M14 Rifle New - Paratrooper Version, in Original Military Configuration, Birch Wood, Semi-Auto, 7.62x51 NATO - By James River Armory. : The James River Armory M14 Paratrooper is a beautifully crafted semi-auto rifle, built on a Gen-2 billet receiver in 8620 steel, making it a faithful recreation of the as-issued USGI M14. Featuring a USGI contour 19-inch 4150 steel barrel with a 4-groove, 1-10 twist, this rifle offers exceptional accuracy, replicating the 1960s US military \"light match barrel.\" With a mix of original USGI parts and high-quality new components, it combines authenticity with modern craftsmanship. Each rifle is completed with an original USGI birch wood stock that has been expertly refinished, capturing the classic look and feel of the historic M14. This is the closest to new semi-auto U.S. Military version of the M14 rifle on the market today. In our opinion all others pale in comparison. From it\'s forged receiver, to its historically correct birch wood stock and matching hand guard this rifle has it going on. Fully warrantied by James River Armory. Ships with owner\'s manual, warranty cards and 1-20 round magazine all in a hard case for maximum protection.
