I loved that M-14.

I have an M1A (semi-auto M-14).
The selective fire model is really not useful enough to go through
the NFA hassles. To be useful you would have to make it as heavy as a
BAR, (the rifle, not the guy) ;-)
It may have been a mistake not to buy a real M14 in 1981 when I bought
this one tho. I could have had one for $1800 (vs the $600 I paid for
the M1A) and they go for about $20k now

Wow. I had no idea they were that valuable.
