Weapon ID - Picture
Gentlemen,
Can anyone give me any information on this M14 variant? Looks like it has maybe an ultimak rail mounted and some kind of a specialized break but otherwise I have no idea what I'm looking at.
Thanks!!

Rocketman, go back and read the instructions you received when you signed up and comply with them before posting again.
If they are no longer go here and read the rules. http://www.professionalsoldiers.com/...ead.php?t=3452

You have no idea what you're looking at because you didn't do any basic research. Sorta like you failed to read the instructions you recieved when you signed onto PS.com. I would recommend starting over again from square one - with an introduction, just like everybody else does.
BTW - It's probably a varient of a BM-59.

My appologies to all. Posted in Intro:
Former US Marine 1975-1978. (3yr enlistment option) MOS 0351 Assaultman. Alpha Co 1st Bn 4th Marines, Golf Co 2nd Bn 6th Marines, Weapons Plt. Father was a Marine pilot (SNJ, Hellcat, AD-1 Skyraider and F9F Panther) Youngest son just left the Marine Corps and oldest son is a Marine student Naval Aviator with VT-3 in Pensacola.
With respect I did do basic research but the BM-59 didn't come up. Obviously I didn't search hard enough. Point taken and next time I'll look harder. Thanks for setting me straight AND answering the question.

Part of the job. Thanks for volunteering to be an object lesson - and for the good graces to get with the program without a lot of drama.

Ha ha yea that's a tough call because I love my Marine Corps and I'm proud of my service. I absolutely still think of myself as a Sergeant of Marines. I've been out a long time and my youngest son just got out with plenty of sand in his shoes so "former" seems plenty good enough for me.
Hell I'm just happy my 1st Lt son doesn't make me salute his air winger ass.

Two of my best friends are "former" Marines (and I introduce them as such, just to get a rise). They usually set me straight with a swift punch to the arm.
