Sniper rifles have always been an outdated previously issued service rifle. We were still using 03 Springfields in Korea and even Vietnam.

An assortment of tools for the troops to choose from works best. |

It looks as though the M14 will continue to see limited specialized military service
for several years to come ~ making it the longest serving US battle rifle ever |

For years and years, there were M14's (connector locks welded) issued to the various state associations for the purpose of loaning them out to members for Highpower competition, but the CMP pulled all those back a year or two ago. |

You could draw one from the DCM at Perry too. According to my notebook I had #357300

It states in the FAQ section on the CMP site that they will not be selling m14's. Also, recently they issued a statement saying that once the M1 carbine, Garand, and 03' surplus have dried up in a few years that they would be out of business.

The M14 is our last surviving main battle rifle, though it's no longer used as an MBR.
Even though many were stored, given away and destroyed, the NAVY and special forces kept them going all along. Today, growing numbers are being pressed back into service. Long live the M14 |
