One of the guys I know in reenacting is a Major in the US army. Before going to Iraq, when he was a Captain, he found a stash of wood stocked M14 rifles. He then equipped his entire company with M14 rifles before they left for Iraq.
a very wise man.
I once met a guy at sanicle airshow, he was pretty old, but he was one of the guys who went to the USA with the FN FAL for testing. US army soldiers liked it during testing, yet the FAL still got rejected. Like almost all of those US soldiers= Say WHAT?
They loved the accuracy and firepower. The M14 was also a very good rifle, but the FAL just looked bad-ass
A gaint collection argentine FAL's. There fate? All used by british troops because the argentines had automatic FAL's and the british only semi-automatic
the british trololoolololed there brass by not destroying the FAL's and infact use them
