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.

    That picture was meant to illustrate the weapons the M14icon was going to replace.
    Real men measure once and cut.

    Folks--

    The rifle on the far right is the heavy barrel M15 which did not go into series production. Note; the bipod is different from the later M14A1 M2 bipod.

    --fjruple

    PS-- Many of the left over heavy barrels from the M15 rifle were used to prototype the heavy barrel M14icon National Match rifle.

    The heavy barreled M-15 roughly like the SLR L2A1 version given to our troops in VN.

    Very rare to find an M15 heavy barrel outside of a military display, Neither the HRA T48 nor the HS T48 were ever manufactured with the heavy barrel like the FN T.48

    Carry handle for the Model 1918A2 authorized towards the end of WW2 but seldom seen on BAR's until the Korean War was well underway

    From a Post by Bill Ricca on the M14 column



    Here is a nice picture of the T44E5 Rifle, otherwise known as the M15 Heavy Barrel Rifle. The rifle was given a standardized classification, but never made it to general production. The reference of "heavy barrel" is a misnomer. It actually is very different than the M14icon, having a different gas system, bipod, front sight, flash suppressor, and an extremely different stock and hardware.



    Aside from the stock what are the differences between the two?
