I rag on the M14 alot.
I’m not going to stop. It was, is, and shall remain the worst service rifle of the 7.62 service rifle era.
But that didn’t mean it wasn’t made to work. That didn’t mean it couldn’t work. It just means that the requirements to make it work, keep it working, and keep it updated within the modern parameters and mission scope required of our 7.62 rifles were better accomplished with other rifles.
Josh and Henry take one of the accurized variants of the M14/M1A, the M21, through their speedway course and it performs… well, hit play and find out. Stay for the discussion too.
