Hi Guys,

There is an auction here (Australiaicon) for an m14 said to be fully automatic. I have only seen pictures because Australia is a very big place and I can't get to the auction and so will be telephone bidding. The m14 has a 20 round mag, is in 7.62 NATO and has a wooden pistol grip added to the stock. It is not exactly a seamless join. It also has a folding pistol grip(metal) on the for end.

It is stamped, on the top rear of the receiver U.S. Rifle and below that 7.62MMM14, the below that WINCHESTER in capital italics, With, in smaller print below the words TRADE MARK with what I assume to be the serial number bow that, 29477.

The selector switch which I assume to be on the right side near the rear of the receiver, below the lettering, is round rather than having an indicator point and the auction house "expert" told me that it needed a tool to turn it.

He also said that he went over the entire rifle and it has no military markings whatsoever, nor did it have proof marks.

Can any of you shed light on what exactly this is eg could it be a prototype M14icon for the role of a squad automatic rifle?

Thanks in advance for your help,

Mike
