I can't believe that people are still falling for this chit.  Knock it off it makes us look stupid.


"If you are Proud of American Freedoms, Concerned of War Costs, and an Avid Firearm Enthusiast I URGE you to SIGN. "

and if you are clueless as to the reality of the Military and the M14 situation.

THEY (the military) don't have enough M14s for their needs and purposes!  Do you really think that they have extras to give away to the CMP to sell?

Nevermind all of the legalities involved in that situation.
Nevermind the once an MG always an MG rule.

However, what you are reading on the Internet is total crap. No matter how many times we say it - the Army does not have any M14s that are surplus. The petition that is floating around is over 20 years old, many of the "facts" in it are incorrect, and it is being circulated without CMP permission or even coordination with the CMP. The folks who are pushing this issue have not bothered to find out from the CMP if we are even interested in obtaining M14s. There is alot of baggage associated with the M14s that we may not want to get involved in, or even be allowed to get involved in because of our corporate status.

Facts are that the Army only has a relatively few thousand M14s in inventory, the M14 is not obsolete, it is an active weapon for the Navy and USMC and other government agencies, there is an active program ongoing for sale of the M14 to law enforcement agencies, no M14s are being destroyed or have been destroyed for almost ten years.

I sincerely do appreciate you asking. You're one of very few. We would appreciate not getting any assistance from the public concerning the M14.
