The M14 EBR is a modernized (and much cooler) version of the old m14. Here is a picture. It has a retractable stock and it is slightly shortened while still keeping its accuracy. This rifle is one of the most accurate rifles in the world today and it wins rifle contests all the time. I think it would make a great addition to the BA assault rifle lineup. It could be equipped with a silencer and EOTech scope with magnifier ( pic) or just one of those but i don't think it should have a sniper scope because then it would look like the M21. Tell me what you think. Thanks.

Ugh. Way too tactical for my tastes. There is nothing better than good old fashion wooden rifle furniture.

The old version of an M14 can be made by removing the scope of an M21, which is what I did. I will post some pics, as soon as i get a flickr...

Don't forget that this also has railing and the old M14 does'nt. By the way, EBR stands for enhanced battle rifle or so I've read. Also i think it should be about the size of the BA G36.

Thanks! It would look cool with a grenade launcher on the bottom too if you think about it.

Brickarms has also yet to produce a Sopmod m4. And another thing, once again (sighs and wonders why he has to keep pointing this out) the Old M14 can be made by cutting the scope of the M21. I also agree with Pvt. Caboose that a grenade launcher should be included in the weapon(as part of it, not an attatchment). It'd be a good replacement for the Assault Carbine. This is also used by National Gaurd units by SDM's (Squad designated Marksmen), So it should have a scope, smaller than the M21's, but larger than the Tactical Shotgun's.

Typically the SDM uses the M14 DMR (Designated Marksman Rifle) Not this mutant faux operator nonsense. This version os for kids, recliner commandos. and sailors.

Not bad. I don`t think that Brickarms would do this though( they already have the Combat LMG).

In response to Rev. Riot, according to the magizine Tactical Weapons, The newer version is currently being issued to National Gauurd SDM's. The link on the picture pvt. caboose posted on Apr 16th is broken, please fix it pvt. And in response to BA fan, there are many differences between the LMG and EBR. The EBR is more like an Assault rifle, not a support weapon. The BR also has a scope, Bipod, tactical Rail, and ADJUSTABLE, not FIXED stock. Once again, the old M14 is created by chopping the scope of an M21! Try it if you want, and show us. then you will see the main differences in these m14's and M14 EBR's. The old M14, IN MY OPINION ( very much stress on the opinion) is a waste of Will's plastic, because he already makes 2 guns that can be modded into M14's (Garand and M21) and the BAR prototype would be very similar to the M14. Your comments are welcome here.:)

I like the idea of this gun, it looks really tactical and professional.

The Link works, and might I add that was just the scope I had in mind, not too big, yet not too small. Kudos to another great find pvt.

Thanks! And also here are more pics of the gun. Link. These pictures are of an airsoft replica of the gun and most of the pictures are not what you would be looking for but there are some pretty good close up pictures in there of the gun and magazine and fore grip and whatnot. Also a small description of the gun's history is included. EDIT: For those who would like to see the old M14 and M14EBR side by side for comparison, I hope these helps. Old M14 - link and M14EBR - link. I think they look similar enough to both be called the M14 but different enough to both have a spot in the BA lineup. (by "both" i meant the M14 EBR and a modded M21 or modded M1 Garand)

Your comments are welcome here.:) Actually it's more common amidst the Navy than any other branch hence my crack on sailors. My beef with this is that it carries the M14 name which you've stated can be made several ways but looks almost nothing like the M14! It's too tacticool generic rifle to even be associated with the original or ant of it's variants,
pew pew!

 this is the old M14 above. By looking at the pics below you can see differences and similarities between the m21, m14, and ebr http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y95/jerrellwise/SpringfieldM21.jpgThis is the M21 Above. Without the scope it is almost, with a few changes, the M14 Below is the BA M21. I am upset that I have to keep saying this. If you would prefer an old M14, you can chop the scope off this. As of 4/15/09, the cart is back online! If you mod one please tell us, we'd love to see it. http://www.brickarms.com/Images2/Products/M21_Gallery_6.pngNow below is the EBR. you can see the differences in the old and updated M14's http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v247/-Lone_wolf-/M14EBR2-1.jpgAfter repeatedly saying these things, I am growing frusturated. I know for a fact the the EBR is used by National Gaurd SDM's. The second thing is that it'd be silly for will to produce a weapon that can already be made from the simplest mod. If you have any further concerns about the background info on this weapon, PM me. [MOD - Pictures changed to links since they exceeded the 500x500 pixel rule. -Brickfan93]
