Buy a 2nd Norc M14 for spare parts since the Kommunists ain't making more M14's. Once they are gone, they are gone forever (unless you are ready to pay $ 2000ish for an M1A).
If you want a super accurate semi-auto.... buy an AR15

If you want a tight shooter (grouper) , then buy an M700 Varmint or Police, Savage FP10, Winchester Stealth, or Remmy Sendero
If you want a good deal on a .308 semi-auto , battle proven platform, and a great tweaking rifle that no .223 mouse gun can match in terms of bear or zombie protection, then the M14 boomstick is for you.
Say, we have not had too many (recent ) bear-defense threads, but frankly, the cut down (Chopmod or SOPmod'ed) M14's are unbeatable in the bush, truck guns , or motorcycle scabbard guns (can you say: MadMax Scenario?)
Peace be to journey,
