i preffer the modstock version of the M14 when it comes to a CBQ rifle simply because it is easier to handle.
the grip the TM and G&G Socoms look very uncomfortable when your diving in and out doors and clearning rooms becasue you will have to keep it up at eye level more or less all the time and seems its a heavy gun you wouldnt want to haul that around all the time, so why they made a Socom is beyond me unless they couldn't find any better 7.62 rifles. but again aslong as the M14 continues to serve.
its better than them gathering dust
