I qualified expert with the M-14 and really like it. For a Military weapon the sights were very good and the two stage trigger wasn't bad. 20 shots of 7.62 MM was power. I bought two M-1's from CMP and find both of them to be great shooters and the nostalgia if firing that eight shot en bloc .30/06 is worth every penny. I also can make some pretty fair long distance shots with it. So what to pick if the deal got real? M-16A1 hands down. Accurate, reliable, and put's a perfect storm of fire. Try humping an M-14 and 300 rounds of ammunition in magazines and I'll bet you would trade for a 16 before the next sweep. Oh, but they jam! Funny, I cleaned mine when it was dirty and it never malfunctioned once. Bullet's too light! No, it's not. It does the job.
