The M14 is one of the harder recoiling 308 rifles. I like the FN FAL or Valmet 308 better, but the M14 I like better than the HK G3 type rifles.

That said if an M14 is what you want, you found 3 you only need to buy 1, so there seem to be plenty. Value of both the M14 and M16 are going to go up unless the 1986 ban goes away.

If you learn to handle a machinegun on full auto, then they are not so bad, if you don't learn then even a 9mm gun will tip you over.
