The M14 is a selective-fire rifle, thus not many of them made their way into civilian hands. But thanks to Springfield Armory, thousands of M1As in a number of variations have been enjoyed by recreational shooters around the world since its introduction in 1974. You can learn the evolution and capabilities of the undefinedSpringfield M1A in this "I Have This Old Gun" segment from a recent episode of American Rifleman TV.
