I've always liked the M14 EBR configuration, it's a great update to a great rifle.
However, I hate the space between the trigger guard and the magazine. I know that's a holdover from a c-stocked rifle, but I still think it can be mended. What do you think? Can the EBR be shortened by moving that whole assembly forward though a relatively simple gunsmithing job (like with a Saiga conversion)? Or is it doomed to be stuck like that?
Also, about weight, I've been wondering is it would be a good idea to replace the aluminum frame of the EBR with a carbon-fiber fame with aluminum inserts for the rails. What do you think?
Comments and constructive criticism appreciated.
