They will be selling a limited supply of military M14 rifles that have been permanently modified to be semi-auto only later this year.  I imagine they'll go for a few thousand dollars each.

That is awesome!  Full original USGI matching bolt, Op rod & trigger group in good condition? - yes you are right, those will go for a few thousands, ... and will go fast!

Thanks for posting!

Mark Smith touched up on this helping the Scotus awb case.   These were machine guns converted to semi and actually used in the war.   Now they're being sold to civilians with government approval.

This has been a long time in the making as it was attempted before but past administrations didn't want it released to the public as they were built as select fire weapons.  I think there are some in public hands prior to 1986, some still select fire and some converted to semi.

Information on the welding technique converting the M14s to semi-auto.

Interested in picking up one of these too, always wanted an M14.

Some updates from a CMP interview:  https://www.yahoo.com/news/us/articles/cmp-boss-says-m14s-under-153141217.html

"The government is going to keep some for ceremonial purposes and some for operational reasons, but they're going to transfer the overwhelming majority of them to us," O'Keefe told Shooting USA. "It's going to be well over 100,000."

With that, every gun show boomer selling a repro M14, no lowballs I know what I got, died a bit inside. Genuine military surplus M14s for under $2,000 are going to tame the market, providing collectors and shooters with a more affordable rifle and unrivaled provenance.

"We're expecting between two and 3,000 shotguns from the Army. We expect them, probably in the fall of this year (2026)," he said. "438 of those are the 1897 Winchester trench shotguns." Yes, the Browning boomstick that makes Germans cry "warcrime" is coming to the CMP for civilian sale.

Thanks for the continuing posts zippz! - greatly appreciated!

USGI M14's are a boon for us - what a rifle!

Since it straddles the world between classic "gunsmithing required" and modern standardized plug and play component-based arms (like the M16 that shoved it aside so rudely), a whole bunch of them hitting the market will certainly help the gunsmiths & parts manufacturers out there, and I suspect LRB, Fulton & James River will do just fine too - maybe even prosper - that's good for everyone.

An American classic that they thought was wholly superseded - but were dead wrong in places like Afghanistan, and now Ukraine.

Last rumor I heard that some may have the Sage EBR chassis and some may have "National Match" conditioning. Anyone know if there ever was USGI double lugged receivers? Perhaps on team guns?

The EBR's would be gone - instantly.

Holy slam fire Batman!

I wouldn't have any use for a M14 but a real 1897 trench gun would be sweet.

I love that the Army still had those warehoused just in case.

CMP will start selling M14s in January 2027.

Also the 1911 lifetime limits will be reset to 2 per year.
