US Rifle M14 - From John
Garand to the M21 |
R Blake Stevens
Collector Grade Publications, Soft cover, 11 x 8½ in,
352 pages, 246 illustrations, Revised Second Edition, 1991 NS
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. |
