The Chassis is machined from high strength aircraft grade aluminum and has a removable Kydex forend and comfortable ERGO pistol grip. A little heavy as far as typical sniper rifle goes, but for a battle rifle or Designated Marksman Rifle (DMR), it feels about right.Īs a part of the conversion to an EBR, the owner decided to fit the rifle in a Sage International M14ALCS-HB Tactical Aluminum Chassis stock, a model that has been used in combat by Special Operations units throughout the world. It has a two stage trigger, so upon initial squeezing of the trigger there is portion of take up, followed by a smooth crisp release, breaking at 4.5 pounds. It is wide, smooth and comfortable, though we feel a ribbed texture might be a nice option. This is a nice addition which gives the trigger a more natural feel as compared to the factory trigger shoe. The trigger has been fitted with a Athenswater trigger shoe which was designed for stocks with a pistol grip and changes the angle of the trigger squeeze more to the back than up. Thus far the owner has not seen the need to make any changes to the original 22” National Match Medium Contour Barrel. The action in its unmodified form functions smooth and cycles with a positive return upon release. The National Match version of the M14 has been a renowned rifle, known for its accuracy and reliability and they have contended for decades in Service Rifle and Conventional High Power Rifle matches. This EBR started life as a factory Springfield Armory, National Match M1A. The goal of the owner of this rifle was to build an EBR that met the standards of what an EBR was suppose to be and to do this with off the shelf components. The M14/EBR has long been a favorite among some here at Sniper Central, and we were pleased with the generosity of a longtime friend to loan us his cherished rifle for review here.

Thus, the creation of the Mark 14 Mod 0 Enhanced Battle Rifle (EBR) began. In the year 2000, Special Operation units were looking for the extra power of the M14 in a more compact version of a battle rifle for close-quarters (CQB) and to also to fill the designated marksman role. Though the Military phased out the M14 as the standard rifle with the introduction of the M16, it has remained active in various USA military branches, and is still in use today in its original configuration as well as some different and unique variations. Soon after its establishment, Springfield Armory, Inc was sold to the Reese family who has continued the production of the Springfield M1A since 1974. This new civilian version was called the M1A. infantry rifle from 1959 up until the M16 replaced it during the Vietnam War. Balance registered the trademark of “Springfield Armory” (no relation to the original company other than the name) and dedicated his company to the first civilian production of the M14 rife which had been the standard issue U.S. Military firearms from 1777 until it was closed by the federal government in 1968. Springfield Armory was the primary manufacturer of U.S.
