TRW M14NM Rifle
The M14 Rifle
The M14 rifle design is one of the finest and most durable of this century. John C. Garand had more than a little to do with the evolution of the M14 from his M1 Rifle, particularly his work on the M14's final development at Mathewson Tool; the M14 remains the culmination of the life's work of that immortal firearms designer. Along with the FN-FAL and the AK-47, the M14 is considered to be one of the finest military rifles ever issued. It certainly represents the end of an era, where "lock, stock and barrel" had literal meaning and the Rifleman prized accuracy over "firepower." The M14 is truly a "rifle for life," an heirloom to be passed down the generations.
The M14 rifle is unique among US military rifles in that it has never officially been made available to the public by either the US Government or a Government contractor. Originally, the balance of the components of the M14 rifle, save its heart, the receiver, have been available for purchase. In recent years this supply has been supplemented by commercial reproductions of many components. The receivers in particular have been made available from a variety of commercial sources, with varying degrees of dimensional accuracy and production quality.
But the civilian desiring an M14-type rifle now can buy or build a rifle that is a recreation of the original. With our new Fulton Armory semiautomatic M14 receiver and our Fulton Armory M14 rifles, we can recreate not only the last of the wood and steel US service rifles, we can recreate the M14's resurrection as the premier battle rifle system of the War on Terror.
Check our M14 Rifle page for details of the M14-type rifle we can build for you; check our M14 Parts page for details on the wide range of parts, tools, accessories and books we offer to help you maintain, upgrade and shoot your M14-type rifle.
Thanks for your interest!
