspeed 22 lr(s)) is cause a soldier can carry more ammo and its just as effective as the larger rounds a the typical engagment range seen in modern combat basically the older rifle rounds larger caliber and faster where over powered for the situations the soldiers faced so no they dont need to switch back to the larger calibers thats what AP ammo is made for
That's exactly what the cubicle commandos said to justify them taking away our firepower. The theory was that you could carry more ammo, which is true, but you need to use more of the small-caliber ammo to do the same job, so it basically balances out logistics-wise. The problem is that we need a caliber that can stop on the first shot, and there's been many instances when drug-using insurgents took several 5.56 bullets to stop them, and sometimes you need the first shot to count.
Honestly, his technique is pretty bad.

Is that a Leupold scope on that M14? Does anyone even know? Just curious. I tend to buy what the military buys when it comes to firearms and/or scopes, or the closest thing to it since they test and issue battle-proven weaponry and equipment.... for the most part.

its a leupold or should be
but nightforce should be good for that as well

The M14 is THE BEST!
Wood & Metal FTW
deGothiaSweden 2 years ago
Actually the wood housing is the biggest weakness of the M14. After extensive firing the wood starts to compress and wear down in places. This makes the bedding insecure and throws off not only accuracy but consistency. Only way to fix it is by having a gunsmith put in glass inserts, which isn't something you can do in a warzone. This is why the Marines switched to polymer housings for their DMRs.

that m14 and those two m4s are fucken beastly.
big666head 2 years ago
I think the .223 would be worse due to the bullet not penetrating all the way through unlike the .308. Also, the .223 tumbles and splinters inside the target making a much worse wound then the m14's .308.
blackkat7073 2 years ago
.308 does,, Just at a longer range
orbitofdoom16 2 years ago
actually, the complete penetration is best. you will learn that in hunting. it makes a bigger splatter and blood trail and it causes them to bleed more, making them die quicker

How this rifle performs compared to the m-16?
Cuajinice 2 years ago
Lets just say this guns 7.62 nato round will most likely kill you in one shot the round is much bigger and the kinetic energy is almost double the m16, the problem is its a very large and heavy gun recoil is much more than the m16 and holds less rounds, bad for CQB close quarters combat
commommm 2 years ago
isn't that why it makes a better sniper rifle than c.q.c. and better on semi-auto than full. for better control. eack squads rifles serve a purpouse. m-14 is a heavy gun for suppressing fire or long range fire isn't it???

i had no idea that the ejection port was seperate from where the charging handle is.
LWRCftw 2 years ago
It looks like there's some kind of ejection port, but it's just the scope mount rail over the receiver that makes the apperance of a port of some kind. The M14 without a scope is just open, just like the M1 Garand, but since it has the scope on it, it appears to have a port. The bottom of the mount has a brass deflector, it's an angled siding that makes the brass fly out and to the right so that the obstruction of the scope mount doesn't cause jams. Nice observation
armormaster 2 years ago
ty, and thanks for the info. it was really helpful.
LWRCftw 2 years ago
Wouldn't it be easier to just have a deflector on the charging handle like the Kel-Tec SU series? That way you don't need to have a different one for every scope? On the other hand, I guess you really only need one rail mount, and you can swap out your aimpoints and leupolds and whatnot.
Otacon237 2 years ago
The blass defelctor is the scope mount, so any scope will work, the scope mount is the part that deflects the brass. I don't even know if it would be possible or effective to put a brass deflector on the charging handle, our current setup seems to work well.
armormaster 2 years ago
Oh ok, I thought it was something you had to add to the mount in addition to the scope.
Otacon237 2 years ago
The M14 is such an awesome looking rifle.
exitthefatass 2 years ago 2
I used to be the biggest 7.62 fan, but I've looked into the 6.8 Barret is developing and I wouldn't mind if we switched to that. In the Army we have to use the M16's 5.56 and there's been some acounts of insurgents getting shot, and just looking around to see who shot them. When the Marines fought in Falujah, they found empty adrenaline injections everywhere, the insurgents were injecting it, which was making the 5.56 more and more useless. Either way, the 5.56 needs to go.

i imagine the only thing an Iraq looks at when shot with the m14 is the sky. lol. i have a 308 bolt action rifle and i know if i was hit by it id be down.

you cannot compare m14 and m16. first off, they use two completely different types of bullet, and they are desgined for two different purposes.
comparing those two would be comparing a dog and a snake

The 223 is only in the civilian model rifles mostly. But even then it can pierce a bullet proof vest so I wouldn't want to be in front of it.

They should ditch the M4 for the HK416, HK417, or SCAR.
MosinNagant69 3 years ago
the only problem with that is that the cost of all 3 of those is much higher than the M4.
visno 3 years ago
Thats true but they should gradually fase it out. If the weapon is going to save lives its worth it.
MosinNagant69 3 years ago
The m14 should not be fased out- it is a decent sniper riffle and is great for covering the guys with m16s.
upyr1 2 years ago
Not the M14. I said the M4 should gradually be fased out for a higher caliber assult rifle.
MosinNagant69 2 years ago
the reason we use smaller calibers then we used to (glorified highspeed 22 lr(s)) is cause a soldier can carry more ammo and its just as effective as the larger rounds a the typical engagment range seen in modern combat basically the older rifle rounds larger caliber and faster where over powered for the situations the soldiers faced so no they dont need to switch back to the larger calibers thats what AP ammo is made for
doubletap22 2 years ago 3
That's exactly what the cubicle commandos said to justify them taking away our firepower. The theory was that you could carry more ammo, which is true, but you need to use more of the small-caliber ammo to do the same job, so it basically balances out logistics-wise. The problem is that we need a caliber that can stop on the first shot, and there's been many instances when drug-using insurgents took several 5.56 bullets to stop them, and sometimes you need the first shot to count.
