M-1 Garand was the best rifle ever made, the M-14 was basically* a M-1 with a 20 round removable magazine.

*yes the M-1 was 30-06 and the M-14 was 7.62mm and could be made to fire full auto, but the basic design was the same.

BTW a M-14 on full auto fires at 760 RPM, so you will enpty a 20 rd mag in under 2 seconds, been there , done it ....hehehe

Allways felt if you were strong enough for the m14 full auto, would rather have browning auto but i guess it was to outdated and heavy.Only saw 1 never got to fire it. Does anyone know how m 16 standing up in desert warfare,I can hit anything right on out to 150 yards with my mini 14 .223 but that is sure close.Anyway never asked.

It's not the 7th Armored Cav. It no longer functions as a regiment. There are the 1/7 Cav and 2/7 Cav. They're basically the reconnaissance elements of the 1st Cav Division. There's also the 3/7 Cav which serves as the reconnaissance element of the 3rd Inf Division. 4/7 Cav is part of the 2nd Inf Div stationed in Korea. I think they're talking about reactivating the 5/7 Cav and attaching it to the 3rd ID, but not real sure about that. The greeting of the day when saluting officers, etc is still "Garry Owen."

demaw,

I "think" it's the round version but has no "go fast" switch. I'd have to go look at it and right now it's half way accross the country from me.
