Springfield Armory still produces M14 clone rifles. They are in semi (full auto is inacurate anyways) and are called M1A1's.
There were 4 producers for the US military- Springfield Armory, H&R, Olin Mathieson (Winchester) and TRW. The civilian rifles (clones) are not the same as the true M14, and are made by several companies.
Ammunition - USGI, Chinese and Taiwanese M14 type rifles are chambered for the 7.62x51 mm NATO cartridge (1.6350" GO, 1.6405" NO GO, 1.6455" FIELD REJECT). U. S. commercial M14 type rifles are chambered for .308 Winchester for the most part. However, many U. S. commercial M14 type rifles have USGI or Chinese M14 barrels threaded on their receivers. The commercial manufacturers head space their rifles to SAAMI specifications (1.630" GO, 1.634" NO GO, 1.638" FIELD REJECT). A U. S. commercial made M14 type rifle can use either .308 Winchester or 7.62x51mm NATO ammunition. This is because the headspace limits for .308 Winchester are smaller than for the 7.62x51mm cartridge as noted above. http://www.alpharubicon.com/leo/m14typeriflesd.htm
the top 3 rifles in the american military are the M4, the M16 and the M14
No, the M14 was developed in the 20th Century. The Civil War saw the use of muzzle loading percussion cap rifles, breach loading single-shot rifles, and saw the introduction of lever action repeating rifles. The only rapid fire weapon was the hand cranked Gatling Gun.
the m14 came into use just before the Vietnam war but scince it was heavy and the recoil was bad in full automatic it quickly was replaced by the M16 but still used it as a sniper rifle and marines today are dusting off old m14s and using them as sniper rifles
The AGM MP008 M14 is not made of wood although it can be possible
The assault rifles in Black Ops are: M16 Enfield M14 FAMAS Galil AUG FAL AK-47 Commando G11
Yes
Yes.
The M14 is still in use in limited niche roles. Most of the M14s used by the Marine Corps have had the full auto capability removed, which makes sense, as just about all of the 7.62x51 battle rifles (M14, G3, FAL, etc) are just short of impossible to control on full auto.
The M14 rifle is indeed still in use by the US military. While most soldiers are issued the M16 , or the carbine version of the M16, the M14 is still used where longer range fire and greater penetration may be needed.
