Possible straight scope?

All these are listed at Great Models
I haven't seen an M-14 since some very old Monogram figures in the 60's.

Starlight scopes come in that M16 set.

And you can find an M14 (2 actually) in the similar Vietnam weapons set.

The .38 can be found in the Tamyia US Weapons set. The Dragon M-16 set above does contain a Starlite scope. I have all the sets listed above, including the Vietnam weapons set with the M-14. In my opinion they are all great sets.

Well, typical for DML, sometimes it's in production, sometimes not. Check the online hobby shops.

It's a nice set: M14s, M16s, Thompsons, BARs, MP 40s, Stoners, M79s, F1 SMG, L1A1, G3, suppressed Sterlings, etc.

I have not seen it listed in production in some time. I would check ebay, they come up there from time to time.

There's an M14 (scoped) on Dragon's modern sniper team. Also, I believe Tank makes M14s.
