Everytime I pick up my M14, or I hold it, or I shoot it, or clean it, or re-assemble it... I thank God for giving us the intellengence to design such thing. I thank God for my M14.

This is silly. Everyone knows that the 1911 is the gun that was a gift from God!

I told you that you need to get one, then you will believe that God realized the gift of the perect pistol needed a perfect rifle

I think it's Birch. The rifle came to me that way and I don't think the previous owner adeed it, so whatever Springfield was using in '86. I've got a tigerstripe E2 stock from Fred's I need to refinish. It will help calm it some on rock-n-roll.

I don't know about perfect, but I don't know of too many other rifles that are better

It would probably be the best rifle to own today if mags were under $15

God gave JMB the 1911 so we can fight our way to our M1 Garand/ M14.

Well I've got the 1911's just waiting on LRB's production run on the M25 recievers......

Can you have black rifle disease and m14 disease at the same time??

Perhaps...first came the stainless Colt, then an Hbar, a Kimber, a Glock, an M4, and just recently an M1A scout. http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d40/rwsduc/feversymptoms.jpg

Nice-looking collection there rus. The only thing that "bugs" me is that leaving all the mags off of the guns to photograph them is like chopping the heads off of pictures of supermodels. The mag is definitely part of the classic beautiful look of these weapons. An AR without a 20 or 30-round mag is kind of funky looking. But with it, it's badass. And though an M14 without mag has classic lines of beauty, with a 20-rounder popped in there it becomes badass. And I like my guns to be "badass".

Put those mags back in there!

I was blessed with this LRB M14-SA. Built with all USGI Springfield Armory parts by Smith Enterprise.

Yeah. I've got AR's, one Garand (Do you really need more than one?

) and a burning desire for an M14-clone that I've been trying to ignore for 25 yrs. But damn, they're still out of my price range.

Maybe in 3 or 4 more years. I don't see it happening before then except by fluke/divine intervention.
