Especially with how front heavy it was with the bipod and Peq 15. My nether region suffered massively that deployment walking around with that thing. When the 110 came to the line units... just as heavy it seemed but the weight was distributed more evenly. Still though....the EBR.... absolute legend.

@@oConshien From what I’ve researched, the M21 is a semi-automatic only designated marksman rifle, with its main appearance distinction being its wood/polymer shell. The M14 is an enhanced battle rifle (the gap between an assault rifle and an anti-material rifle in terms of its cartridge) that has select fire capabilities and later renditions being equipped with RIS rails to mount PEQs, Bipods, fore grips, and optics. I think another specific difference is that the M21 is more universal (MW1 was specifically the SAS) and the M14 is American specific (The armed forces used it as a DMR in the early 2000s, when the game came out, since it was used with both 141 under NATO and the 75th)

I have a Mk14 EBR made from converting a 1980's era Springfield M1A, much like the way many wartime conversions were done. What makes the Mk14 EBR glass bedding equivalent is that the operating rod guide is replaced by one that ties into the SAGE chassis using three sizable bolts. It's one hunk of metal when all is said and done. The final accurizing is done by properly tensioning a set screw in the very front of the chassis. This dwells out the last of the barrel's tip vibrations during firing effectively making the thin barrel act like a much thicker one, same as the way a barrel tuner does. The bonus to this experience is that I figured this out by exchanging several phone calls with Clint McKee at Fulton Armory back when he was alive. They were fun phone calls as we were both trying to figure out how close the aluminum chassis could get to a fully accurized, skim bedded, match gun. Combining it with carefully loaded 175gr match ammo, I was able to get the gun to shoot down to 0.75 moa shooting NRA Midrange Prone matches. That's more than plenty good. The rifle continues to hold accuracy today. I've seen people try putting M1A's into the SAGE chassis skipping replacing the op rod guide. These never perform well. You need to fully unitize the action into the chassis.

[@ExtremeUnction1988]

seriously? How could you even do it without replacing the oprod guide? The whole front end beyond the receiver wouldn't be secured to anything!

[@CMPInstructor]

@@ExtremeUnction1988 it doesn’t make sense to me either. It completely defeats the value of the EBR upgrade to skip it. Might as well leave it in the original stock. But people do it because they don’t cherish the idea of driving that pin out of the op-rod guide and altering their gun so it cannot go in the factory stock anymore. This is a go all the way or don’t do it mod.

[@shaneclark5596]

Mine shoots 1-1.25 . Except I use 168s. This whole "tighten the wrong screw and it goes from a 1 moa gun to a 4 moa gun" could be easily fixed by knowing just a little about the rifle. Its not as complicated as people make it out to be. M14s like to be locked down tight. In a chassis and in your grip. Done. Its a great rifle.

Only a $1000 chassis for an obsolete rifle. Best idea ever.

[@WetWiIIy]

Nice video man! I enjoyed this one. My first ever rifle was an M1 Garand, so the m14 derivatives always appealed to me in the modern CoD games as a kid and teenager. Even as I can now recognize the prominent flaws in Uncle Sam's implementation of the m14 throughout the years, it still has a swag factor in photos and the like. To be fair though, it was a traditional M21 you started out with in All Ghillied Up, not the EBR. But hell, nobody can complain about the CoD4 music you used anyway! Gave me the feelz.

You guys should tape a high-impact mic onto the weapon itself for the intro scenes. It will pick up the sounds of the internal movements and the grinding, scraping, pinging, venting and clicking of the operating mechanism will bring me to (and hopefully over) the edge I mean will improve your production quality. Tape a mic to that dirtbike too just make sure the mics have the right internal - dynamic microphone probably. Or a condensor mic if you've got the stones. Rode Microphone Company will be interested.

When I was trained on the ebr when I was a private in 2012. My unit got two president 100 tab wearers to train us and they claimed that m80 ball is a last resort ammo to use because it not designed for precise mid-long range shooting and had us order m118LR ammo. We used m80 so we could get a feel in the difference and it was noticeable pass about 500m if memory serves me right.

I was in boot camp Dec '68 to Feb '69. Everybody had M14's. It was unremarkable at the time. Between Sand Hill and Harmony Church at Ft. Benning there were 60,000 men in training. There were also 60,000 men per month being inducted into the services nationwide in 1968. Once upon a time.

The M14 may not be the most reliable, accurate, or well designed gun, but damnit I love it anyway. EBR or classic configuration, she just looks too damn good and is too fun to shoot. Thanks for the review. Love the MW2 music also.

[@quietus13]

Accuracy is hit or miss depending on many factors, but always at least minute of man and if you know your particular rifle you can really make it a tack driver. I think this personalization and individual character of each particular rifle is why so many who have one or used one love it because it bonds you to it and you really feel like you make it your own. Like forging your own sword or something primal like that. As for reliability and durability they are top tier. Yeah if you cake mud on the op rod and fire it, it will jam up like in range tv demoed, but guess what so will pretty much anything other than an AR. However if you are in a much more realistic scenario and get a little dirt or sand in the magazine and it ingresses into the action, it will keep chugging along fine whereas many ARs especially older variants (pre fancy smancy coated bolts and parts) will choke right up. It is an older design, and not as optimal as others, but it is still excellent. That all being said the AR design is simply genius and Eugene Stoner is a national hero along with Sam Colt and John Moses Browning.

Deployed with M-14 during '76-'88 Navy enlistment. I never shot a M-16 during that time. I bought a Remington 7400 30-06 after enlistment because it most resembled the M-14. I have killed a truck load of deer with the 7400 and it feels very similar to my M-14 at the range.

[@thebanditman5663]

I love the idea of the EBR. In places like Afghanistan where engagement distances could exceed the effective range of an M4, having just one guy with a 7.62 rifle with consistent rifle quals would allow him to reach out and touch that enemy while others get closer. And it doesn’t weigh far too much compared to an M16, nor is it much longer, so it can still do urban stuff.

[@__Al_Ex__]

I’d like to see a reliability test on this. The major reason keeping me from getting it over another 7.62.

[@joeygwood]

It's a very high maintenance system if you want it to be accurate. The M110 is a superior system IMO.

[@gabeyeakel9112]

I had one in 2010-2011. Super cool looking and very accurate from Rock Island Arsenal. It is not balanced well, heavy to hold in alternate firing positions for extended periods of time, optic sits super high, and the mags sucked. Just go with a 7.62 AR pattern rifle.

[@c.j.griffis2101]

M110 is definitely a superior weapon in most aspects. That’s because the M14 is after all just an improved Garand which stems from the late ‘20, early ‘30s.

[@ALovelyBunchOfDragonballz]

Its reliable enough, but that shouldn't be the reason stopping you. If its for nostalgia then get it, if its for an actual precision rifle then do an AR10/SR25 pattern.

[@squidy4082]

Or just an ar10 ?

[@0bserver416]
