Episode 19: US Army Training Film: M-14 Rifle, 7.62mm Operation and Cycling T. F. 9 2970
That’s mouthful of a title. This is a US Army training film made to familiarize American soldiers with the operation, use and maintenance of the M14 battle rifle. The film uses field use footage along with animation and over sized mock ups of the weapon’s internal mechanism to show how exactly it works. This rifle was first introduce in 1957 as the US armed forces standard rifle until it was replaced by the M16 in the mid ‘60s. But, it has recently made a comeback first as a marksman rifle and its original battle rifle configuration.
A civilian, semi-automatic version called the M1A is still in production and is very popular. So civilian users can get an up close and personal guide to maintenance for it.
