Sage International is providing a stock kit to users of the M14 rifle. Special Operations Command is currently overhaulling M14 rifles to the Mark 14 Mod 0 Enhanced Battle Rifle at the Naval Weapons Station, Crane, Indiana.
The standard wooden stock and fiberglass handguard of the M14 are replaced by the EBR stock. This stock has integral MIL-STD-1913 rails for the mounting of accessories such as the vertical grip on the M4 5.56 NATO carbine, tactical sights, laser illuminators, or optics. A Harris bipod is easily fitted or removed. The new EBR stock telescopes for compactness and has a pistol grip similar to that of the M16 rifle or M4 carbine. A cheekpiece is attached to the telescoping stock rails to give the shooter a consistent sight picture with either iron sights or optics. The telescoping stock has a recoil-absorbing butt plate.
A standard M14 has its 559mm [22.0 inch] barrel replaced by a 470mm [18.5 inch] barrel. The standard M14 flash suppressor is replaced by a Smith Enterprises Vortex suppressor that kills 99 percent of the muzzle flash. The standard M14 bolt stop is replaced by an extended Smith Enterprises bolt stop. This allows bolt closure similar to that of the M16 rifle or M4 carbine. A new front sight with a tritium insert is mounted on the rifle's gas cylinder lock. A 38mm [1.5 inch] MIL-STD-1913 rail replaces the the charger clip guide. The short rail (and the one atop the EBR stock, allows the mounting of standard telescopic sight bases.
Fulton Armory in the U.S. can provide the EBR kit. Photos of the installed kit and other details are found at www.fulton-armory.com.
