[Different]

I received a private message at BR.com yesterday from a Navy Seabee stationed at Camp Anaconda in Iraq. He said he talked to a soldier who was carrying an issued bone stock USGI Winchester M14. There was no scope from the description and it was wearing a plain jane USGI synthetic stock. The soldier said him and his buddy had been issued M14 (M Fourteen) rifles instead of the "mouse gun." His words, not mine. 8)

I have been talking to a board member who's currently in Iraq now re: my rifle that was for sale. He indicated that M14s are being acquired from everywhere--drill teams, academies, storage areas around the US--with the goal being to have at least one in each squad. (not his words, but i am paraphrasing from memory).
