Ok, We aren't that far behind the times here in Oregon. We just changed up to the Sharps model 1859 Infantry rifle (Used by Berdan's Sharpshooters back when Reaper was little) because good flint is getting hard to come by. Still have to be careful with the paper cartridge in the rainy season around here.

Actually several units, to include the 82nd, SF and others, use the M14 as a designated marksman weapon system.

That one weapon is not the M-107, but angle won't let me decide on which it is for sure. Some of those shots are definately not Cav folk.
Another M-14:

In Najaf. That's some powerful ammo they're using... :p

Air.177 08-25-2004 13:51
That one's different. I realize that they still play a role as Precision weapons, I just thought that they had pretty well gone away in their standard comfiguration like in the last pic.

Must be some of that Hollywood Movie Ammo! In .22 it blows up cars just by shooting it at the gas tank, I didn't realize that in 7.62 you could take the roof off of a building with it though! :D

Hmmmm, I would suggest he would get a better stock weld if he layed his cheek across the stock and sighted with his left eye. His head held that high will cause the weapon to build up speed before it whacks him in the mouth. :D

What's Really wrong with the last picture?

The Guy with the M-14 has on WHITE socks! :D


It frightens me that I noticed that. I'm sure to be on the next E-8 List now.....

Those aren't socks, it's the shin guards showing. FrontSight might be in the neighborhood.

Having gone off on a tangent, the trip continues. Kickin' it old school:

Damn, would have been a bitch to hump those suppressed M-14's through the jungle.

Would have been worth it to send some bad guy to his maker in the middle of the night with nothing more than a "phfffft".....

longrange1947 08-26-2004 17:14
M21s and PVS2s
 
Now that brings back memories of wepaons that did not hold a zero and were about a ton to carry. The suppressors were not that good though.

Anyone remember the moa adjustments on that beast the PVS-2?

Lets just say coarse is an understatement and it was made in the mount ugh!

Tuukka 08-27-2004 08:25
Sionics M14SS-1 suppressor.

Airbornelawyer 08-27-2004 08:47
What are the external differences between an M-21 and an M-14? Not my field, but I thought a match grade barrel was the main difference.
