Hmm. Interesting question. I'd be curious to know this too. So... TAG. MJD

Suppressed M14 in a SAGE with a 18" barrel.
 Suppressed M14 in a GI synthetic stock with a 22" barrel. PHOTO LINK Both rifles utilize the Smith Enterprise, Inc. DC Vortex flash hider and the SEI/Fisher M14DC sound suppressor. |

Once my Form 4 gets approved I can tell you. I'm getting the same suppressor that is in the photo above. |

=========== Much experience with the M14DC design. As to it holding up, this thing is essentially indestructable and if that's not good enough, remember: it's rebuildable in the field. This is a compelling factor in the decision by several military organizations to procure this design. It is not the quietest, but that wasn't the objective in developing this unit. It is nonetheless, very quiet and accuracy with this unit is phenomenal. I'm waiting on my own, as well. |

Whats the weight and specs on that piece? Kinda off topic, but what is the weight difference between a GI wood stock and that Sage stock? Looks like an overall well built setup.

My wife's nephew used one in Iraq. He said when set up inside a room, even with the suppressor he wore earplugs because of the stone walls. Not sure what type of suppressor it had, I just saw it in some pics when he showed me some of his gear.

From my book M14 Rifle History and Development:
"Smith Enterprise, Inc. and Fisher Enterprises (Tempe, AZ) have developed and produce a M14 sound suppressor that quickly attaches and detaches from the Smith Enterprise, Inc. direct connect flash hider. It is part of the M14SE semi-automatic sniper system. This sound suppressor weighs 2 pounds 1 ounce and has an overall length of 11.2 ”. The casing is made of surface hardened titanium. The suppressor does not require any modification of the M14 type gas system. The quick detach mechanism is made from stainless steel. All of the baffles are coated with thin dense chromium resulting in a surface hardness of 80 HRC. The first baffle in the sound suppressor is coated with polytetrafluoroethylene over the chromium." |

The revised SEI CH Mk 14 Mod 0 EBR phase II configuration includes a slight opening of the gas port to accommodate optimal use of the M14DC suppressor.

========== That's quite correct, in fact the USN will have their MK14 Mod O barrels modded to reflect this SEI development (along with a host of other upgrades ala "Phase II") as part of their ECP. All the USAF MK14s will have this feature built in from the outset. |

M14SE Phase II is also discussed in my book.

Thanks, H20_MAN. I autographed the complimentary copies tonight. They will go out tomorrow. Also the American Rifleman e-mailed me for a copy to review. So, that goes out tomorrow too. Turns out the Senior Executive Editor is a M14 fan.

I think my springfield loaded is going to become a MK14 Mod 0 in the near future. The more I look at pics like this, the more enticing it becomes.

More pics??? Photo Link The stock is a SAGE EBR. 13" top rail.  The slightly shorter "Chop Mod" version is all that's available now. 11.25" top rail.  The scope rail is made by Smith Enterprise, Inc.  The DC Vortex is un-modified and also made by SEI. The suppressor kinda snaps-on and snaps-off the groove cut into the FS.  Mk 14 Mod O (SASS) EBR I hope this helps. |

I think I am going to be placing a SWR Omega or SORAD on the end of my boom stick. I really like SWR's products and the customer service is second to none.

SWR is just down the road from me and makes excellent products - however, it is unclear how you go about mounting their can to an M14/M1A rifle. There are no questions about intalling the SEI/Fisher can - as long as you install the correct DC Vortex you are good to go. |
