From the article: “When the M14 was first used, there were some .30-06 M1 rifles that would shoot more accurately.” I must have been in that first group (July 1962)

“I must have been in that first group (July 1962)”

Sounds like it!

When I first fired an M-16 on the 1,000 inch range I amazed the PMI spotters by putting all 10 rounds through the same hole.....it drew a crowd of campaign hats to watch my shooting....Lolololol.....I have good eyesight and even now in my sixties do not need glasses to read or whatever.....lucky!

By the way my next rifle will be a M-1....... though I wish I could find one in 7.62 NATO....
