		The rifle would be called the M14, and it was the main service rifle until sometime in the late 1960s when we switched to the revolutionary M16.
		Some M14 rifles are presently in civilian hands with the blessing of the authorities, but the originals were equipped for full-auto fire and require the tax stamp, etc. For that reason Springfield Inc. (Dept. ST, 420 W. Main St., Geneseo, IL 61254) produces a semiauto rifle that is completely civilian-legal.
		For rifle shooters with a few years on the range, there are immediately noticeable similarities between the World War II M1 and the M1A in the shape of the receiver, controls, and sights.

		General dissatisfaction with the M14 and numerous studies led the Army to the development of a light weight weapon capable of firing a burst of small caliber bullets with a controlled dispersion pattern.
		The purpose of this test was to determine if production-line samples of M16 rifles would comply with performance specifications; to detect any design, manufacturing, or inspection deficiencies; and to determine the accuracy and the ability of the rifle to function when subjected to automatic-fire roles and under various adverse conditions.
		This study was undertaken to determine the proper role of the small arm in the mechanized rifle squad and investigate a requirement for an assault submachine gun light enough and small enough to improve the capability of the mechanized infantry squad to better perform its mission with increased firepower.

	U.S. Rifle, cal. 7.62mm, M14
		The FN rifles offered during the Army trials in the early to mid '50s were called T-48s and differed from later FALs only in the use of wooden stocks and hand guards.
		Long story short, we adopted the M14 after selling NATO on the new.30 round, knowing full well that modern infantry tactics that included selective fire capability would prove to be near impossible for either the FAL, the M-14 or the German Heckler and Koch G-3 due to severe recoil and muzzle climb.
		M14 rifles were built by Harrington and Richardson, Springfield Armory (the government arsenal, not the commercial company that copied the name), Thompson-Ramo-Wooldridge (TRW) and Winchester.

	Chinese M14 Rifle Evaluation
		As you fire the rifle, the bolt will "collapse" back onto the locking lugs of the receiver until "enough" surface contact is engaged to stop the rearward force caused by the 50,000 PSI or so that is produced on each firing.
		That a rifle has not failed catastrophically, nor a wing fallen off, is hardly a measure of acceptability, safety or serviceability.
		John Kepler has inside information that the DCM was actually looking at using Chinese receivers for providing M14 rifles to Service Rifle competitors, and access to a steel analysis done on the recievers, showing it to be 5100 steel, which is a very good alloy for receivers, but a bit difficult to work.
