Here's my take on the adoption of the M14. Take a look, and let me know your thoughts!

I enjoyed this video, Howard. While it lacked the fast-paced action of "tack driving" and "water bottle desperados," it covered the historical and technical issues. Which helps me feel less ignorant. Thanks.  |

You're welcome. I know this one was mostly just me talking, but it's one I've wanted to do for a while. So far, it has gotten a pretty good response and it has spurred a lot of good conversation.

Howard, you're just plain good with these videos!
The full-power .30 calibers are where my heart is. While an AR 15 lives here, I never really got serious with it for high-power shooting. Too much of an ol' geezer to really believe in its cartridge as a real high-power round. I did take the AR 15 to a local match or two just for fun and my wife and our two sons used it when they came along to the match.
This M1 dates from 6-44 and was a mid-1980s DCM purchase. Thought it was the ugliest DCM rifle I'd seen to date when it arrived as the others I'd inspected were new and nice. Now I'm kinda pleased it's a World War II gun, mostly correct and matching except for rear sight, gas plug, and the trigger group which is a hodge-podge of World War II parts. Shot it in matches at the local level for some years.
A Springfield Armory M1A is kept on hand and will do duty as my competition gun on occasion. It's an early one with a late Devine Texas/early Geneseo Illinois receiver.
Between these two I'm more fond of the M1 and of using it than I am the M1A.
