Was the trigger lever geometry changed for this? The M14 has a trigger that pulls sort of "up", as opposed to a rearward pull suitable for hand orientation when gripping a pistol grip.

I forgot to add a picture of the M14E2

The M14 is an awesome system. I packed a Mk4 in Somalia and was not satisfied with its performance. I know that many have wet dreams for a 6mm military cartidge, but in my estimation, something along the lines of a .250 Savage, or better yet, a .308 necked to .257 would be ideal...a 25-08 not subject to the pressure limitations of the .250 Savage and its lever action downloadings. Chambered in a Mk4 or a collapsible FAL it would, in my estimation, be the ideal system. I know there are those here with far more combat experience than me. As such, I remain interested in all input....
