Along with the FN-FAL and the AK-47, the M14 is considered by most experts to be one of the finest
military rifles ever issued. The M14 rifle design was first conceived during World War II when airborne
units wanted a weapon with the killing power of the M1 but capable of firing fully automatic. After a lengthy
design and testing period, the M14 was officially adopted as the United States Rifle, Caliber 7.62 mm in 1957.
The M14 went to war in Vietnam, but the humid jungle conditions caused the wooden stock to swell and
the rifle lost its aim. The army issued a fiberglass stock for the M14 to combat this problem. The M14
served well but was almost completely superseded by the smaller calibered M16 by 1969.
One area where the M14 excelled was as a sniper rifle. A special variant with 3-9x power telescope
designated the M21, was adopted as the U.S. Army’s standard sniper rifle.
