Grenade-launching M14 Rifle Stock.
The M14 grenade launcher was little-used, as the M203 grenade launcher came soon after the M14, and would have eliminated any need to launch grenades from M14, being far more accurate and a lot faster to use. These stocks, mostly birch, have had the grenade sights removed, but have the proper holes for mounting the sights on the left side of the stock. Somewhere in the warehouse, we have some sights, which, if we ever find them, we will throw in a sight, free, but you will have to dig up the wood screws to mount them with. Meantime, these stocks, an interesting rare collectible, range in condition from VG (mostly refinished by Uncle Sam, which is when the sights were no doubt removed) to Good condition.

On the M14, detachable 20-round box magazines were used. The normal M14 fired semi-automatic only. A slide-on bipod could be provided, and the rifle fitted the M76 grenade launcher which was slipped on to the flash suppressor and secured to the bayonet lug.

That same year [1961], the experimental breech loading X-1 40 mm grenade launcher was built for the M14. It attached to the gas cylinder and bayonet lug. Aiming was performed using the standard M15 grenade launcher sight.
