ETA: phony switches use to be sold to fill up the hole but I have no idea if they are still made or where to buy one.
A vendor named "sparrowhawkm14" used to sell them, but I have no idea if he still does.
I wanted a fake selector lock to put in there instead of a "happy switch"...in the end I decided it wasn't worth the bother.

$65.99? Ouch!!! They were around $15 when I got my M1A in the mid 80's.

M-14 auto
In my first stint of Army service in the mid sixties, I carried the full auto M-14. Loved it on semi, couldn’t hit anything on auto. Just a waste of precious ammo. I own one today as a M1A in super match.

Full Auto
Melvin Johnson proved as far back as 1939 that full auto was VASTLY inferior to well-aimed semi-auto. Not only were the second and third rounds way off target as expected, the FIRST round was not as accurate! That's because the shooter knew what was coming so didn't aim as carefully and also flinched a bit in anticipation. Why Ordnance fell for the Russian method of poorly trained troops with autos who sprayed and prayed is beyond me.
Real men measure once and cut.
