No ARsisters not like this....

Nice. It's the OG M14 as well, you can still see the autosear on the side although it looks like the fire selector has been removed. Good to see this guy is fond of it.

M2 is a classic of course. We'll probably be using them in Mars. We have so many left over from WW2 production overruns that the one pictured might well have arrived new in box from the 1940s.

Not really. I've taken my M14s out in dust/dirt and as long as you don't actively shove fistfuls of crap right into the bolt face it's fine.

>wood

Garbage. Won't last more than a few months.

>Won't last more than a few months

Oh gee, you better tell that to the millions of 70+ year old wood stocked rifles in Africa that still work good enough today after 40+ years of literally no maintenance. 

I guess the joggers over there are too stupid to know that wood is shit for a combat gun, you ought to go tell them.

Luv me m14's but that optics setup is pretty fucked kek. Still, it's a good video

Nah man, wood can't survivr outdoors. It needs to be kept inside and like conditions where it is manufactured as a manmade product. 

If Satan is telling me to stay away from steel and wood, it only further convinces me that steel and wood is what men should fight with. The evil one fears it.

The fuck do you think wars were primarily fought with before the 50s m8

greatest battle implement ever devised

The M14 was hated because it was issued during vietnam where it was too heavy, ammo too heavy, the capacity too low, recoil too high. The ak rifles of the Vc were lighter and more effective in such an enviroment. Basically when intermediate cartrige assault rifles were becoming standard issue for one reson or another, the US army in its infinite wisdom decided to adopt a SuBmAcHiNeGuN LmG BaTtLe rIfle.it was (im being highly highly reductive) an upgraded m1 garrand. While the garand was hot shit during ww2 during the age of boltaction rifles, the m14 was outdated right out of the gate.

During the GWOT it was pushed into service as a DMR with plastic furniture (ussually had plastic furniture) , optics and whatnot. No real complaints levied against it at the time (that I know of) except that there were more accurate and better designed rifles at the time but it was sufficient to the task given to it
