Default The Identification of M14 varients.

As I am a M14 fanby I have taken note about how often the Springfield M1A Rifle has been called an M14 rifle. Now I have acess to a M1A and I have aquantaices who own M14 rifles. Externally the only way to tell a real M14 from an M1A is the fact that the M14 has a "Joy lever" and the M1A does not. Another thing to note is that the M21 Rifle does have a selector lever intact. Thus a scoped M1A is not a M21 Rifle.


Yes I know I'm Bitching but We should strive for accuracy.

I'm currently chatting with people who are experts on the M14 family and I am going to try and correct things. Still for the Film Armorers here how common are real M14 rifles and How common are semi-automatic only versions?
