#1 7.62×51mm should be an improvement over the 5.56mm round. The rifle is heavier than the M16.

#2 Similar to the changing of an MRAP tire, I predict SPC Susan Tentpeg will have a challenging time toting the M110A1 and ammo.

#3 I still prefer the M-14.

#4 The M110 has been in use for more than 10 years. HK take over the contract?

#5 M-14 was my best long range success at the Edson Range at Camp Pendleton. 500 yards slow fire in the prone position. Iron sights and Dog target, 20/20.

#6 I have a Springfield M1A. I bought both Jerry Kuhnhausen's books and have read a few articles by Gus Norcross. It can be a very accurate rifle but it takes work. I recommend both authors to anyone who works on their own M14 / M1A.

#7 Bula Defense in Cleveland, OH makes everything needed for a true left handed M-14 style rifle.

No problem B'. Got to recall those old B&W films from the days of the old British Empire. "Gun bearer, bring me my gun!" For 'diversity' you know.

Ever see old B&W photos from WW2. Two medic stretcher bearers carrying a WIA. Look today, four medic stretcher bearers carrying a WIA. Guess why? /rhet question
