Does anyone know the real story of where those selector welded up M14NM's came from? I remember my first years at Perry with the NH state team 15ish years ago, we had M14's with welded selectors. I always thought it was weird that we had them set up that way. I believe the M14's somehow came from CMP or NRA and were donated to the NH state team. From time to time the welds would break loose and ruin someones target. Which at the Nationals, completely sucks.

For the record (for me) they shot very well in the 200yrd offhand and 600yrd prone. I was always clumsy with them in the rapid fire mag changes. Overall, I liked it better at Perry than the AR. The heavy weight gave them good stable shooting.

The two assigned to me was one with a wood stock and one with a really tacky looking woodland camo plastic stock.
