Collector Grade Publications, Soft cover, 11 x 8½ in, 352
pages, 246 illustrations, Revised Second Edition, 1991.
The definitive study of the last, true lock, stock, and
barrel 'T' US battle rifle, US Rifle M14 spans the fateful
postwar era of the decline of Army Ordnance as the arbiter
of US small arms development. The story begins with an
in-depth examination of wartime modifications to the M1
rifle (M1E1 - M1E14) and the original Garand-based "T"
series (T20, T20E1, T20E2; T22, T22E1, T22E2; and T27).
Then the rest of the T series (T28; T31; T33; T35; T36;
T37; T25; T47; T44, T44E1 - T44E6). The adoption of the
T44E4 as the M14 in 1957; scopes, silencers, and folding
stocks; the M14 in Vietnam. Now with more information on
the latest USAMTU modifications which transform the M14
into the gilt-edge M21. |
