  1. If you know Different´s website about our loved M14, there is in Commercial M14 photo gallery picture of M14 SOPMOD with M203. It doesn´t look so strange although I like the most the classical GI wooden type.

    I did not like the look of SOPMOD but once I have seen a photo of someone´s (I think Oikoik´s) and was hit. I would like to buy this modification and start a collection of M14s:)))

  2. A partial list of foreign governments that have received M14 rifles from the United States includes Argentina, Belize, Chad, Chile, Colombia, Dominican Republic, Estonia, Greece, Haiti, Israel, Jordan, Latvia, Lithuania, Philippines, South Korea, Taiwan, and Turkey. Some examples of such transfers are as follows:

    Nation Amount Year(s) Transfer Method Cost

    If Available

    Belize 15 1995 EDA $828.00

    Chile 12 1995 EDA $662.00

    Colombia 10,000 1990-92 FMS

    Estonia 40,500 1998 EDA Free

    Israel 35,000 1973 Free

    Latvia 10,000 1996 EDA Free

    Lithuania 40,000 1998 EDA Free

    Philippines 3,638 1994 EDA $200,817.60

    Taiwan 30,450 1995 EDA $1,680,840.00

    Turkey 200 1995 EDA Free

     

    EDA = Excess Defense Articles program

    FMS = Foreign Military Sales program

    MAP = Military Assistance Program

    124,815 M14 rifles were exported under the EDA program between 1995 and 1998. Some were given at no cost under the EDA and MAP programs while other M14 rifles were sold under the FMS program. The Excess Defense Articles program is authorized under the Federal Assistance Act of 1961. Other M14 rifles were transferred to foreign nations under Military Assistance Programs. A Total Army Assets database query performed during the first half of 2001 found a total U. S. Army inventory of 120,021 M14 rifles. This included M14 rifles in each classification of readiness condition. This query did not account for M14A1, M14M (Modified) and M14 NM (National Match) rifles in the possession of the U. S. Army or any M14 rifles in the inventory of the U. S. Navy, Marine Corps or Air Force. As of mid-2003, the U. S. Army inventory was approximately 96,000 M14 rifles in Condition A readiness.

  3. Yes, I forgot, you have mentioned this once here. I have a problem with memory :D

     

    Because I do impression of USMC Force Recon in Vietnam, scopes are out of question but in future I would like to put together some modern stuff with M14 SOPMOD. I did not like it before but after seeing some pictures here I got lost and need one:)

  4. I think, it´s time for another M14 picture.

    My old but damn reliable ASC M14 with two of six magazines. I plan to buy TM or G&G M14 but when I finally find out which one of them has the correct paramatres.

  5. I hate when people tell other people what they should do with "Their" guns.

     

    But in this case you are correct. I actually have the brown one now but that is an old picture. I was too lazy to take new one thx.

     

    Oh sorry Blastyman, I didn´t want to offence you, I just used my English in a wrong way, I just wanted to say that it would look more historically realistic.

  6. Just a little note Blastyman to your wood M14 - change the black handguard for brown one, the black is awful and not right with wood, I don´t understand why Marui made it black.

     

    Except this, the wood job is perfect.
