"Let's put composite stocks on the M14 and issue that as the primary rifle until we get something better."

Sadly to say... IIRC I think we destroyed most of our stocks of M14's years ago. There are a few around but not in any sort of quantity.

Clinton had most of the M14s destroyed. Seems the Marines and SOCOM "lost" a *lot* of the ones they had, though, which is where they're getting their issue weapons now.
