    17-7-19 M14 Picture of the Day




    Post by Recon 173 from the firearms forum
    When I was in Viet Nam I did duty as a sniper. My rifle was an XM-21. The rifle used 7.62 NATO National Match ammo and was a delight to shoot. It was the most accurate rifle I have EVER shot. I loved it. I have attached a photo of a feral pig that I shot with my rifle. I hit it with one round from about a hundred yards away. While I had my rifle I got into a sniper-to-sniper exchange. I fired one round that the intel guys said hit the enemy sniper right in the head and killed him. The two "trainees" with the dead enemy sniper were actually afraid to move at all for about an hour because they didn't know if I was going to get them or not.

    He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose
    There are no great men, only great challenges that ordinary men are forced by circumstances to meet.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.
