M14 is the first line so long neohřála and after seven years, was gradually replaced by the M16 rifle caliber 5.56 mm. M14 but ended in the dustbin of history. As a support weapon for the selected sharpshooters, or if we as a sniper, is used today. One of the latest version of the M14 EMR implementation, which we will talk more today.

What are the biggest changes in version M14 EBR with the original design? The most obvious difference is the new light-alloy body, which replaced the original wooden design. The new design not only the body is much more user friendly, but also allows the attachment of standard mounting rails.
