Good Day,
I don't believe that is for a M14, the setup pictured is for the Hk91 and should work in the German military G3.
Regards,
Michael

Michael,
I was also going to suggest the German G3 as I see a couple of German pieces in that box which makes that highly possible ie German Army chain pull through cleaning kit box and magazine lips!

[browningautorifle]

Yes, German G3. I don't remember there ever being a .22 kit for the M14.

In the book "The Black Rifle" story about the M16 there are a few pages which show a TRW M14 converted to use the 5,56mm M16 cartridge, the M16 magazine was also used.
This was an attempt to salvage something from the cancelled M14 contract. There were a few examples produced.

But...not a standard drop in kit like several other had... A scarce and special conversion...

Jim,
Yes like the H&K commonly known kit to do this

I know that this is a common kit, I was speaking of the M14 modified special...like RCS spoke of.
