2022年11月21日 · So the nomenclature changed after about 2.5 yrs of testing, and today folks on this forum seem to refer to both "E2" vs "M14A1" interchangeably, although the reference to an "E2 stock" seems slightly more common than referring to an"M14A1 stock." Just a …

2018年9月19日 · To begin, I was under the impression that the West Point museum M14A1 sniper rifle, as seen in Peter Senich’s book, with a birch E2 stock, AWC scope mount, and M84 scope, was likely just a ‘one-off’ or ‘ad hoc’ M14 sniper rifle used in Vietnam by an officer in the 1st Calvary (reportedly circa 1970-1971). However, I went back and re-reviewed a section in Lee Emerson’s excellent ...

2024年11月4日 · The ammo on bottom right is 1966 dated M118 match ammo, which they also carried with their improvised M14A1 sniper rifles back in 1967. Also shown is the fake selector switch to provide the proper aesthetics.

2014年6月6日 · I thought it would be kind of cool to put together a photo album of M14E2 parts to share with the rest of the forum. This will be done in stages as I gather pictures for this thread, please feel free to add to it. It was brought to my attention by …

2023年6月8日 · A local range officer who knows I am into M14s gave me a old M14A1 muzzle stabilizer as a gift. He worked at Springfield Armory his first three years out of college, from June 1964 to June 1967. (He earned a degree in mechanical engineering). When employees were cleaning off their workbenches...

2013年2月20日 · The sling for the M14A1 was longer than a regular sling and did have to spring clip as opposed to one on the regular sling. One clip hooked to the swivel on the bipod and the other attached to the bottom of the folding "pistol grip".

2023年9月21日 · Random pics of my M14A1 replica. It's based on a 1981 SAI Supermatch, so it has an early, unmarked heavy barrel. Stock is a early SA walnut version, probably made in 1964. Has a DAS stamp and much service patina. Stock had an active service life with a wood splice repair. I think these early...

2009年6月28日 · From M14 Rifle History and Development Fourth Edition by Lee Emerson copyright 2009: "The M14E2/M14A1 rifle was fitted with a walnut or birch straight-line stock. At least one laminate wood M14E2 stock was made and it was issued for service. At least 10,350 M14E2 stocks were made in the 1960s.
