Reminds me of back in 1963 or so when we made the switch from the good ole M-1 to that new fangled thumb biting M-14.
Me, I liked the 20 round clips, so the M-14 and I became fast friends real quick.

I think that in recent decades, our military has been more open to change and quickly adopting new technologies than they may have been in times past. Sometimes you need to carry some extra band-aids while you get used to the new things though :-)
Thank you for serving our country :-)
You switched to the M-14 from the M-1 in 1963? Was this in a military application? I'm too young to have first hand knowledge of this, so I'm just curious. I thought all of the M-1's were replaced in the mid-50's, but that was just a hunch.
