The M14 rifle was formally adopted on 1 May 1957, to replace the M1 Garand rifle as the "Standard A" infantry weapon of the U.S. Armed Forces. The M14 evolved from a long series of experimental and prototype weapons. The developments that led to the adoption of the M14 began in 1944 with the T20 series of M1 rifles. The T20 rifles were M1 Garands modified for both semiautomatic and full-automatic operation. The M14 was designed to replace the Browning Automatic Rifle, M1 rifle, M1 and M2 carbines, as well as the M3A1 submachine gun. The M14 rifle, along with the newly adopted M60 7.62mm general purpose machine gun, were expected to fulfill all the needs of the infantryman while using one common cartridge.

However, in place of the previously well-documented early evolution of Russian military weapons published elsewhere, this book includes an in-depth study of the many variations of the civilian semiautomatic-only, AK-style rifles that have become very popular in the U.S. since they were first imported in the 1980s up to the present time. An outstanding and comprehensive study. An absolutely Very Fine As New first edition copy that would be really hard to duplicate at a reasonable price.
