		With the realization that the M-14 has remained an extremely sound design as both a Main Battle Rifle and especially as a Squad Designated Marksman (SDM), the previous problems with accurized M14 designs have all been successfully addressed by Smith Enterprise.
		This patent-pending design overcomes the significant problem associated with previous attempts to develop a light trigger for the M-14, wherein once the light trigger pull has been established, the trigger could easily fall off safe and discharge when dropped or jarred.
