BTW, tag # 6864 is an M-14 carbine. The army made about 20 prototypes. The barrel was thinned and shortened, the flash suppressor got the same treatment and the bayonet lug was eliminated. The protective wings on the rear sight were ditched and every attempt was made to trim any excess metal wherever it could be trimmed. They only ended up saving about a pound and the gun overheated rapidly, even with the selector lock in place.
The entire program was dropped.
